A day trip from Cairo to Egypt's Mediterranean city — Roman catacombs, the fort built on the Pharos ruins, and the modern library that replaced the ancient one.
Alexandria faces the sea rather than the desert and feels almost European. The catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa mix Egyptian, Greek and Roman funerary art in a single tomb, which happens nowhere else.
Around three hours' drive each way on a good road, so it is a long but comfortable day.
Between 6:30 and 7:30 AM.
Three levels cut into the rock, discovered in 1900 when a donkey fell through.
The Serapeum site and the 27-metre granite column.
On the corniche, which is what Alexandria is for.
Built from the rubble of the Pharos lighthouse it replaced.
The modern library, then the drive back to Cairo.
