Our Alexandria day trip was really fun and well organized. We visited the fort on the Mediterranean Sea, the Library of Alexandria, and the catacombs — all fascinating stops. The food was great, and the commute was very comfortable in a private car. A lovely way to explore the city in a day.

Sofy Egypt Tours organized a wonderful tour of the city of Alexandria. Our driver, Mr. Hisham, was excellent, and our guide, Manal, was extremely knowledgeable and helped us navigate through this ancient city with ease.

Our trip to Alexandria started early and we were able to see as much as we could. We visited all the important places. Hader was great! Sofy Egypt tours had everything planned out for us. The Alexandrian library was a unique experience and as a Greek I enjoyed it immensely!
