Catacombs Of Kom El Shoqafa
The catacombs of kom El shofaqa also known as the hill of treasure, regarded as a huge necropolis and royal cemetery that dates back to the second century AD. The necropolis has a unique mixture of Roman, Hellenistic and pharaonic art elements reflected in the paintings on the wall, and the style of the statues, funeral objects and tombs. The archaeological site was one of the seven wonders in the middle ages.

Ancient Roman Amphitheater
more than 500 years and was the capital city of Egypt during important eras. Greek scholars and philosophers visited Alexandria in order to learn more about the Egyptian culture that admired the whole world. Under the Ptolemaic rule, they set many roads to connect the city with the surrounded harbors and islands, and also built many construction that are regarded recently as historic monuments. Alexandria library, the lighthouse, Pompey's pillar and other main Alexandria attractions were done in the time of the Ptolemaic dynasty and Roman emperors. The Roman amphitheatre of Alexandria is one of the distinguished highlights of the city as well, in which we are going to discuss its history and design with details in this article.

Pompey's Pillar
Its name is misleading. This single column standing on a rocky hilltop in the middle of Alexandria has nothing to do with the Roman Consul and General Gaius Pompey who was Julius Caesar’s rival in a civil war and was murdered by a Ptolomaic pharaoh in 48 BC when he fled to Alexandria. This legend was started by Crusaders, who thought the 100-foot (30 meter) red Aswan granite pillar marked his burial site. The pillar is instead the a triumphal monument erected around 300 AD for the Roman Emperor Diocletian, but the true significance of this archeological site is what stood here before the pillar. It is the site of the Serapeum, Alexandria’s acropolis.

Pharos Island On the northern tip of Pharos Island, Sultan Qaitbay (1468-1496 AD) built the picturesque fort of Qaitbay. The fort was built on the Mediterranean shore to protect the northern borders of the country against invaders. The Pharos Island was a perfect place for constructing strategic buildings. Earlier, Ptolemy II (280-247 BC) built a lighthouse, which was considered as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, rising up to 100 meters high. The lighthouse was subsequently destroyed by several earthquakes and factors of erosion. Blocks of this ancient lighthouse were used to build the stronghold of Qaitbay. In 1475 AD, the Sultan El-Ashraf Seif El-Din Qaitbay went on a touristic trip with his family and chose this strategic site to fortify the northern borders of Egypt. The fortress was inaugurated in 1477 AD.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Historical Alexandria Full Day Tour from Cairo - Guide & Lunch & Tickets Inc: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Historical Alexandria Full Day Tour from Cairo - Guide & Lunch & Tickets Inc cost?
+
Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Historical Alexandria Full Day Tour from Cairo - Guide & Lunch & Tickets Inc take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cairo is not rushed.
Is Historical Alexandria Full Day Tour from Cairo - Guide & Lunch & Tickets Inc worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Historical Alexandria Full Day Tour from Cairo - Guide & Lunch & Tickets Inc?
+

Is Historical Alexandria Full Day Tour from Cairo - Guide & Lunch & Tickets Inc suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Historical Alexandria Full Day Tour from Cairo - Guide & Lunch & Tickets Inc?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cairo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cairo and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Historical Alexandria Full Day Tour from Cairo - Guide & Lunch & Tickets Inc start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cairo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cairo?
+
On Outty we rank every Cairo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-in-One Giza Tour, inside Pyramid, sphinx, Camel ride & lunch, VIP Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx Tour –Inside the Pyramids&More, Best of Cairo Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Museum Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cairo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cairo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
