About this experience
Swap Cairo's inland streets for Alexandria's coastal setting.
The day links the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa with the harbour and the Qaitbay Citadel area, giving you a view of the city both below ground and beside the sea. A lunch break adds time to pause between stops.
The Bibliotheca Alexandrina can be considered when its opening arrangements fit the route; its interior is not a promised stop. Allow a full day for the road journey in both directions.
