    The "Pompey Pillar," also known as Egypt's most revered memorial column, stands tall as a symbol of historical significance. Fashioned from solid red granite, this colossal structure reaches a staggering height of approximately 28 meters, while its base boasts an impressive diameter of 2.7 meters. Adorning the upper portion of the western side lies an inscription inscribed in the elegant language of Greek. This inscription pays homage to the esteemed Emperor Diocletian, known for his unwavering commitment to justice and his role as the guardian of Alexandria. It also acknowledges the monumental efforts of Postumus, the esteemed Prefect of Egypt, who oversaw the erection of this magnificent monument. Through its grandeur and historical relevance, the Pompey Pillar serves as a testament to Egypt's rich heritage and enduring legacy.

    : The Qaitbay Citadel in Alexandria is considered one of the most important defensive strongholds in Egypt and along the Mediterranean coast. In the 15th century A.D., it was essential to Alexandria's fortifications. The Citadel resides at the entrance of the eastern harbor on the east point of Pharos Island. It was erected on the site of the famous Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The lighthouse continued to function until the time of the Arab conquest. Several disasters occurred, and the shape of the lighthouse was changed to some extent, but it continued to work. Restoration began during Ahmed Ibn Tulun (about 880 A.D). During the 11th century, an earthquake damaged the octagonal part. The bottom survived but could only serve as a watchtower, so a small Mosque was built on the top. In the 14th century, a destructive earthquake destroyed the building. optional stop for lunch at fish market

Amazing pyramid views!

I highly recommend this tour. We saw everything we wanted to and Bisho, our guide, was excellent in his knowledge regarding the places we went to. Both him driver were very accommodating and friendly. The car was exceptionally clean an well air conditioned. I will definitely use this tour company again. Loved it.

I'd totally recommend our guide Bisho

A whole day of excitement as soon as you leave your hotel door! Ehab was a great guide that knew exactly how to make the most of an intense day. The road to Alexandria from Cairo is a beautiful drive through desert landscapes, and every site in Alexandria is breathtaking. So many historical and cultural phases in one single city. Highly recommended tour, especially with Ehab and Teto!

Punctual, Knowledgeable and Professional

Published on Jun, 2023

Our English-speaking driver Youssef was punctual. His vehicle was clean and the A/C worked well. He was patient and didn't rush us. Enroute from Cairo to Alexandria, he imparted information about the landmarks we were viewing. In Alexandria, our tour guide was Karam. He was very knowledgeable and was able to intelligently answer all my questions, which leads me to believe he was not just parroting a script. We visited the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, the Library of Alexandria, and the Citadel of Qaitbay. All were impressive sights with interesting histories. After our ~3-hour tour, we had lunch at the Fish Market, a seaside restaurant, not a fish market. We enjoyed the view of the Bay of Alexandria and the Citadel of Qaitbay through the large windows surrounding the restaurant. We also appreciated the A/C in the height of summer in Egypt. All told, I highly recommend this tour. Our driver and guide did a great job. It was a pleasant day trip to Alexandria.
