Let`s Explore the magic of Alexandria. Alexandria, the mermaid of the Mediterranean, is the city you yearn to visit in summer and winter. Our one-day cultural trip includes a visit to the catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa. The cemetery consists of a series of Alexandrian tombs, statues, and archaeological objects of pharaonic funerary cults with early Imperial Hellenistic and Roman influences. We will then move on to Pompey’s Column, a gigantic column that originally supported a statue of the emperor. Our next stop will be the defensive fortress of the 15th century, the Citadel of Qaitbay, and the Roman Amphitheater, which includes the remains of an ancient Roman theater, baths, and a villa with mosaics.

Royal Jewelry Museum
The Royal Jewelry Museum displays the collectibles of the Egyptian royal family, founded by Muhammad Ali Pasha in 1805 and continued to rule for 150 years, until 1952.
Zaynab Fahmi built the palace in 1919 in Zizinya, Alexandria. It served as the residence of Fatma al- Zahra’, daughter of Prince Ali Haider, a descendent of Muhammad Ali Pasha. The palace serves as a striking backdrop to the magnificent possessions owned by the family. It uniquely merges between European and Islamic styles, reflecting the fine taste of the royal family whose paintings, gilded ceilings, and mosaics decorate the palace rooms. The palace consists of two wings, eastern and western, connected by a corridor. Each wing has a basement and two floors.
The Roman Amphitheatre of Alexandria
The Amphitheatre of Alexandria was discovered by coincidence in the year of 1960. When the Egyptian government was getting ready to set one its buildings in the area of kom El Dekka, one of the workers found solid column underneath the dust and sand during preparing the location by engineers. Immediately, an excavation team where down the location to examine what have been found. The Roman theatre was a very important discovery in the 20th century. It was proven that the theatre was built since the 4th A.D century and was used up until the 7th century passing by the Roman, byzantine and Islamic eras.
