Alexandria

Founded by Alexander the Great, the city of Alexandria is one of the first and most important settlements in Egypt and in the ancient world. An iconic Mediterranean metropolis and Egypt’s second largest city, it attracts visitors of all kinds for its windswept climate and relaxed culture. Tarot Tours will give you an unprecedented taste of this coastal charm.

The temple Serapeum is one of several religious centers in Alexandria and perhaps the most notable for its beautiful location on the tip of the sea and as an important annex to the Bibliotheca Alexandrina. Built in 2002, this outstanding structure was built as a memorial for the Royal Library of Alexandria. A cultural hub where you can visit one of its many museums and art galleries. 

One of the city’s less-coveted but dazzling displays of history is its Royal Jewelry Museum. Formerly a palace to the Egyptian Royal family, it is now a restored home to some of the monarchy’s most decadent and timeless pieces, a breathtaking showcase. A true pillar of Alexandrian culture is the Montazah Palace Gardens. An outstandingly well-kept oasis of lush greenery and hundred-year-old trees, this building has historically been home to Egypt’s rulers since as early as the Muhammad Ali Dynasty.

For a true immersion into everyday Alexandrian life, take a stroll down the seaside promenade known as the Corniche and walk along the romantic Stanley Bridge, a hallmark of the city’s landscape. Enjoy any of the copious seafood restaurants, local specialty cuisine, and spectacular views.

A uniquely nostalgic city, reminiscent of older, simpler times, Alexandria’s many attractions are some of Tarot Tour’s most precious affairs.
