Alexandria: Guided Day Tour from Cairo + Lunch
About this experience
Depart from Cairo in the morning for a 2.5 to 3-hour drive to Alexandria.
Begin your visit at Pompey's Pillar, a large Roman column and one of Alexandria's most recognizable landmarks. Next, explore the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, a fascinating underground tomb complex that reflects a blend of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultures.
Continue to the Qaitbay Citadel, a 15th-century fortress built on the site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, offering insights into the city’s historical significance. Then, visit the modern Alexandria Library, which pays tribute to the intellectual history of its ancient predecessor.
Enjoy lunch, usually at a seafood restaurant along the Mediterranean coast, where you can sample local dishes. Return to Cairo in the late afternoon or evening.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
