Mohammad and driver Ibrahim collected us from our hotel in Giza at 7am. Mohammad gave us history lessons, not just of Alexandria, but of ancient Egypt as well. He was informative, knowledgeable and verb interesting. He’d give us little pop quizzes along the way, which were fun. We went to many interesting sites and learnt much of the history of Alexandria. I would throughly recommend this tour.
