Begin your day with a private transfer from your hotel in Cairo. Egypt’s Alexandria serves as a major Mediterranean port. It was the location of a library with a rich history and a lighthouse that was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World during the Hellenistic era. The library has been reborn in the form of the ultramodern Bibliotheca Alexandrina, which takes the form of a spherical disc. Ancient Greek and Roman sites coexist with modern restaurants and beaches in this city. The Qaitbay Citadel, which was built on the waterfront in the 15th century, is now a museum. The travel duration from Cairo to Alexandria is around 2 hours each way.

Located in modern-day Alexandria, Egypt, the catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa are often regarded as one of the Middle Ages’ “Seven Wonders.”

The necropolis is a collection of tombs, statues, and archaeological artifacts from Alexandria that date back to the Pharaonic funerary cult and shows influences from the Hellenistic and early Imperial Roman periods. Several of the statues in the catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa are Egyptian in style yet wear costumes and hairstyles more typical of the Roman Empire. This is only one example of how the catacombs’ characteristics blend elements of Roman, Greek, and Egyptian culture due to the period in which they were built. Tunnels were dug into the rock during the reign of the Antonine emperors to create tombs, and a circular staircase was used to lower the dead down into them (2nd century AD).

Alexandria, Egypt, is home to the Citadel of Qaitbay, a defensive castle built in the 15th century along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. It was constructed by Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qa’it Bay between the years 1477 and 1479 AD (882 and 884 AH). The Citadel may be found on Pharos Island’s northern tip, just across the mouth of Eastern Harbor to the east.

The Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi Mosque is a mosque in Alexandria, Egypt. It has the grave of Abul Abbas al-Mursi, a revered Sufi leader from the Andalusi region of Murcia who lived in the 13th century.

It may be found in the Anfoushi district of Alexandria, not far from the Qaitbay Citadel.

The Ancient Roman Arena The Great Library of Alexandria is a tourist hotspot in the city of Alexandria. After Cairo, Alexandria is Egypt’s second-largest metropolis. Throughout the Roman Empire, amphitheaters were built all over the place. Greece, Italy, and Turkey were just a few of the places they visited. You may find them all over the place in various parts of Europe and the Middle East. The Roman Amphitheater in Alexandria is unique among Egyptian amphitheaters. For those curious, “Kom El Dekka” translates to “the hill of rubble” or “the hill of benches” in Arabic. The place was given its current name after the well-known historian El Neweiry visited here around the turn of the twentieth century. El Neweiry observed the numerous sand and debris heaps. The formation occurred as a result of the construction of the Mahmoudeyya Canal at the turn of the last century.
