Wonderful Day Trip to Alexandria From Cairo

From Cairo, a full-day trip to Alexandria for sightseeing. Door-to-door service. The Catacombs, the Roman Amphitheater, Pompey’s Pillar, the fort of Qaytbey, and the mosque of Abulabaas are all included in the tour. The cost of admission and lunch are also included.

Our tour guide will pick you up in the early morning at 7:00, 7:30, or 8:00 a.m. (please note: pick up can be at any location address in Cairo or in Giza including all hotels). Our private air-conditioned vehicle will transport you to the start of our journey from Cairo to Alexandria via the desert road (220 km). Continue to the Catacombs to see three leveled tombs from Egypt’s Greek era.

Although the Catacombs are large enough to hold 2000 mummies, they were discovered empty in 1900! Proceed to Pompey’s pillar, which previously served as the tallest pillar in ancient Egypt, leading ships into the port. Our trips will continue to the fort of Qaytbey, where we will be able to see the fisherman and the Mediterranean. In a nearby restaurant, have a seafood lunch. Following lunch, we continue our travels to Abulabaas Mosque and finally the Alexandria Library (outside view). Return to Cairo by plane.

Alexandria! Wow!

November 7, 2024

Muhammad is the best! He showed me a world I never thought possible! The tombs in Alexandria by far was my favorite! I never knew there was a place on earth that contained both Greek and Egyptian carvings in the same tombs! The history and culture of Egypt is so fascinating! I highly recommend booking with Muhammad!

Despite a late start due to car trouble, Mohamed more than made up for it with his incredible knowledge and dedication. His explanations were detailed and thoughtful, and he went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. A memorable and informative tour, thanks to Mohamed’s hard work!

AMAZING TOUR, SOLO TRAVELER.

October 12, 2024

I am a California woman who traveled to Egypt alone and thanks to Egypt Fun Tours I had a great time. Hani, Mohammed, Kamal and David (my driver) were very professional and very knowledgeable, I appreciate how respectful they were and how protective they were with me.

They show me everything I wanted to see in Cairo and nearby places like Saqqara, Memphis, etc. Thanks to them I had a great time in Egypt, they were so so helpful than on my second day they helped me to move from my hotel in Giza to the Steigenberger hotel in downtown Cairo.

The tour price is super good includes a guide (expert in the field) a driver, lunch and drinks, they took me to amazing places for lunch, the food was super super delicious, for a foodie like me that was a highlight. We went out fo the tourist traps and I got to see the Cairo that if you are in a bus tour you will never get to see.

This tour is personalized for each person depending of what you want to see and do, I absolutely love it.

I used WhatsApp to communicate with Hani and arranged all my tours, Hani was super super nice since the moment I contacted him and explained him what I wanted to do and see.

Hani and his group mesmerized me with the tours they put together, this is a memory I will keep for lifetime.

I had only good things to say about them and I highly recommend them.

I did visit the pyramids in Giza, downtown Cairo, new Cairo, several museums, Coptic Cairo and Muslim Cairo with them and I learned a lot from them, I felt like they were family to me and it was EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT.

If I go back to Egypt I will hire them again without hesitation.

David I take my hat off for you because I have NO IDEA how you can drive in crazy Cairo, thanks to all of you for making this lady’s dream a reality.
