With expert guides available, guests can gain in-depth knowledge about the exhibits, making it ideal for families, students, and history enthusiasts alike.

Pyramids at Giza

Experience one of the world’s greatest ancient wonders at the Pyramids of Giza, the only surviving monument of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Located just outside Cairo, this legendary site includes the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, the Pyramid of Menkaure, and iconic satellite structures dating back over 4,500 years.

Travelers can explore these architectural marvels up close, walk around their massive limestone blocks, and learn about the ancient engineering that continues to impress historians and archaeologists today. No visit is complete without seeing the Great Sphinx, the world-famous lion-bodied guardian statue standing at the entrance to the Giza Plateau.

Whether enjoying a historical guided tour, riding a camel across the desert sands, or capturing unforgettable panoramic photos, the Pyramids of Giza offer a once-in-a-lifetime experience for every visitor.

Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa

The Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa are a stunning underground necropolis in Alexandria, Egypt, dating back to the 2nd century AD. They represent a unique blend of Pharaonic, Greek, and Roman architectural styles, reflecting Alexandria’s rich multicultural history.

Visitors descend into a labyrinth of underground burial chambers, tombs, and statues, featuring intricate carvings, sarcophagi, and spiral staircases. Highlights include:

  • The Rotunda: A circular chamber with elaborate carvings and niches for sarcophagi.

  • Funerary Statues: Sculptures blending Egyptian and Greco-Roman styles.

  • Mausoleum Chambers: Multi-level tombs with frescoes and hieroglyphics.

The catacombs are not only a historical marvel but also a photographer’s paradise, offering dramatic underground spaces that tell the story of Alexandria’s ancient past.

Citadel of Qaitbay

 

The Citadel of Qaitbay is one of Alexandria’s most iconic landmarks, standing proudly at the entrance of the Eastern Harbor. Built in the 15th century by Sultan Al-Ashraf Qaitbay, this impressive fortress was constructed on the exact site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

The citadel features strong defensive walls, towers, and courtyards, showcasing the architecture of the Mamluk era. Visitors can explore its chambers, climb to the upper levels for panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, and enjoy the refreshing sea breeze while learning about Alexandria’s maritime history.

Perfect for history lovers and photographers, the Citadel of Qaitbay is a highlight of any Alexandria city tour and offers one of the best viewpoints in the city.

Pompey’s Pillar

 

Pompey’s Pillar is one of the most impressive and iconic ancient monuments in Alexandria, Egypt. Standing at nearly 27 meters (89 ft) tall, this massive red granite column was erected in the 3rd century AD in honor of the Roman Emperor Diocletian. Despite its name, it has no real connection to Pompey; the title came from a medieval misunderstanding.

Located on the site of the ancient Serapeum Temple, the pillar is surrounded by remnants of Roman structures, statues, and underground chambers that showcase Alexandria’s Greco-Roman past. The monument remains a powerful symbol of Roman engineering and is one of the largest ancient monolithic columns ever constructed outside Rome.

With its historical significance and open panoramic surroundings, Pompey’s Pillar is a must-see stop for travelers and a key highlight on any Alexandria city tour.
