Watch your head as you descend into a network of underground passages, tombs, and antechambers via a spiral staircase over a three-level tombstone as well as a large Roman-style banquet room, where relatives of the deceased traditionally hosted memorial meals.

Not worth it but good people - The tour operators and conductors are great. , we just expected more from the tour itself. Comparing Alexandria tour with Luxor. Alexandria does does not have much to offer. Maybe it should not be a full day tour. The only sights are the remains of small greek buildings, so if you’ve been to Greece already you know what’s coming. They also took us to the modern Alexandria library which was mostly closed off and was of course not a historical sight. Alexandria is a nice Mediterranean city and if you go there maybe it would be better to swim, go on a boat or stroll through downtown.
