What you'll see and do
Catacombs Of Kom El Shoqafa
The Catacombs of Kom el-Shoqafa, located in Alexandria, Egypt, are a remarkable blend of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultures from the 2nd century AD. Discovered in 1900, they served as a communal burial site and consist of three levels carved into rock, though the lowest is often submerged. A spiral staircase leads to chambers featuring sarcophagi, loculi (burial niches), and intricate carvings that merge Egyptian motifs with Greco-Roman styles. Key areas include the Rotunda and Triclinium, where feasts were held in honor of the dead. Known as “Mound of Shards” for the broken pottery left by mourners, the catacombs reflect Alexandria’s multicultural history and offer unique insights into ancient funerary practices.

Pompey's Pillar
Pompey’s Pillar is a massive Roman triumphal column in Alexandria, Egypt, and one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Standing 26.85 meters (88 feet) tall and made of red granite, it was erected in 297 AD to honor Emperor Diocletian for saving the city during a famine. Despite its name, it has no connection to Pompey the Great; the name likely arose from medieval misinterpretations. The column is the largest of its kind outside Rome and sits atop the ruins of the Serapeum, a grand temple dedicated to the Greco-Egyptian god Serapis. Surrounded by sphinxes and other artifacts, it is a testament to Alexandria’s Roman heritage and remains a significant historical and architectural site.

The Citadel of Qaitbay, located on the Mediterranean coast of Alexandria, Egypt, is a stunning 15th-century fortress built by Sultan Al-Ashraf Qaitbay in 1477 AD. It was constructed on the site of the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, which had been destroyed by earthquakes. The citadel served as a defensive stronghold to protect the city from naval attacks. Its Mamluk architecture features thick walls, towering battlements, and a central square keep. Overlooking the harbor, it offers panoramic views of the sea and the city. Today, it stands as a symbol of Alexandria’s rich history and a popular tourist destination.

Biblioteca de Alexandria
The Library of Alexandria, founded in the 3rd century BCE during the reign of Egypt’s Ptolemaic dynasty, was one of the greatest centers of learning in the ancient world. Located in Alexandria, it aimed to collect all human knowledge and housed hundreds of thousands of scrolls covering literature, science, philosophy, and more. Scholars from various cultures gathered there, contributing to advancements in multiple fields. The library’s destruction, attributed to various events over centuries, remains a topic of debate. Its legacy lives on in the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a modern cultural center and library built in 2002 to honor its historical predecessor.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private All-Inclusive Alexandria Day Trip from Cairo with a Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Private All-Inclusive Alexandria Day Trip from Cairo with a Guide 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 Private All-Inclusive Alexandria Day Trip from Cairo with a Guide take?
+
Plan for about 10.8 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 Private All-Inclusive Alexandria Day Trip from Cairo with a Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Private All-Inclusive Alexandria Day Trip from Cairo with a Guide?
+
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 Private All-Inclusive Alexandria Day Trip from Cairo with a Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private All-Inclusive Alexandria Day Trip from Cairo with a Guide?
+
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 10.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private All-Inclusive Alexandria Day Trip from Cairo with a Guide 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.
