Da sapere su questa attività

Alessandria, la seconda città più grande d'Egitto, ha un'atmosfera più mediterranea che mediorientale ed è famosa per le sue rovine romane. Alessandria fu fondata da Alessandro Magno nel 312 a.C. e divenne capitale dell'Egitto greco-romano.
La tua prima tappa in questa città storica sono le catacombe di Kom el-Shoqafa, una necropoli romana in cui le tombe di famiglia testimoniano la fusione tra l'arte e l'architettura egizia e romana. Scendi sotto terra per visitare il mausoleo e la Sala di Caracalla.
Tornato in superficie, prosegui verso la Colonna di Pompeo, un monumento in granito alto 25 metri ed eretto in onore dell'imperatore Diocleziano, che liberò la città sotto assedio e sfamò la popolazione stremata. Proseguendo sulle tracce dei romani, la guida ti porterà all'anfiteatro, probabilmente il sito romano meglio conservato d'Egitto. Qui troverai anche i resti di una strada e di alcune case romane.
Dopo il pranzo (incluso) visiterai la famosa Biblioteca Alessandrina. In netto contrasto con l'architettura antica che caratterizza il paese, questo edificio, progettato da uno studio norvegese, colpisce per il suo design moderno. Qui è conservata una copia di ogni libro pubblicato nel mondo, il che la fa entrare di diritto tra i grandi luoghi della letteratura. La biblioteca ospita anche numerose mostre sulla storia dell'Egitto e un'esposizione di rari libri antichi (a un costo aggiuntivo).

This was a fun trip. You are picked up from your hotel and begin your journey bright and early to Alexandria. Very professional and knowledgable of all the history in Alexandria. If I wanted to make a quick stop somewhere else on the way, there were no issues. Totally worth your time and you won't be disappointed.

Outstanding. Our guide picked us up as scheduled and drove to Alexandria. We saw many sights and the guide explained them in detail. We visited the Library at Alexandria. The building is as much a work of art as the collections. Very nice lunch overlooking the bay and then a pleasant drive back to our hotel in Cairo. My only regret was having to leave. Highly recommended.

A wonderful trip. I required a Chinese speaking guide trially, they did that! Surprised me! I have to say that it was perfect trip. Generally we visit four attractions and a restuarant in Alexandria. Not too many people there and the food was really good. An amazing city. Driver and guide are highly recommended. The guide name is Mahmoud Mohamed Fayed, If you are a Chinese visitor, he will be the right person for you.

It is a long drive to Alexandria... there are good things to see and our Egyptogist Tito was amazing. Unfortunately, the library was closed because of elections two days later... would have liked for the company to have checked this before.

This was a wonderful tour. Our planned departure was 7:00 AM. The night before I got a call from our tour guide asking if we would mind starting at 6:00 AM instead. He said we can beat a lot of the traffic coming back. And a lot of traffic there is in Cairo. We agreed and our tour guide and driver showed up promptly at 6:00 AM the next morning. We made the 3 hour journey from Cairo to Alexandria. Our guide spoke English well, he was very knowledgeable, and passionate about his work. He told us he was flexible and he would make any detours that we would like. And that's exactly what we did. After the burial site we asked to sit down for some shisha. They knew exactly where to go.We sat down for some coffee and shisha in a nice cafe. I asked how far our next stop was and he pointed across the street. He said Pompey's Pillar is just past these walls that we are seeing. It was so nice to just sit down and take in the whole thing and live like those in Alexandria. Anyways, we hit the pillar, and then headed over to the amphitheater before having lunch on the Mediterranean Sea. Our guide took us to a wonderful seafood restaurant. Food was included in the price, but drinks are not. No big deal, as drinks are not expensive anyways. After lunch we went to the library, but we were a little disappointed with this stop. Maybe we were just expecting an older library. Everything is brand new and modern. It's still a wonderful place, but the old library was destroyed. After the library we headed back to our hotel. We didn't get back until about 5:00 PM. Boy were we glad that we started early! We said goodnight until tomorrow morning to our tour guide and driver. It was so nice to have the same group for all of our tours. We tipped the tour guide 100 LE (Egyptian Pounds) and the driver 50 LE for each tour. All-in-all this tour was worth the money.
