Amazing Alexandria day tour - Our day in Alexandria with Ayat was incredible. She was the non-stop adventure leader who made every moment count. From the very beginning, her energy set the tone for a day full of discovery, culture, and fun.
We explored all the well-known highlights, including the site of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Library of Alexandria, and even the house of the great Greek poet Cavafy.
On top of that, we visited fascinating catacombs, Roman monuments, and several lesser-known, hidden gems that we would have never discovered on our own. What stood out most was how effortlessly Ayat guided us through such a full and diverse tour, always with enthusiasm and a genuine desire to give us the best possible experience. She managed to turn a really packed schedule into something exciting rather than tiring.
To top it all off, her recommendations at the end of the day were simply perfect, we enjoyed some of the most amazing seafood at beautiful seaside restaurant by the Alexandria beachside sunset.
Thanks to Ayat, this wasn’t just sightseeing, it was a complete experience. Highly recommended!
