Alexandria Over Day from Cairo

The Thebes Tours International guide will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo for an unforgettable day trip to Alexandria, approximately a 3-hour drive from Cairo.

Your journey begins with a visit to Pompey’s Pillar, a monumental structure erected in honor of Emperor Diocletian at the end of the 4th century. Originally part of the Temple of Serapis, it once rivaled the grandeur of the Soma and Caesareum.

Next, you will explore the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, the largest Roman burial site in Egypt. These catacombs feature three levels carved into the rock and are an extraordinary testament to Roman engineering and funerary practices.

Enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in Alexandria before proceeding to the Roman Theatre, one of the city’s most renowned archaeological sites. While Roman amphitheaters were built across the Roman Empire, the Roman Theatre in Alexandria is the only one of its kind in Egypt.

At the conclusion of your tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Cairo.
