Even if you have only limited time in Egypt, you can still experience the historic Mediterranean city of Alexandria without having to spend the night. This private tour from Cairo takes you to all of Alexandria's most-important attractions, including the catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, Bibioteca Alexandrina, and the Citadel of Qaitbay, and gets you back in Cairo by nighttime.

Stop At: Pompey's Pillar

The only single column marks the site of what was once a huge and elaborate temple, which was constructed of marble and decorated with precious metals on the interior. Some of the tunnels around the complex remain and are open for tourists to explore and some of the artifacts from the temple have been recovered. A life-size black basalt bull from the temple and a golden plaque marking the foundation of the Serapis are on display in the Greco-Roman Museum.

Qaitbay Citadel :Sultan Qaitbey built this picturesque fortress during the 14th century to defend Alexandria from the advances of the Ottoman Empire. His efforts were in vain since the Ottomans took control of Egypt in 1512, but the fortress has remained, strategically located on a thin arm of land that extends out into Alexandria’s harbor from the corniche.

11:30 AM

Stop At: Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa

The Arabic name translates to English as “the mound of potshards”, referring to the broken dishes and plates that marked the area before the tombs were discovered below. This extensive complex of impressively decorated tombs dates from the Roman Era and are considered as one of the “Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages.

12:30 PM

Stop At: Bibliotheca Alexandrina

Standing on the Alexandrian Corniche, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina is a vast and striking example of modern 21st century architecture, but the building recalls something much older. The library and cultural center were inaugurated in 2002 as part of a huge project to commemorate the city of Alexandria’s legacy as an ancient center of world learning and culture.

Reviews

Do not recommend Ali or his team- except his drivers

Absolutely terrible experience and a complete waste of money. I initially booked four days of activities but cut it down to three after discovering all the hidden surcharges Ali tacks onto everything. Even something as simple as dinner reservations ended up being overpriced because Ali adds extra fees — do yourself a favor and book meals and shows independently. The tours themselves were a disaster: rushed, sloppy, and totally unorganized. Despite making it clear I wanted to visit more than one mosque and the Grand Egyptian Museum, our guide Abla hurried us through a single mosque and didn’t even bother taking us to the museum — so we had to go there on our own time. At Khan Khalili, our guide literally told us "don’t stop and shop." What’s the point of going to a famous bazaar if you can’t even browse? Every stop felt rushed, and anytime we paused to enjoy a sight, we were told to keep moving. To make matters worse, they took us to certain shops — whether these were genuinely good or just places where the company gets a kickback, who knows, but it definitely felt like the latter. And the worst part: a total language barrier and incompetence led to a major screw-up. My “final booking and offering” clearly included snorkeling at the Red Sea, and that’s what I paid for. Instead, Ali just sent a driver to drop us at the Red Sea with no snorkeling booked at all. We wasted an entire day and seven hours of driving for nothing. Ali kept sending me old screenshots of me asking how much the trip would cost without snorkeling — ignoring the fact that my confirmed booking did include snorkeling. He tried to make it better by paying for a 2 hour boat ride but that’s not what I originally paid for or wanted. Completely unacceptable. Bottom line: overpriced, rushed, disorganized, and shady. I absolutely do not recommend Ali or his team to anyone thinking about booking tours in Egypt. Save your time, money, and sanity. Ask your hotel for more certified guides

Dear Wafaa, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While I’m sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, I would like to clarify some important details for future travelers reading this. First, it’s important to note that you are a resident Arabic-speaking customer, and as per Egyptian tourism regulations, there is a difference in ticket prices and package structures between Egyptian/Arab residents and foreign tourists. This is determined by the state, not by us. For example, a Giza Pyramids entry ticket costs around 60 EGP (~$1) for residents, while it costs 750 EGP (~$15) for foreigners. Regarding the Red Sea snorkeling, this activity is not available in Ain Sokhna. It is offered in places like Hurghada, Alexandria, and Sharm El Sheikh. When you asked about snorkeling and I suggested Alexandria, you mentioned you had already been there. Based on that, the plan was adjusted to a beach day in Ain Sokhna with resort access and seafood lunch. To compensate for any misunderstanding, I personally paid 2,500 EGP (~$50) to provide you and your family with a 2-hour submarine boat trip in Ain Sokhna — at no extra charge to you. This was a gesture of goodwill, not included in the original itinerary. As for the Nile Dinner Cruise, you requested a cancellation on June 24th, and even though the platform policy does not allow refunds at that stage, I went out of my way to refund you the full $80 from my personal funds to ensure your satisfaction. You also chose a 10:00 AM pickup time, although the standard starting time for full-day tours is 8:00 AM. Despite this, we covered the Egyptian Museum, Citadel, and Coptic Cairo, which was the agreed-upon plan. The Grand Egyptian Museum is not open yet to the general public — the official opening is still pending. In conclusion, I truly did my best to accommodate your changing requests, even covering additional costs myself to ensure your comfort and happiness.

Abla Saif - Expert Egyptologist and Photographer – Highly Recommended!

Short version: We had a fantastic day with Abla Saif! She's not only a certified Egyptologist with 19 years of experience, but also a talented photographer and has a great sense of humor. Everything was perfectly organized, even though we booked last minute. Visiting the pyramids and the Sphinx was made even more special thanks to her stories and the stunning photos she took of us. Highly recommended! For more details, see the full review below. 
We booked a last-minute tour with Abla Saif, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of our trip. Abla is a certified Egyptologist with 19 years of experience, but she's also an excellent photographer and a truly charming person with a great sense of humor. From the first contact via WhatsApp, we received clear information and quick responses. On the day of the tour, Abla and her regular driver (who stayed with us the entire day) were waiting for us at our hotel right on time. We started with a quick stop at a local clothing shop. While the staff naturally hopes you’ll buy something, there's absolutely no pressure. Then came the highlight: the pyramids and the Sphinx. Already an awe-inspiring sight, but made even more memorable by Abla’s insights and photography. She knew exactly where to stand for the perfect shots, and her explanations were rich in detail, going beyond the standard tourist information. Afterwards, we also visited a spice shop, a perfume store, and a souvenir shop — all local and authentic, and a nice way to wrap up the day. In short: if you're looking for a personal, professional, and fun guide experience in Egypt, Abla Saif is the one to book. We would choose her again without hesitation!

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and detailed review! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you and being part of your journey through Egypt. I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience — from the history and stories to the photography and organization. Your words mean a lot to me and motivate me to keep doing what I love: sharing the wonders of Egypt in a personal and meaningful way. I’m especially glad you felt comfortable and well taken care of, even with the last-minute booking. I hope to welcome you again in the future for more adventures and unforgettable moments. Until then, I’m sending you my warmest regards and best wishes!
