Itinerary
Our guide will meet you first thing in the morning at the hotel and then take you to many interesting sights. You will visit the last remaining ruins of the Serapeum, the temple of the Ptolemaic god Serapis, which was founded by King Ptolemy III during the third century BC. The temple was the largest and most important temple in Alexandria in the Greek and Roman eras (Pompey's Pillar).
After that, you will visit Kom El-Shafafah and the guide will provide you with information about it, such as the layout of the cemetery, the branching of the tombs and their sequence, and the difference in the decorative elements in it, which makes us believe that this cemetery was not built all at once. Excavations have confirmed that the cemetery was expanded during the following centuries, but the similarity of the architectural and decorative elements makes us not extend the period during which the cemetery was expanded to a long time ago. The cemetery, or rather the oldest part of it (i.e. the main cemetery), dates back to the period between the first and second centuries AD.
After a delicious lunch and seafood experience in Alexandria, you will be transferred to the Bibliotheca Alexandrina and then Qaitbay Fortress. In the Citadel, you will be able to do many activities such as entering the Maritime Museum in Qaitbay Citadel (Aquarium Museum) and discovering the exhibits of famous and rare fish, marine animals, plants and algae. Take photos of the stone walkway next to the Citadel.
