Egypt's Mediterranean City — One Day

Alexandria was founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC and became one of the ancient world’s greatest cities — home to the Lighthouse (one of the Seven Wonders), the Library of Alexandria, and the tomb of Cleopatra.

Today’s Alexandria blends ancient ruins with Mediterranean character. Our full-day tour covers the Greco-Roman Museum, the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, the new Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Pompey’s Pillar, and the famous Corniche waterfront.
