Tag 01 Things to do in Alexandria

Your guide will meet you at the reception of your hotel to start your tour.

Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa:

Archeologists believe that the Catacomb of Kom el Shoqafa was started in the 2nd century A.D. and was used to intern the dead for the next 200 years. This was a period in the history of the city of Alexandria when there was a great mixture of different cultures. Of course, there was the ancient history of the great Egyptian kingdoms, which went back thousands of years. Also in 332 B.C., Alexander the Great had conquered the land, established the city of Alexandria, and started a dynasty of Greek rulers who brought their own culture to the metropolis. Finally, in 31 B.C., the Romans took control of the city and added their traditions. Happy Egypt allows you to know that

Pompey’s pillar:

Pompey’s pillar is a Roman column in Alexandria and the largest of its type constructed outside of the imperial capitals of Rome and Constantinople. The column was made of Aswan granite. It is about 27 m high. You will be provided with a lot of information during your Egypt day tours.

The column was built in 297 AD, commemorating the victory of the Roman Emperor Diocletian over an Alexandrian revolt. It is wrongly dated to Pompey.

The Citadel of Qaitbay:

The citadel of Qaitbay was built in 1477 AD by Sultan Al-Ashraf Seif El-Din Qaitbay. The citadel was built on the site of the famous Lighthouse of Alexandria, which was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Sultan Qaitbay was born in 1423 AD. He was a Mamluke bought by Al-Ashraf Bersbay. 

Then Sultan Djamqaq bought him and gave him freedom. Qaitbay occupied various posts. He was the chief of the army during the rule of Sultan Tamar Bougha. When Sultan was dethroned, Qaitbay was appointed as a Sultan in 1468 AD and ruled for about 29 years. Qaitbay was fond of art and architecture. The construction of this citadel started in 882 AH. Know more information during your trip to Alexandria from Cairo.

Roman Amphitheatre:

It is one of the most popular Alexandria highlights. The amphitheaters were widespread during Roman time. This Amphitheatre is the only one that still exists in Egypt. Located at Kom El-Dekkah (Hill of Benches), named due to many piles of rubble and sand found there. Kom El-Dekka theatre was where important meetings like public assemblies and governmental summits took place. This theatre consists of 13 rows numbered in Roman digits.

The Library of Alexandria:

It is one of the largest libraries in the world and is one of the largest Alexandria sightseeing that you can visit. Located on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea. It is a commemoration of the Library of Alexandria, which was lost in antiquity, and an attempt to revive something of the brilliance that this former center of study represented. The library was officially inaugurated in 2002. It contains books in Arabic, English, and French.

We took a ride in the village of Slavia, but I couldn't find an option to review this activity
Because it is temporary so I found this company on the Internet, customer service staff is good, but the only US is not enough is that he can only brush cards online can not pay cash, hope to have the option of paying cash

We had a great afternoon
Leading our guide Ahmed people are good, we because of the previous trip delayed time, let him wait for us a while on the boat, up to the boat to discover the entire boat only us, he also gave us water and drinks, we saw the sunset on the boat to take pictures very carefully, the road Ahmed like we told the surrounding view, some understand some not understand, but this is the charm of travel
Finally arrived at the place where Ahmed was very good to support us in the upper edge, the youth who carried the rope was also reassured to give us, but there was no stubborn edge in the back of the supervision, on the road we would run for a while and walk very self-sufficient, in his body we were afraid and excited, and finally walked into the village of slavery, we went to eat slavery bread with black sugar and adult food, that servant and our soy milk taste super like soy milk, also drank black tea, because Arab coffee is interested so we also tried, the taste is very special. Finally we went to the school in Slavia for a class, really a classroom, we quickly learned some Arabic and Slavic, really too hard, but very happy, if not to rush back and gather, really want to slow down the whole village
