Overview

Alexandria, often called the Bride of the Mediterranean, is a coastal city where ancient history, Greco‑Roman heritage and the sea meet. On this private day tour from Cairo you’ll visit some of the city’s most famous sites, including the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, the modern Library of Alexandria and the Citadel of Qaitbay overlooking the Mediterranean. Along the way you’ll enjoy coastal views and a sense of how different periods of civilisation have shaped the city. The tour is private and led by a professional Egyptologist guide, so you’ll have a personalised commentary as you move through centuries of history. You’ll walk beneath the catacombs, learn about the library’s modern revival, and take in the citadel’s views over the water. The experience aims to combine ancient heritage, Greco‑Roman influences and local culture in a comfortable, luxury private tour format, allowing you to explore Alexandria’s highlights and its unique Mediterranean charm at your own pace.
