Escape the busy streets of Cairo and discover the Mediterranean charm, ancient history, and unique atmosphere of Egypt's second-largest city on this Alexandria Day Tour From Cairo. This private full-day experience takes you on a realistic journey from Cairo to Alexandria, where Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Islamic history meet beside the beautiful Mediterranean Sea.
Your day begins early in the morning with pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza. Travel in a comfortable private air-conditioned vehicle along the desert highway toward Alexandria. The journey usually takes around three hours, depending on traffic conditions.
Upon arrival, begin exploring Alexandria's most famous historical landmarks. Visit the fascinating Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, an underground Roman burial complex known for its remarkable combination of ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman artistic traditions.
Continue to Pompey's Pillar, a massive Roman column located near the remains of the ancient Serapeum. Despite its popular name, the monument is actually associated with Emperor Diocletian and remains one of Alexandria's most impressive surviving ancient structures.
Enjoy a break for lunch before continuing to the Mediterranean coast. Visit the impressive Citadel of Qaitbay, a 15th-century fortress built on the eastern harbor of Alexandria. The citadel stands near the historic location associated with the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria and offers beautiful views of the Mediterranean Sea.
Continue to the famous Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a modern cultural landmark inspired by the legendary ancient Library of Alexandria. The building is one of the city's most recognizable symbols and represents Alexandria's continuing role as a center of culture and knowledge.
This private Alexandria day trip is perfect for travelers who want to experience a different side of Egypt beyond the pyramids and temples. Enjoy history, culture, Mediterranean scenery, and a realistic full-day journey through one of Egypt's most fascinating cities.

I am 6 feet tall and 220 lbs. This shirt fit me perfectly in the chest and shoulders. My only complaint is that it is so long! I like to wear polo shirts untucked. This shirt goes completely past my rear end. If I wore it with ordinary shorts, you probably wouldnt be able to see the shorts at all – completely hidden by the shirt. It needs to be 4 to 5 inches shorter in terms of length to suit me. I have many RL polo shirts, and this one is by far the longest. I dont understand why.

The shirt was not the fabric I believed it to be. It says Classic Fit but was made like the older versions, not the soft cotton like my others. I don’t understand how the labels are the same but a completely different shirt. Oh well, stuck with it now.
