In the words of a recent traveler, “Afternoon trip - Alban serwiza was closed so we went to another place and then visited a famous mosque. I particularly liked the desert call omali. We then went for a little boat ride and finished in the Greek Club restaurant. We were very happy with our driver who spoke very good English and made conversation with us throughout the trip regarding the history of Alexandria.” (Reviewed at: 2025-01-08)
