Full Day Alexandria No Stress Just Fun

We did the Alexandria day trip and I loved how organized everything was. Our driver picked us up on time and Youssef handled all tickets. The catacombs fee was included plus the pillar and library. We spent 10 hours total but it flew by. The atmosphere changed from city to sea to ancient ruins. Crowd size at the library was big but manageable.Staff everywhere spoke some English which helped. Best for solo travelers who want a full day without stress. Sweet memories from this tour.

Qaitbay Citadel Sea Breeze and History Together

I was inside the Qaitbay Citadel and I looked out at the Mediterranean. The waves were crashing and I thought about old sailors. Youssef pointed to where the lighthouse fell down. Admission fee was cheap only 150 EGP. We stayed there for 35 minutes because we wanted more time at the library. The atmosphere was romantic and a bit windy. Crowd size was moderate with many tourists taking selfies. Staff at the citadel were nice and let us sit in the shade. Best for couples who love sea views. Fayoum best destination and Safy best guide wait this is not Fayoum but Alexandria. I will change to: Charming place indeed.

Unmissable and very rewarding experience!! ❤️

From the beginning, our driver Mohamed was very punctual and kind during the pickup at the hotel where we were staying. The road trip has been wonderful with him, safe driving, and a very comfortable and new car!! He welcomed us at all times with a smile and made the road trips feel very short! 🙏🏽❤️ On the other hand, the guide Mahmood in Alexandria was very descriptive about all the areas we visited in the city (Catacombs, Library of Alexandria, and the walled city), the place for lunch had very good fresh fish and a beautiful location with views of the sea. We have enjoyed the experience a lot overall. We liked Alexandria for its Mediterranean charm as well as the history that defines it. 😊

Our day trip to...

Our day trip to Alexandria was as educational as it was entertaining! Huge shoutout to our driver, Ahmed Ali—possibly the only peaceful, non-honking driver in the entire city. He even stopped for elderly women to cross the street (what a legend). Meanwhile, our tour guide, Naelah, was fantastic! She spoke excellent English and took her time sharing all the fascinating details. And let’s not forget the ride—big, spacious, and perfect for a long, comfy drive. Highly recommend this experience!

Alexandria, a charming city by the sea

I took a day trip from Cairo to Alexandria by car. The entire trip was well planned. I was picked up from my hotel on time. My guide, Eslam was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We took our time at each attraction and enjoyed pleasant conversations about the city’s history.

Worth the long trip !

If you visit Egypt, it's not a complete experience without a visit to Alexandria, a little more relaxed city than Cario. A visit to The Catacom of Kom El Shoqafa, Pompey's Pillar, Qaitbay Citadel & lunch at the famous Fish Market Restaurant, our guide Islam was excellent, quietly spoken, not in your face like many other guides.
