Discover Alexandria
Founded by Alexander the Great and capital of the Ptolemies, Alexandria looks out over the Mediterranean with a character all its own.
Its Graeco-Roman catacombs, the great modern library and the citadel built where the ancient lighthouse once stood make a rich day away from Cairo.
Alexandria is about three hours by road from Cairo and can be visited in a full-day private excursion or included in a longer programme.
