Our Egywonders tour guide will come to your hotel to begin the A Day Tour in Alexandria. We will start by visiting the library of Alexandria, which is now known as the largest library globally, housing approximately 8 million books. During the tour, you will have the opportunity to explore its open court, where you can witness the statues of Alexander the Great and Ptolemy the First, which were discovered submerged in the vicinity. Our guide will also provide insights into the architecture of the library from the outside, allowing for photo breaks. Experience a visit to the Roman Amphitheater situated in Alexandria, where you can witness the intriguing exhibition showcasing the submerged relics of Alexandria that were unearthed beneath the East Harbor of the city.
After that, the car will transport you to the church of St. Mark, which holds the title of the oldest church in Africa. Following this, you will explore the historic downtown area of Alexandria, where you can wander through its ancient city center. Take in the sights of the traditional markets, where you can find a wide array of items for sale, including authentic Egyptian confections. Additionally, the local architecture showcases designs influenced by the baroque style as well as Italian and French influences.
Explore El Nabi Daniel Mosque, an attraction that many believe is connected to the tomb of Alexander the Great. This mosque is said to house the mortal remains of the esteemed scholar and revered teacher Prophet Daniel, as well as those of his companion Sidi Lokman el Hakim, a religious storyteller. You have the choice to either have lunch at a contemporary Fish restaurant or relax at either a high-quality coffee shop or a traditional shisha cafe. Afterward, the vehicle will transport you to explore the most beautiful and largest mosque in the city, known as the Abo Al Abbas Mosque. Adjacent to it, you will also encounter the peculiar scene of an old amusement park, where kids ride vintage attractions and enjoy indulging in cotton candy.
On the other side, you will find the corniche and the historic harbor, where you can observe ancient fishing vessels, fishermen, and craftsmen creating traditional fishing nets. The pictures captured here are truly astonishing. Carry on to witness the exterior of Qaitbay Castle, constructed on the very location where the famous Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, once stood. This magnificent castle is a remarkable spot for taking stunning photographs. Mamoura Beach Resort is situated to the east of Montaza’s royal gardens, and the car will transport you to this location. It is pleasant to take a stroll along the corniche of Maamoura.
