Wonderful trip to Alexandria - We had an amazing trip to Alexandria with our guide Dalia. She is a passionate and proud Egyptian who is well versed with its rich history. This was our second trip with Sun Pyramids. We had a delightful, comfortable and professional experience with them. Highly recommend their services as they go out of their way to make your experience most wonderful. Cheers

Sea, desert, and city in one spectacular day trip - This was a great trip with stops at the Citadel, Catacombs, Pompey's pillar and the WW2 museum at El- Alamein and the Allies War Cemetery. Our guide Mohab was so excited to tell us about each site. The Citadel was worth the trip in and of itself with a beautiful view of the Mediterranean Sea while having lunch. We ended a great day by getting to the WW2 museum at El- Alamein and it is one of the best War museums I have been to anywhere in the World. The Allies cemetery was just so beautiful and moving after a day spent with Mohab learning about the history of Egypt and experiencing the most spectacular driving skills in Alexandria by our driver, Bird. Kudos to Mahmoud for logistically setting up the whole trip. This is a great day trip that should not be missed. Alexandria has its own charm with real grit while overlooking a spectacular Sea. The Museum has some of the most beautiful plaques, comprehensive maps and tons of military equipment. Highly recommend this trip and these guides.

Alexandria - It was a good 1 day tour to go to Alexandria.
My guide Ahmed Kamel is good for Egyptian history.
We couldn’t go to Alexandria Library, but he immediately found another historical spot.
Alexandria is not so far from Cairo, If you have a time, I recommend you go there.

Alamein war museum, war memorial cemetery and Alexandria - Although our trip started with a very long delay due to the road been closed because of fog, I’m giving the rating for the trip not on the delay which was beyond their control. Our guide Medhat was very knowledgeable and entertaining he even bought cakes and played happy birthday for us in the car which was a lovely thought. Mhmud our driver was excellent at manoeuvring around the extremely busy hectic traffic and after being on the trip for 16.5hrs he was still alert and we felt safe at all times.

Great jam-packed tour! - Medhad, our guide was fantastic! Was so welcoming to our family and we felt so comfortable with him. All of the locations we visited were so interesting and Medhad provided great information. We absolutely loved the El Alamein and the war memorial as our grandfather was in the battlefront there. The catacombs and citadel were very interesting. Also delicious fresh seafood lunch!! Mohammad, our driver, was also great, we felt so safe in his care. Thank you so much for a great trip!!

Excellent El Alamein and Amazing Alexandra - An amazing day with Mohammed Makawy and Hesham. They picked us up at our hotel and drove to El Alamein. We saw the museum and the commonwealth cemetery where we were able to pay our respects to the soldiers. We then drove to Alexandria and saw the Catacombs, Pompey's Pillar, and the Citadel. We then stopped for a late lunch which was delicious! Great vegetarian option. Highly recommend this tour.

A very nice visit - In our way to Alexandria, we stopped and visited El Alamein War Museum. It’s a short stop at the El Alamain Military Museum which commemorates El -Alamain Battle and the Battles of Africa, before we headed over to Alexandria. It includes real items used by the two famous commanders Montgomery and Rommel! Feel like I had a good lecture on the North Africa Campaign of the WW II. Nearby, there is the Commonwealth Cemetery for those who lost their lives in the battles. Most of them are British and the Allied soldiers. Their remains lie still in the Egypt desert.
Read so much about that campaign but it’s an overwhelming experience to face to face at the location. If you like that period of history, it’d be a nice visit.
Alexandria is a coast town. Roman Catacombs, Roman Amphitheater and a couple of museums were nice to visit!
