Great - Okay, here's a review: Alexandria, a city steeped in history and brimming with vibrant culture, offers a captivating experience for every traveler. From the moment you arrive, you're enveloped in a unique atmosphere, a blend of ancient wonders and modern charm. The city's rich past, once a beacon of knowledge and power, is palpable in its iconic landmarks and hidden gems. The Corniche, a scenic waterfront promenade, provides stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. Walking along it, you'll feel the gentle sea breeze while taking in the beautiful architecture. The Library of Alexandria, a modern marvel, stands as a testament to the city's commitment to learning and intellectual pursuit. Exploring its vast collection of books and manuscripts is an enriching experience. Beyond the well-known sites, Alexandria's true charm lies in its local life. The bustling markets, filled with exotic spices, fresh produce, and handcrafted goods, offer a sensory feast. The warm hospitality of the locals, their stories, and their delicious cuisine create a memorable experience. Alexandria is a city that stays with you long after you leave, a place where history and modernity meet.

An Amazing Day - An amazing day. We went on a holiday so there was no traffic. We got to see the Catacombs and the Temple of God Serpis, and the mosque and the Library. We also saw the castle from a distance. Finally we had an amazing fish lunch over the Mediterranean.

Great trip to Alexandria - Our tour was perfect, exactly what we wanted and as advertised. Ehab was our guide who was knowledgable about the Egyptian and Alexandrian history, withstanded our bombarding questions. He also took great pictures of us throughout the tour and has always made it clear that we can do whatever we want. Ahmed was our driver, who was very friendly and punctual, safely navigated us between Cairo and Alexandria, which is no small feat.

Stay longer for more Immersive experience - I took a day trip from Cairo to Alexandria. My driver was prompt and friendly and even stopped for refreshments along the way. The trip is 2 hours each way. The tour included the Catacombs, the new library in Alexandria, one of the oldest Islamic Mosques, and a view of the castle and lighthouse from the show. I only wish I could have stayed longer. Most sites close at 2. For a more immersive experience plan to stay overnight. My tour guide San was friendly and knowledgeable. It was a good tour overall.
