Before this trip, I didn’t think Alexandria could compete with Cairo’s grandeur. But I was pleasantly surprised. The day started smoothly—our driver was punctual, polite, and the car was perfectly air-conditioned. As we entered the catacombs, I was struck by how mysterious and peaceful they were. The guide’s calm explanations helped us appreciate the deep history without being overwhelmed. The visit to the Bibliotheca Alexandrina made me feel reflective. It’s more than a library; it’s a cultural symbol. Lunch was casual but satisfying. Our guide gave us time to relax and really soak in the views of the harbor. I appreciated how they didn’t rush us and treated us with real care. We felt like welcomed guests. This tour reminded me that not all historical trips need to feel formal or academic—this was light, meaningful, and well-paced. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a softer, more thoughtful travel day.
