Wonderful trip to Alexandria
We had an amazing trip to Alexandria with our guide Dalia. She is a passionate and proud Egyptian who is well versed with its rich history. This was our second trip with Sun Pyramids. We had a delightful, comfortable and professional experience with them. Highly recommend their services as they go out of their way to make your experience most wonderful. Cheers

Sea, desert, and city in one spectacular day trip
This was a great trip with stops at the Citadel, Catacombs, Pompey's pillar and the WW2 museum at El- Alamein and the Allies War Cemetery. Our guide Mohab was so excited to tell us about each site. The Citadel was worth the trip in and of itself with a beautiful view of the Mediterranean Sea while having lunch. We ended a great day by getting to the WW2 museum at El- Alamein and it is one of the best War museums I have been to anywhere in the World. The Allies cemetery was just so beautiful and moving after a day spent with Mohab learning about the history of Egypt and experiencing the most spectacular driving skills in Alexandria by our driver, Bird. Kudos to Mahmoud for logistically setting up the whole trip. This is a great day trip that should not be missed. Alexandria has its own charm with real grit while overlooking a spectacular Sea. The Museum has some of the most beautiful plaques, comprehensive maps and tons of military equipment. Highly recommend this trip and these guides.

Alexandria
It was a good 1 day tour to go to Alexandria. My guide Ahmed Kamel is good for Egyptian history. We couldn’t go to Alexandria Library, but he immediately found another historical spot. Alexandria is not so far from Cairo, If you have a time, I recommend you go there.

Very interesting, enjoyable day in Alexandria and El Alamein. Highly recommend Ahmed!!
Ahmed was a wonderful tour guide! He was very professional, knowledgeable and we enjoyed every minute of our day with him. Very highly recommended!

Alamein war museum, war memorial cemetery and Alexandria
Although our trip started with a very long delay due to the road been closed because of fog, I’m giving the rating for the trip not on the delay which was beyond their control. Our guide Medhat was very knowledgeable and entertaining he even bought cakes and played happy birthday for us in the car which was a lovely thought. Mhmud our driver was excellent at manoeuvring around the extremely busy hectic traffic and after being on the trip for 16.5hrs he was still alert and we felt safe at all times.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for choosing Sun Pyramids Tours. It has been a pleasure to serve you during your stay in Egypt. We appreciate your review as it encourages us to do better in the next upcoming years. Looking forward to helping you more through your next journeys all around the world!

Private Day Tour to Alamein and Alexandria From Cairo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Private Day Tour to Alamein and Alexandria From Cairo cost?
+
Prices start at $75 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 Private Day Tour to Alamein and Alexandria From Cairo 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 Cairo is not rushed.
Is Private Day Tour to Alamein and Alexandria From Cairo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 10 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 Private Day Tour to Alamein and Alexandria From Cairo?
+
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 Day Tour to Alamein and Alexandria From Cairo 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 Private Day Tour to Alamein and Alexandria From Cairo?
+
Around 4 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Day Tour to Alamein and Alexandria From Cairo 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.
