Detailed Tour Itinerary

Begin your Alexandria underwater adventure with pickup directly from your hotel lobby by our Ramasside representative and private driver.

Transfer to the professional dive center, where you will be outfitted with full, modern scuba diving gear and briefed by licensed diving instructors. Board the dive boat and head out into Alexandria’s historic Eastern Harbor.

Submerge into the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean to explore the fascinating seabed ruins of two world-renowned ancient sites:

1. The Ancient Pharos Lighthouse Ruins: Dive among the massive collapsed granite blocks, colossal columns, and statuary remnants of the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
2. Cleopatra’s Sunken Palace (Antirhodos Island): Explore the royal quarters, submerged sphinxes, paved courtyards, and classical columns from the Ptolemaic dynasty that slipped beneath the sea following ancient earthquakes and tidal waves.

Throughout the dive, certified instructors accompany you closely to ensure maximum safety while pointing out key archaeological artifacts and Mediterranean marine life. After a day of undersea exploration, board your private air-conditioned vehicle for a relaxing return transfer to your hotel in Alexandria.
