Itinerary

Day one: Start your day trip to Alexandria with pick-up from your accommodation in a comfortable vehicle. Begin the tour with a visit to the Catacombs of Kom El Shokafa, the largest Roman cemetery in the world.

Next, drive to the Roman Amphitheater of Alexandria, complete with a display of the sunken monuments of Alexandria, which were discovered under the East Harbor of Alexandria. Stop at Pompay’s Pillar for a photo break.

The next stop is the Library of Alexandria, the largest in the world and home to eight million books. Continue then to the Church of St. Mark, the oldest church in Africa. During the drive, you will pass the old downtown and its fascinating fusion of architecture.

Visit El Nabi Daniel Mosque, believed by many to be related to Alexander the Great’s Tomb and to contain the remains of the scholar and venerated teacher, Prophet Daniel. Proceed to the prettiest and largest mosque in the city, Abbo Elabbas Mosque.

Opposite is the corniche and the old harbor, where you can see fishing boats and traditional fishermen making nets. Pass by the Quaitbay Castle, built on the same site as the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria. Head then to the gardens of Montaza.

Explore the royal gardens of King Farouk and stop at the famous Bridge of Stanley on the way back. Then settle in for an overnight in Alexandria.

Day two: Wake up for breakfast and then head to El-Alamein. Drive for one hour to Alamein to visit the War Museum, which includes the old weapons, tanks, aircraft, and bikes used in the war. From there, continue to the west of El-Alamein to a beautiful town overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and visit the World War Cemeteries, where you can take a look at the final resting place for commonwealth, Greek, Italian, and German soldiers.
