About this experience
Begin underground at Kom el Shoqafa, then pause near Pompey's Pillar before moving to the library district.
Follow the city's later history through old streets and the setting of St Mark's Cathedral. Continue along the Corniche past the harbour to Montaza Gardens, with coastal views on the return.
This broad heritage day combines archaeology with the city's religious and royal-era landscape.
