About this trip
A private, guided day trip out of Cairo that gets you to Alexandria and back without needing to stay over. It's door-to-door, so someone else handles the logistics while you take in the city's Mediterranean, layered history.
The pace is easy and the focus is on the well-known landmarks rather than deep exploration, making it a straightforward way to add Alexandria to a Cairo-based trip.
What you'll do
- Wander the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa
- Tour the Roman Amphitheatre
- Explore the Bibliotheca Alexandrina
- Photo stop at the Citadel of Qaitbay
- Photo stop at the Mosque of Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi
- Private and fully guided, with door-to-door pickup from Cairo
- A long day out and back — most of the day is the excursion itself
- Easy pace, suited to families or those wanting the highlights without a late night
Worth it if you want knowledgeable guides and authentic local food. Think twice if you're not keen on six hours of driving in one day.
- Guides consistently exceptional—Aalaa, Mariam, Ella all praised for detailed knowledge and genuine warmth.
- Restaurant experiences standout: fresh seafood and authentic Egyptian food, not tourist traps.
- Three-hour drive each way Cairo to Alexandria is a serious time commitment for one day.
- Meal costs extra; tour provides water and snacks but you'll pay separately for lunch.
