Amazing 1 day trip to Alexandria with Samira
We went on a one day tour to Alexandria from Cairo with the company EMO. Our driver Ahmed was a very good driver and our tour guide Samira was simply fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and gave us plenty of informations in a perfect English about all the great sights we visited. Our stop for lunch was amazing. A day to remember for a long time

Alexandria tour
The tour was nice, we started a bit later than expected and that made us rush a bit on the activities in Alexandria, our tour guide and driver were nice and made sure we had a nice experience. We would have like to have more time to enter the citadel and the Roman amphitheater, but we saw it from the outside and was super nice. Also, the selection of spots were amazing! We had enough time to explore and enjoy each spot, while not feeling like we were at stand stills. All in all a very nice experience!

Amzaing Tour with the best guide Ayoub
We had Ayoub as a tour guide. He showed and the new Egyptian museum with the mummies, the pyramids and the production of papyrus. He shows us the best photo spots and took great and funny photos with us. He told us a lot about Egyptian history. All of our questions were answered. We have been to Cairo twice but we have never had such a great guide. I can heartily recommend Ayoub from Ramasside Tours

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Cairo: Full Day Guided Trip to Alexandria: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does From Cairo: Full Day Guided Trip to Alexandria cost?
+
Prices start at $90 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 From Cairo: Full Day Guided Trip to Alexandria take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 From Cairo: Full Day Guided Trip to Alexandria worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 9 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 From Cairo: Full Day Guided Trip to Alexandria?
+
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 From Cairo: Full Day Guided Trip to Alexandria suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Cairo: Full Day Guided Trip to Alexandria?
+
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 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Cairo: Full Day Guided Trip to Alexandria 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.
