Disappointing, it was a fraud. Make my payment as agreed.
Sadly, they didn't show up at the agreed point, after 1 hour more than agreed, I decided to leave on my own.

Pyramid and Sphinx Cairo tour from Alexandria Port
I personally had a great experience. We did not get a chance to visit the Museum due to time constraint, but we had enough time to take pictures of the Pyramids and Sphinx. Gigi offered to give us free camel ride, but the weather was so hot so after taking pictures with the Sphinx, we just wanted to go back to the air-conditioned bus. She then took us to an aromatheraphy and healing oil shop where we sample different scents. They served us a cold hibuscus drink which was very refreshing. We had lunch at Nile Crystal restaurant. I find it weird that their lunch is our dinner time. The food is okay. We then head to the Khan Al-Kalili where I got all my souvenirs and gifts for family and friends. Mohamed and our bus driver made sure we got back to Alexandria Port safe. We got back at around 1am since our tour started late. If there was one thing that I would suggest for future tours is for Gigi to make sure everybody can hear her especially if we are getting off a stop and for Mohamed or the driver to follow up with the people in the bus if they really don’t want to get off. When we went to the oil shop, some people thought we were just going for a bathroom break so they did not get off. This is a small hitch, but overall the tour was great. Gigi was wonderful. She even got my aunt cold medicine at a local pharmacy. She takes great photos too and Mohamed made sure I get a copy.

A day in Cairo.
Hadeer was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable about Egyptian history. Thoroughly enjoyed it all. We felt very safe with her and the driver as we came from Alexandria to Cairo for the day.

The lady did not give us...
The lady did not give us an opportunity to experience the museums yet we went to stores where she could have made more commission for a couple of hours. We first got the bus and knew museums were closing at 4 and that should have been our first stop.

Good if on a small group
We were very late in leaving. We were waiting for our friends but were told they were still coming off the cruise ship. This wasn’t the case they were put on a different bus tour us and we didn’t see them all day. We were on a small bus which was great our friends got put on a big bus and their experience wasn’t good. Our itinerary was changed to meet our time restrictions at the pyramids but we still had ample time to do the camel rides, take heaps of photos. Our lunch was at 6pm so make sure you take snacks on the bus and it was very hot 46.5 degrees Celsius. Take heaps of water or you can buy there with cash. The camel ride is an extra USD 20. Our guide Rina was amazing, she was very informative and caring towards the needs of everyone on our bus.

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Day Tour to Cairo from Alexandria Port: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Alexandria.
How much does Day Tour to Cairo from Alexandria Port cost?
+
Prices start at $131 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Alexandria usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Day Tour to Cairo from Alexandria Port 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 Alexandria is not rushed.
Is Day Tour to Cairo from Alexandria Port worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Alexandria, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Day Tour to Cairo from Alexandria Port?
+
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 Day Tour to Cairo from Alexandria Port 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 Day Tour to Cairo from Alexandria Port?
+
Around 3 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 Alexandria 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 Alexandria and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day Tour to Cairo from Alexandria Port 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 Alexandria 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 Alexandria?
+
On Outty we rank every Alexandria experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half Day Giza Pyramids and Sphinx, Alexandria Full Day Tour, All inclusive private Giza pyramids,Sphinx & highlights of Cairo. 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 Alexandria?
+
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 Alexandria?
+
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.
