A highlight of our time in Egypt
We had a wonderful day in Alexandria with our guide Mohamed Gaber. We are two young female travellers, and we felt very safe and well looked after everywhere we went. Mohamed went above and beyond what we expected, ensuring we saw what we wanted to see and learnt what we wanted to know about. I could not recommend this trip more highly. Sometimes poor weather can delay travel to Alexandria, but the wait in traffic was well worth our experience.

Greco Roman Egypt
The guide is good, honestly spent the day with us from dawn to dusk, took his time, showed and told us many interesting things. Egypt in Alexandria opened up from the unexpected side. Not only was lunch not included in the description, we paid £1,100 for it for two and it didn't taste good.

Heba was our guide on our trip to Alexandria today. She made it and amazing experience for us and made sure everything was the way we wanted! We visited the Alexandria library and the citadel during which she made sure we got all the important information!

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Alexandria Day tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Alexandria Day tour cost?
+
Prices start at $75 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Alexandria Day tour take?
+
Plan for about 12 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cairo is not rushed.
Is Alexandria Day tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Alexandria Day tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Alexandria Day tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Alexandria Day tour?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cairo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cairo and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Alexandria Day tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cairo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cairo?
+
On Outty we rank every Cairo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-in-One Giza Tour, inside Pyramid, sphinx, Camel ride & lunch, VIP Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx Tour –Inside the Pyramids&More, Best of Cairo Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Museum Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cairo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cairo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Alexandria Day tour?
+
Included: Transfers from your hotel by air-condition; • Local lunch; and • Expert tour guide. Not included: Tipping; personal expenses; and • Entrance tickets. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Alexandria Day tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 60 listed pickup locations in and around Cairo. Be ready about 720 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Alexandria Day tour offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Alexandria Day tour?
+

+
