Day 1: Alexandria Tour from Sokhna Port — A Full Day Exploring History and Culture
This Alexandria Shore Excursion from Sokhna Port is designed to let you experience the city in one complete day without rush or confusion.
You will move through underground Roman tombs, ancient theaters, iconic columns, religious landmarks, and modern cultural centers, all in one carefully planned route.
The goal is to give you a full picture of Alexandria’s identity through its most important landmarks.
Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa + Roman Amphitheater + Pompey’s Pillar
A Journey Into Ancient Roman Alexandria
The first stop of your Alexandria Day Tour from Sokhna Port is the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, one of the most unique burial sites in Egypt. This underground complex is carved deep into rock across several levels and represents a rare blend of Egyptian and Roman artistic traditions.
As you move through the corridors, you will see detailed carvings, burial chambers, and symbolic decorations that reflect how ancient civilizations treated life after death.
Next, you will visit the Roman Amphitheater, a small but impressive archaeological discovery hidden beneath modern Alexandria. The stone seating and circular layout show how public gatherings and performances once took place during the Roman era. It gives you a direct look into the social life of the ancient city.
After that, you will stop at Pompey’s Pillar, one of the tallest ancient monuments still standing in Alexandria. The massive granite column rises above surrounding ruins and reflects the power of Roman presence in the city. It is also one of the best photo stops on the tour.
Library of Alexandria + St. Mark Church + El Nabi Daniel Mosque
Where Knowledge Meets Spiritual Heritage
During this part of your Alexandria Tour from Sokhna Port, you will visit the modern Library of Alexandria, a world-famous cultural landmark facing the Mediterranean Sea.
The building itself is an architectural masterpiece, and inside you will find museums, exhibition halls, manuscripts, and cultural collections that represent both ancient and modern knowledge.
Afterwards, the tour continues to St. Mark Church, the oldest church in Africa. The church offers a peaceful atmosphere and reflects the long history of Christianity in Egypt. Its simple design and spiritual environment make it a quiet and meaningful stop.
Then you will visit El Nabi Daniel Mosque, a site surrounded by historical stories and religious traditions linked to Prophet Daniel and other ancient figures. This location highlights the cultural diversity of Alexandria, where different beliefs and histories exist side by side.

After that, you will explore Montaza Gardens, a former royal complex surrounded by green landscapes and seaside views. It is one of the most peaceful places in Alexandria and offers a relaxing break in nature.
Finally, you will stop at Stanley Bridge, a modern landmark of the city. The bridge offers stunning sea views, especially during sunset, and serves as the perfect final stop before returning to Sokhna Port.
