Itinerary

Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa

Pompey's Pillar

Learn about the site’s historical significance as the location of the Serapeum, a temple dedicated to the god Serapis. The temple was destroyed in 391 AD during the rise of Christianity, and today, only the pillar and some tunnels remain.
Explore the surrounding area, where remnants of the Serapeum and recovered artifacts, such as a black basalt bull, offer a glimpse into the city’s ancient past.

Fort Qaitbey

Explore the fortress, which is situated on the historic site of the ancient Pharos Lighthouse, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The fort provides stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea and the city of Alexandria.
After exploring the fort, enjoy a relaxing drive back to Cairo, where you will be dropped off at your hotel.
