Set off on a memorable day trip with Sun Pyramids Tours, where the timeless beauty of Alexandria unfolds. As your Egyptologist guide greets you at your Cairo hotel, prepare for a scenic 137-mile journey to Egypt’s legendary Mediterranean capital.
Stand in awe before Pompey’s Pillar, a towering tribute to Emperor Diocletian. Descend into the haunting Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, where layers of Greco-Roman and Egyptian history intertwine. Savor authentic cuisine at a local Alexandrian restaurant, then take in the grandeur of the Citadel of Qaitbay, a majestic fortress echoing the era of pharaohs and Mamluks.
Visit the ancient Roman amphitheater, showcasing Alexandria’s deep cultural roots. Continue to the iconic Alexandria Library, a modern marvel built in tribute to its ancient namesake. If visiting on a Friday, enjoy a unique experience as the Roman Theater takes the spotlight in place of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.
As the day draws to a close, we return you to Cairo, leaving you inspired by the echoes of the past. With Sun Pyramids Tours, every journey is a personalized private tour, and every site—a timeless memory.
Alexandria library is closed on Friday so you can visit the roman theater instead.
