Amazing experience in Alexandria
Our tour of Alexandria with Momo Salah was a fantastic experience! We were only in the city for a day and had a pre-arranged tour that included Pompey's Pillar, Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa and Citadel of Qaitbay. We had an incredible experience in Alexandria and wish we could have spent more time exploring more of the city. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared his passion for the city and its historic sites that made the city one of our highlights during our time in Egypt. He was also kind enough to arrange a private boat tour of the bay area in the afternoon- something that was not part of our arranged tour - that was one of our most memorable experiences during our trip. While our time in Alexandria was brief, our experiences there made it an unforgettable experience and we are incredibly grateful to have had such a wonderful guide.

Excellent guide and ride from Cairo to Alexandria
Khalid was a gracious driver, picked us up at our hotel, on time, and took care of everything. And when we arrived in Alexandria, Momo took it from their and accommodated is every step of the way. He gave us well rounded tours of each location, then gave us plenty of time to wander about the sights by ourselves to enjoy as a couple. Admittedly, we were somewhat skittish due to the political events, but there was nothing to fear snd we would recommend anyone to come to Egypt and take this tour

Great tour program and excellent tour guide for visiting Alexandria!
This day tour was excellent! We booked this on Viator during our Egypt visit in February, 2026. The vendor sent a driver coming to pick us up at our hotel in downtown Cairo, and brought me and my wife up to Alexandria, and met with the local tour guide Ahmed (Mu-mu). Mu-mu was an excellent guide, who was knowledgeable, passionate, and very considerate to our tour interests. He accompanied us visited all the key tourist spots in Alexandria: Catacombs of Kom Shoqafa, Roman Amphitheater, and Qaitbay Citadel, as well as stopping by at the Pompey's Pillar and the Alexandria Library. We had a great time, and learned a lot about the history of Alexandria during the visit via Mu-mu's introductions. We also like the fact that Mu-mu asked us what's our main interests, and saved time for me to take photos, and not taking us to some markets or shops to hear sales pitches that we experienced on other local tours, which freed us from the sales pitch pressure we otherwise would have to endure. The driver was also excellent, who brought us bottled water and snack on the way, and even put on a window curtain on the car windows to shield sun light on my wife's face during a hot afternoon driving back to Cairo from Alexandria. Overall, this is the best local tour we had via the Viator booking, and I highly recommended Mu-mu and this local tour vendor to anyone who are in Cairo and considering going on a day-trip to Alexandria! Thank you Mu-mu and the team for an excellent tour of the wonderful city of Alexandria!

A day in Alexandria, Egypt
Starting with our ride from Cairo with Khalid, this was a delightful trip. The rest stop was timely and brief so we were able to meet with our guide “Mo,” in a timely fashion. Mo helped us to plan our day, then guided us through the Catacombs, the Roman Theater, and the Citadel. We were treated to a tasty meal of sea bass and rice at our restaurant by the Mediterranean Sea. I didn’t know much about Alexandria before this visit and am so glad we chose to take this tour! Even though we travelled in late March 2026, we felt safe and secure at all times! I would recommend this excursion to everyone!

Wonderful day in Alexandria!
The Travelish Tours package to Alexandria was a great experience. Their package (Catacombs, Amphitheatre, Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Jewellery Museum, Citadel) has something for everyone in the family. We got a very good car and an amazing driver. Beyond his superb driving skills, Yasir also spoke fluent English, was very knowledgeable about the fruits and vegetables grown enroute to Alexandria. We just did not feel the nearly 3 hour journey to be tedious. The main person who makes or breaks the package experience is the guide. And Norhan was really the best guide that we have met to date. She was very knowledgeable, highly enthusiastic and went a mile beyond to enhance our experience. She organised vegetarian food for us to be ready just as we reached the place. And despite the short working hours in Ramadan took us to the Royal Jewellery museum which is at a considerable distance because we were keen on it. And clicked a lot of our photos too! All in all - a great day in Alexandria with two wonderful people. Ask for them when you book with Travelish to make it a perfect package! Highly recommended.

Alexandria Day tour from Cairo-Must See attractions: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Alexandria Day tour from Cairo-Must See attractions cost?
+
Prices start at $78 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Giza 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 from Cairo-Must See attractions 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 Giza is not rushed.
Is Alexandria Day tour from Cairo-Must See attractions worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 120 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Giza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Alexandria Day tour from Cairo-Must See attractions?
+
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 from Cairo-Must See attractions 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 from Cairo-Must See attractions?
+
Around 42 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 Giza 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 Giza and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Alexandria Day tour from Cairo-Must See attractions 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 Giza 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 Giza?
+
On Outty we rank every Giza experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel, ATV Bike, Shopping & Dinner Cruise, ViP Private Tour Giza Pyramids,camel ride , inside 3rd Pyramid, Giza Pyramids VIP Private Tour ATV Camel Inside Pyramid & Lunch. 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 Giza?
+
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 Giza?
+
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.
