Acerca de esta actividad

Alejandría es la ciudad más grande de Egipto, y en ella se respira un ambiente que es más del Mediterráneo que de Oriente Próximo, y es famosa por sus ruinas romanas. Alejandro Magno fundó Alejandría en 312 a. de C., y fue la capital del Egipto grecorromano.
Su primera parada en esta histórica ciudad son las catacumbas de Kom ash-Shuqqafa, un enterramiento cuya tumba familiar es testigo de la mezcla del arte y la arquitectura egipcios y romanos. Baje al nivel subterráneo para visitar la tumba y el Salón de Caracalla.
De vuelta a la superficie, continúe hasta llegar al Pilar de Pompeyo, una columna de granito de 25 metros de altura construida en honor al emperador Diocleciano, que liberó la ciudad sitiada y trajo alimentos a su hambrienta población. Continuando con la temática romana, el próximo lugar que le mostrará su guía es el anfiteatro romano, que probablemente sea el monumento romano mejor preservado de todo Egipto. En el mismo recinto están los restos de una calle romana y sus casas.
Tras el almuerzo (incluido) visitará la famosa Biblioteca de Alejandría. En contraste con la arquitectura antigua común a todo Egipto, este edificio de creación noruega es un espectacular ejemplo del diseño moderno. La biblioteca cuenta con una copia de todos los libros publicados en todo el mundo, lo que la convierte en uno de los grandes recintos literarios del mundo. La biblioteca alberga además varias exposiciones relativas a la historia de Egipto y una muestra de libros raros antiguos (coste adicional).

This was a fun trip. You are picked up from your hotel and begin your journey bright and early to Alexandria. Very professional and knowledgable of all the history in Alexandria. If I wanted to make a quick stop somewhere else on the way, there were no issues. Totally worth your time and you won't be disappointed.

Outstanding. Our guide picked us up as scheduled and drove to Alexandria. We saw many sights and the guide explained them in detail. We visited the Library at Alexandria. The building is as much a work of art as the collections. Very nice lunch overlooking the bay and then a pleasant drive back to our hotel in Cairo. My only regret was having to leave. Highly recommended.

A wonderful trip. I required a Chinese speaking guide trially, they did that! Surprised me! I have to say that it was perfect trip. Generally we visit four attractions and a restuarant in Alexandria. Not too many people there and the food was really good. An amazing city. Driver and guide are highly recommended. The guide name is Mahmoud Mohamed Fayed, If you are a Chinese visitor, he will be the right person for you.

It is a long drive to Alexandria... there are good things to see and our Egyptogist Tito was amazing. Unfortunately, the library was closed because of elections two days later... would have liked for the company to have checked this before.

This was a wonderful tour. Our planned departure was 7:00 AM. The night before I got a call from our tour guide asking if we would mind starting at 6:00 AM instead. He said we can beat a lot of the traffic coming back. And a lot of traffic there is in Cairo. We agreed and our tour guide and driver showed up promptly at 6:00 AM the next morning. We made the 3 hour journey from Cairo to Alexandria. Our guide spoke English well, he was very knowledgeable, and passionate about his work. He told us he was flexible and he would make any detours that we would like. And that's exactly what we did. After the burial site we asked to sit down for some shisha. They knew exactly where to go.We sat down for some coffee and shisha in a nice cafe. I asked how far our next stop was and he pointed across the street. He said Pompey's Pillar is just past these walls that we are seeing. It was so nice to just sit down and take in the whole thing and live like those in Alexandria. Anyways, we hit the pillar, and then headed over to the amphitheater before having lunch on the Mediterranean Sea. Our guide took us to a wonderful seafood restaurant. Food was included in the price, but drinks are not. No big deal, as drinks are not expensive anyways. After lunch we went to the library, but we were a little disappointed with this stop. Maybe we were just expecting an older library. Everything is brand new and modern. It's still a wonderful place, but the old library was destroyed. After the library we headed back to our hotel. We didn't get back until about 5:00 PM. Boy were we glad that we started early! We said goodnight until tomorrow morning to our tour guide and driver. It was so nice to have the same group for all of our tours. We tipped the tour guide 100 LE (Egyptian Pounds) and the driver 50 LE for each tour. All-in-all this tour was worth the money.
