Visit the Montazah Summer Palace, walk around, and enjoy the Montazah gardens, which was the summer home of the Egyptian Royal family. Lunch is going to be at a popular seafood district en route to your next destination. Following lunch you will visit the fort and Citadel of Qaitbay, which is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Nearby is a small naval museum, which was mostly devoted to Nelson's defeat of Napoleon's fleet right off the coast of Alexandria on August 1-2, 1798. Next is a visit to Bombay's Pillar which was built in 297 AD for the Roman Emperor Diocletian. The Pillar itself is a 9 meters / 29 feet in circumference. Finally, the day ends with a visit to the Catacomb of Komel-Shokafa. These tombs were tunneled into the bedrock in the age of the Antonine emperors (2nd century AD) for a single wealthy family still practicing the ancient religion. These tombs represent the last existing major construction for the sake of the old Egyptian religion.
