The Bibliotheca Alexandria, also known as the Library of Alexandria, stands as a modern architectural marvel, paying tribute to the ancient Library of Alexandria, a renowned repository of knowledge in the ancient world. Exploring the boundless collection of books and manuscripts, alongside the impressive cultural hub and museums within the library, transports visitors to a realm of wonder. Onwards, a visit to the Montazah Palace and gardens offers a tranquil haven of verdant foliage and captivating architecture. Once a retreat for Egyptian royalty, the opulent palace offers a glimpse into a bygone era of lavishness. Adjacent to the palace, the picturesque gardens provide a serene escape from the bustle of the city, with breathtaking landscapes and vistas of the sea, ideal for a leisurely amble. All in all, a tour of these two celebrated landmarks fuses history, culture, and natural splendor, encapsulating the essence of Egypt.
At the designated time of 09:00, your personal tour guide and chauffeur will pick you up from your lodging in Alexandria. The inaugural stop on your itinerary will be the renowned and prestigious Bibliotheca Alexandria. Acquaint yourself with the massive library and browse through the general museums during an exclusive tour tailored to your interests.
You will then proceed at 11:30 to your next destination – the picturesque Montazah Palace gardens. A brief pause will be taken at the front of the grand palace, allowing you time to amble and capture photos of the magnificent architecture (as the interior is off-limits to visitors). Following that, wander through the tranquil gardens at your leisure, capturing stunning photographs or indulging in a refreshing dip at one of the serene beaches.
Your excursion will culminate at 13:30 as you are chauffeured back to your accommodation, filled with unforgettable memories and breathtaking images of this exquisite adventure.
