Detailed Itinerary

Evening Meeting & The Secrets of Qaitbay Citadel

Meet your specialized Ramasside Tours storyteller-guide directly outside the monumental gates of the Citadel of Qaitbay at 5:00 PM. Built on the submerged remnants of the legendary Pharos Lighthouse—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World—this 15th-century fortress has long been cloaked in intrigue. Listen to stories of turbulent eras, naval sieges, sunken catacombs, and phantom folklore connected to old coastal residences nearby.

Montaza Palace Grounds by Night

Travel in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle to the tranquil evergreen grounds of Montaza Palace. Once a secluded royal retreat, these sprawling coastal gardens reveal a mysterious aura after dark. Stroll through pine-lined walkways as your guide recounts royal secrets, palace intrigues, and eerie sightings whispered by locals across the royal estate.

Old Town Labyrinths & Haunted Quarters

Continue your walking exploration through the labyrinthine alleys of Alexandria’s historic Old Town. Venture through shadowed corridors and traditional quarters that standard daytime tours overlook. Visit landmarks tied to macabre urban legends, notorious historical events, and supernatural folklore passed down through generations.
