    best experience of my life.

    This is the best option for an instruction and genuinely private tour of the Giza Pyramids. With entrance costs, pick-up and drop-off included, as well as a surprisingly tasty lunch, it offers excellent value. Muhammad, our tour guide, made sure we were comfortable and safe. He was very kind and informed. We had a fun camel ride and saw some amazing vistas of the Memphis open-air museum, the Giza pyramids, tomb complexes, and Saqqara's step pyramid. A highlight was the lunch, which included some of the greatest grilled chicken around

    Loved It!

    I had the pleasure of experiencing a trip to Egypt with Travel2egypt last week I stayed for 10 days and went on various tours and a lovely cruise. I have to say I have never experienced a trip as great and so professionally organized as this one. The guide who I first met had very positive energy and spirits. He was extremely helpful and made me feel so welcome. He was just one of many lovely guides just like him I encountered on my trip. I walked away from each experience with more insight than before. Egypt was extremely safe and people there are so friendly. The views are spectacular and I was fascinated the entire time. I will definitely be repeating this trip. Lovely stay. Thank you!

    Egyptian Museum & Old Coptic Cairo Day Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Alexandria.

    How much does Egyptian Museum & Old Coptic Cairo Day Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $65 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 Egyptian Museum & Old Coptic Cairo Day Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Egyptian Museum & Old Coptic Cairo Day Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Egyptian Museum & Old Coptic Cairo 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 Egyptian Museum & Old Coptic Cairo Day Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Egyptian Museum & Old Coptic Cairo Day Tour?

    +

    Around 2 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Egyptian Museum & Old Coptic Cairo 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 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 Alexandria Full Day Tour, Alexandria Full Day Trip, 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.
