In the morning, your guide will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo. You will travel to Alexandria, which the Egyptians call the Bride of the Mediterranean for its amazing beauty and unique architectural style among all Egyptian cities.
When you arrive in Alexandria, you will begin your visit to the most beautiful archaeological sites there and you will start by visiting the Kom El Shoqafa Catacombs.
It is one of the most beautiful Roman tombs and was dedicated to burying the Roman nobles who settled in Alexandria. The amazing thing is that these tombs were discovered by chance when a donkey fell into the main entrance to the tomb.
You can reach the depth of the tomb via a deep spiral staircase around a cylindrical well and in every corner of the tomb were the remains of mummies of the dead.
We will then move on to visit the Pompey's Pillar and the last remaining part of the Serapeum Temple. It is similar in its construction to Trajan's Column in Italy.
This unique piece was carved from a single piece of stone and was carved with precision.
