Discover the legendary city of Alexandrian on a full-day tour from Cairo, and discover the traces of ancient Egyptians and Roman armies. Descend into the catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa to see fascinating artworks that blend two cultures, visit Pompey's Pillar, then take in views from the 15th-century fortifications at the Citadel of Quaitbay, a fortress built on the site of Alexandria's ancient lighthouse. Explore the city's new library at your own pace - it's a tribute to the library that burned in antiquity - then enjoy lunch before returning to Cairo.
