Overview

A full-day private tour from Cairo to Alexandria — 12 to 13 hours door to door, just your group, no strangers. Your driver picks you up from your Cairo or Giza hotel at 7:00–7:30am and drives to Alexandria (around 2.5–3 hours). Your licensed Egyptologist guide meets you there and leads you through the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, Pompey's Pillar, the Ancient Roman Amphitheater, Qaitbay Citadel, and Bibliotheca Alexandrina — all the major sites, with no rushed schedule.
