A great day around Alexandria - Just what we wanted and needed. A day around Alexandria with guides who knew the places and whose company we enjoyed. The fort, the Coptic cathedral, the catacombs, the Roman Theatre, the library. Driven around in air conditioned comfort. And a chance to have a lunch like the locals with someone who knew where to go and what to order. Rasha and Kareem were excellent guides and companions. Highly recommended.

Culinary Alexandria - I had a wonderful time food touring Alexandria with Kareem ! Great sweets, tasty liver and chili sandwiches, falafel spiced coffee, and on and on. Kareem went out of his way to fulfil all of my wishes. Some seafood would have been the icing on the cake though :-) I would definitely come back any day !

So much great food - do not eat before you come on this tour!! - Karim was wonderful enough to accommodate my last minute food tour request and he showed me a side of Alexandria that was DELICIOUS. We began with a couple of small sandwiches – sausage and beef, liver, both of which were served on these tiny little torpedo, like bread rolls. Next we stopped at this delightfully charming family dessert spot for omwali, this incredible bread pudding like dessert served with a dollop of butter and honey. SO GOOD! An Alexandrian pizza served with this super thin dough with pastrami cheese and tomatoes was next. Then a sweet cake called harissa (not to be confused with the spice) which evoked memories of southern cornbread (but with just enough sweetness). And lastly bread stuffed with falafel and veggies and another pocket of bread with mashed beans. You need to be ready to walk a lot but Karim will make it a fun long walk (and you’ll get your steps in). Very recommended!

Enjoyable Alexandria city tour - Rasha is an excellent guide! She knows the city and history very well and gives thorough explanations of the sites. It's much more interesting to see the historic sites with the background explanations. We also stopped for a perfect sugar cane juice, which was perfect for the day. Happy to find her as a guide. Highly recommended!
