Alexandria day trip from Cairo - Mohammad was a great guide, funny, with lots of interesting stories. He was very patient with the group and we really enjoyed our time with him. Alexandria is a great city and I would definitely recommend this tour, especially Catacombs.

Exploring Alexandria with Noor and Essam – A Tour to Remember - We had an absolutely amazing experience on our tour in Alexandria! Our tour guide, Noor, was exceptional. Her knowledge of Egyptian history was impressive, but what made her stand out was the passion and warmth with which she shared it. She was always patient, friendly, and happy to answer all our questions, making us feel comfortable and engaged throughout the entire experience. A big thank you also to our driver, Essam, who was professional, kind, and made us feel completely safe at all times. Navigating through busy streets and long distances with such calmness and reliability is not an easy task, and he did it perfectly. His positive attitude and smile added even more to the overall experience. It was truly an experience of a lifetime, and we are incredibly grateful to Noor and Essam for making it so special!

Half day in Alexandria. - Had a charming morning/afternoon exploring Alexandria. We went to the Citadel, the Kom el Shoqafa and the Roman amphitheater (since the bibliotheca is closed on Fridays). The tour guide Nihad Hassan was very nice and knowledgeable, told me about history, answered my questions and was accommodating in every way! We also took a boat ride around the citadel. Of course, I would loved to stay at the beach in Alexandria a bit longer to enjoy the marvelous view of the sea, but it’s Ramadan, everyone wants to get done early;)

Catacombs - It was a long day, 0630 start as it was 3 hours drive. The driver was great and did a coffee stop. Of the many stops, i enjoyed the catacombs most. I would have loved to go to the jewellery museum as well. It was jam packed and the guide was knowlegable. Lunch was late so have a hearty breakfast.
