Itinerary

Day01|Alexandria | Catacombs| Pompey’s Pillar | Qaitbay Fortress Roman Amphitheater | Alexandrina Bibliotheca|Port
Upon arrival will pick you up from Port by your private guide who will ‎accompany you by air-conditioned car to visit:
Catacombs
It is considered one of the seven wonders of the world in the Middle Ages. It is the largest Roman cemetery, and the cemetery consists of a series of tombs, statues, and archaeological remains of Pharaonic funerals.
The importance of the cemetery is due to its vastness, abundance of decorations, and the complexity of its planning. It is also one of the clearest examples of the mixing of Pharaonic art with Roman art in Alexandria, and one of the best examples of funerary architecture in Alexandria.

Pompey’s Pillar
Pompey’s Pillar was built in honor of Emperor Decaldianus. The total height of the column, including the base, is about 2,685 metres. On the west side are two bases, which can be reached via an underground staircase. There are also two pink granite statues that look like sphinxes.
-Lunch at a good restaurant in Alexandria.
Qaitbay Fortress
Qaitbay Citadel is considered one of the most important defensive fortifications on the Mediterranean coast. It was built on the ruins of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria to fortify the city.
Pictures can be taken on the outside patio.
Roman Amphitheater
It is one of the oldest Roman tourist places in Egypt.
The building is listed in the shape of a horseshoe or the letter U and consists of 13 rows of marble terraces numbered with Greek letters and numbers to regulate the seating pattern, the first of which is from the bottom and can accommodate about 600 people. It is made of pink granite, and there are 5 booths at the top of these stands, of which only two booths remain. The outer wall is a strong support for the inner wall. At the entrance, which is located on the western side, there are two mosaic rooms with geometric decorations.
