Private Alexandria: Kom el Shoqafa, Pompey Pillar, Library,Qaitbay castle & the Roman Theater Tour
Alexandria, Egypt was the capital of Greco‑Roman Egypt. It still keeps examples of its greatness with historical treasures from that period. Our certified tour guide who speaks English will meet you at the hotel in Alexandria to begin your Alexandria culture trip from Alexandria. You will arrange a pick‑up time with your operator. Start your day Tour by Visiting the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages.
Discovered by a donkey in 1900 the catacombs represent the Roman cemetery in Egypt and include the remains of more than 300 individual tombs. Constructed in the 2nd century A.D. for one family the catacombs were later expanded to three levels cut 90 feet deep into existing rock. The catacombs now merge Roman, Greek and Egyptian aspects in their design and decoration. The catacombs are accessed by a series of descending steps.
You will also be surprised by the Bibliotheca of Alexandria. It was not an important ancient library but also the Centre of learning and scientific research in the ancient world and a destination for scholars from all over the Mediterranean and beyond comprising 8 million books. The new Bibliotheca is the important modern project in Alexandria built adorning the sea boulevard like the sun of knowledge is rising upon the Mediterranean from Alexandria.
The next stop on your day trip is a visit to Pompeys Pillar, an 88‑foot red Aswan granite column with a circumference of 29 feet. Perhaps Alexandrias best‑known monument Pompeys Pillar was constructed in honor of Emperor Diocletian in 293 A.D.
Continue to see the outside of Qaitbay castle which was built on the same site as the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. A spectacular castle which is a great photo stop.
Your excursion will conclude with a visit to the Roman Theater. Also referred to as the Roman Amphitheatre the site dates to the 2nd century A.D. Unearthed during excavations in 1960 this well‑preserved Roman Theater features galleries, sections of flooring and marble seating for up to 800 spectators. After the visit, to the theater you will be returned to the hotel.
