Full Day Private Guided Tour in Alexandria from Cairo
Description
Here's your best chance to see the best heritage of Egypt and learn how the Egyptians make history. Take a fantastic tour to the most attractive city in the entire country. It's little wonder it's called the "Pearl of the Mediterranean". Egypt is not just the Pyramids. Your visit to Egypt is never complete unless you see Alexandria and I am not one of those boring guides only specialized in one section of the Egyptian civilization but, because of my study and my work as an Egyptologist for more than 14 years, our tour today will be different and you will enjoy the Egyptian Graco Roman civilization by visiting Catacombs, Pompey's Pillar, the library of Alexandria and the Fort of Qayetbay.
