After breakfast, your private driver and guide will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza and begin the journey north toward Alexandria. Enjoy the changing scenery as you leave the busy capital and travel toward Egypt’s Mediterranean coast.

Begin your Alexandria experience at the **Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa**, one of the city’s most fascinating ancient sites. Descend underground to explore the multi-level tomb complex, where Egyptian, Greek, and Roman artistic traditions come together in a unique example of Alexandria’s multicultural history. Your guide will explain the unusual mixture of architectural styles and burial traditions.

Continue to **Pompey’s Pillar**, one of Alexandria’s most recognizable ancient monuments. See the enormous granite column that has survived from the ancient city and learn about Alexandria during the Roman period.

Visit the impressive **Bibliotheca Alexandrina**, the modern library inspired by the ancient Library of Alexandria. Explore the striking circular building overlooking the Mediterranean and discover its cultural and architectural importance.

Enjoy lunch at a carefully selected local restaurant. Depending on your preferences, you can enjoy fresh Mediterranean seafood or traditional Egyptian dishes.

Continue along the Mediterranean coast to the **Citadel of Qaitbay**. Built on the site traditionally associated with the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, the citadel offers beautiful sea views and a chance to explore one of Alexandria’s most important coastal landmarks.

Before leaving Alexandria, enjoy a scenic drive along the **Corniche**, passing the city’s beautiful seaside views and lively coastal neighborhoods.

Relax during the private journey back to Cairo, arriving smoothly at your hotel or cruise ship in the evening.
