Private Alexandria City Tour from Hotel or Port

You are already in Alexandria, so there is no long drive, just a full morning and afternoon walking the highlights of Egypt's Mediterranean city with a local guide. You descend into the Catacombs of Kom el-Shoqafa, a Roman tomb cut three levels into the rock nearly 2,000 years ago, stand beneath Pompey's Pillar at the old temple of Serapis, and look out from Qaitbay Citadel, built where the Lighthouse of Pharos once stood. You also visit the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the striking modern library that revived the name of the ancient one. Pickup is from your hotel or the cruise port. It is an easy, walkable day at a relaxed pace, whether you are staying in the city or in port for the day. Ideal for travelers who want Alexandria's Greco-Roman story without a long commute.
