Tour Overview
Catacombs, Qaitbay, the library court, and the Corniche, with the desert road there and back. This itinerary is "Alexandria Day from Cairo". Named stops: Kom el-Shoqafa catacombs, Qaitbay Citadel, Bibliotheca Alexandrina court, Corniche.
A long Mediterranean day from Downtown Cairo. The vehicle is private so lunch and the library court are not slave to a coach clock.
The Citadel of Saladin is Islamic high ground: the alabaster mosque of Muhammad Ali and Cairo spread below the walls. The Bibliotheca Alexandrina is a modern court of light by the sea — the reading rooms and the plaza, not the vanished ancient stacks.
