Following Cleopatra’s Footsteps and Echoes of Rome
Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, Alexandria stood for centuries as the heart of knowledge, culture, and power in the Mediterranean. This legendary city bridges the world of Ancient Egypt with the grandeur of Rome and the mystery of Cleopatra — the last pharaoh queen. Its streets still whisper the stories of scholars, conquerors, and explorers, where history comes alive by the sea.
Citadel of Qaitbay
Built on the ruins of the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria — one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World — the fortress of Qaitbay rises proudly over the harbor. From its walls, you can imagine the centuries that have passed before it, filled with traders, sailors, and entire civilizations.
Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa
Considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages, these catacombs blend Egyptian, Greek, and Roman art in an underground labyrinth carved into the rock. It’s a journey deep into history, where sculptures and reliefs reveal the encounter of two ancient worlds.
Roman Theatre
Discovered by chance in the modern heart of the city, this Roman theatre stands as a reminder of Alexandria’s splendor during imperial times. Its marble columns, mosaics, and perfectly preserved seats bring to life the art and public life of more than two thousand years ago.
Library of Alexandria
Reborn as the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, this modern temple of knowledge pays tribute to the mythical library of the ancient world. Its futuristic design opens toward the Mediterranean, a symbol of light and learning — echoing the universal spirit that has always defined Alexandria.
Diving the Temple of Cleopatra and the Sunken Lighthouse
Beneath the waters of the Eastern Harbor lie the remains of Cleopatra’s ancient palace and the ruins of the fabled Lighthouse of Alexandria. Diving here is like plunging into history itself — columns, statues, and relics that once witnessed a golden age now rest silently on the Mediterranean seabed.
Alexandria National Museum
A cultural gem that brings together treasures from every era — Pharaonic, Hellenistic, Roman, Coptic, and Islamic. Each gallery tells a part of Egypt’s long and layered story, making this museum a must-see to truly understand the city’s historical depth and elegance.
Extend your journey and stay overnight in Alexandria. Enjoy a few relaxing days by the Mediterranean, stroll along the Corniche, and experience the charm of a city where every sunset tells a story.
