Alexandria day private tour from Cairo Giza hotel

The Alexandria Library was Amazing. They were so many beautiful pieces and pictures that you could not take pictures of them. The Citadel castle was interesting also. Tamar, my driver was very good.He got me to Alexandria and back to hotel safely. Shema, my tour guide was very knowledgeable about all of the places I visited.

Fun and educational-filled full day that gives you an insight into the essence of Alexandria's middle ages history in a single-day. Leaving Cairo at 07h00 and back by 18h00, it is not a jolly, but a full-on history excursion, but very satisfying! Our guide, Ehab, with an archeology degree and a polyglot (converses in most tourist languages), is a passionate historian, very agreeable and was always eager to tend to our every curiosity. After a comfortable 2.5 - 3.0 hour drive, we toured the 2nd century catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, the Citadel of Qaitbay and the Great Library of Alexandria (very briefly), passing by Pompey's Pillar for Roman Emperor Diocletian, one of the largest monolithic pillars ever built at 27m and the Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi Mosque (Covid restrictions prevented visitors entering), housing the tomb of a 13th century Murcian Andalusi Sufi saint. There is the option to have seafood luncheon overlooking the Mediterranean, but we simply ran out of time. In hindsight we should have focused on fewer sites, (perhaps skipped Qaitbay and visit the Cairo Citadel on another day instead).

we had a great tour to Alexandria from Cairo by van , our guide Yousef gave us good and usual info about the history of ALEXADRIA , WE asked them to have lunch at fish Market as very recommended with nice view of the sea ,we highly recommended this trip with those guys
