On this tour, we descend beneath the surface literally and historically. Inside the Catacombs, discover a hidden world where Egyptian, Greek, and Roman traditions blend. Above ground at the Serapeum, explore the rise of the god Serapis and what it reveals about Alexandria’s identity. The two sites are just 600 meters apart, a 7-minute walk, making for a smooth and immersive experience.
