Overview of your Cairo tour:

Join me in this tour to discover the city of Alexander the Great where we can see the Catacombs of Kom El Shuquafa, one of the wonders of Egypt. Discovered by a donkey in 1900, the catacombs represent the largest Roman cemetery in Egypt, dating back to 2nd century A. D. Next stop will be Pompey's Pillar, which was constructed in honor of Emperor Diocletian in 293 A. D. Then we visit Quitbay fortress, which was built in the same site of the Ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria. We will drive behind Mediterranean sea and taking our pictures with this wonderful view. . . We continue our tour with the library of Alexandria -the most famous library in the world- and, finally, we have our lunch in a seaview restaurant before we go back to Cairo. Since I am actually an Alexandrian citizen. I will show you all the details of my city, the history, the people, how fishermen are living here and I will choose for you the best spots for pictures. Come discover with me the secrets of Alexandria!
