Great choice for a day trip. It takes about 2.5 hours drive to get to Alexandria and the city definitely worth a visit! We visited the catacombs, Pompey's pillar, the fort by the sea and we had an amazing local lunch at the beach. Hala, our guide, did an amazing job!

The Egypt Royal Tour driver collected us (Myself, wife and son) from our hotel in Cairo before the sun had crested the pyramids. It was an early start but I was excited as much for the journey as for visiting Alexandria. The journey through the North Egyptian landscape revealed much about the country, passing farms, sugar processing chimneys and many many homes with pigeon towers on their sides. (Who knew pigeon was such a delicacy here... A preferred dish to be served to the Bride and Bridegroom after a wedding).
In Alexandra we collected Abdul our guide. An Alexandra native he was able to answer all our questions and give a real flavour of the city.
Alexandra is a working city so while you will find beauty when you look for it, (Or when it's pointed out) it is here you will get a real insight into the hard working soul of this country. Driving down the street of mechanics with half cars out front. Down the central square where couples take walks together. The beech where Abdul tells us Alexandrian families flock to in the summer after work for a boat rides to cool off.
We visited the Tombs, the Citadel, Pompey's Pillar (Which has the original small library where scrolls were stored in stone shelves) and the new Library.
We had a culinary highlight in Alexandra too. Abdul arranged the best table for us at the cities best fish restaurant. It's was Ramadan and he was fasting so unfortunately couldn't join us. The view of the Bay of Alexandra was amazing. The fish was AMAZING.
A great tour if you want to see bit deeper into this wonderful countries soul.
Thank you Sugar Queen Hala from Egypt Royal Tours for arranging.
