Citadel of Qaitbay
Sultan Abu Al-Nasr Sayf ad-Din Al-Ashraf Qaitbay (Arabic: السلطان أبو النصر سيف الدين الأشرف قايتباي) (c. 1416/1418 – 7 August 1496) was the eighteenth Burji Mamluk Sultan of Egypt from 872-901 A.H. (1468-1496 C.E.). (Other transliterations of his name include Qaytbay and Kait Bey.) He was Circassian by birth, and was purchased by the ninth sultan Barsbay (1422 to 1438 C.E.) before being freed by the eleventh Sultan Jaqmaq (1438 to 1453 C.E.). During his reign, he stabilized the Mamluk state and economy, consolidated the northern boundaries of the Sultanate with the Ottoman Empire, engaged in trade with other contemporaneous polities, and emerged as a great patron of art and architecture. In fact, although Qaitbay fought sixteen military campaigns, he is best remembered for the spectacular building projects that he sponsored, leaving his mark as an architectural patron on Mecca, Medina, Jerusalem, Damascus, Aleppo, Alexandria, and every quarter of Cairo.

Unforgettable Experiences with Mak!
I joined the Day Tour: The Civilization Museum and Coptic Area with Citadel and also the Full Day Greek Alexandria Tour with Mak. Both experiences were fantastic. Mak is knowledgeable, friendly, and made the history come alive. Highly recommend booking with him!

Amazing Tour with a Great Guide
I had an amazing day exploring Alexandria, and a huge part of that was thanks to my guide, Mohamed Komaty. He is truly one of the best guides I have ever met. Mohamed is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about what he does. He explained the history and culture of Alexandria in a very engaging way and made every moment memorable. What I loved most is how he made the tour both fun and enjoyable—he has a great sense of humor and keeps the experience lively from start to finish. I felt very comfortable throughout the day, and his professionalism and hospitality really stood out. If you’re visiting Alexandria, I highly recommend requesting Mohamed as your guide. He made my trip unforgettable!
Response from the operator: Thanks Nile partner 🫡😉

An unforgettable day in Alexandria
A great day with our guide Mohamed A. Komaty. He was always very attentive and kept sharing his knowledge with us, from the moment we left our hotel in Giza. The way he thought out the tour was very good and we were made to feel as friends straight from the start. I can only recommend his services. We got to visit the Katacombs, the Roman Theatre and the Library, and it was incredible.
Response from the operator: You were a good friend.. thank you too . Hope to see you again .

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Greek Alexandria: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Full Day Greek Alexandria cost?
+
Prices start at $100 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 Full Day Greek Alexandria take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Full Day Greek Alexandria worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Full Day Greek 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 Full Day Greek Alexandria suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Greek Alexandria?
+
Around 1 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Greek 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 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 Pyramids Sphinx Camel ATV Bike Shopping and Nile Dinner Cruise, Cairo 8 Hour Private Tour of Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum, Pyramids Sphinx and Grand Egyptian Museum Nile Felucca or Bazaar. 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.
