Pompey's Pillar
Pompey’s Pillar (Serapium Oracle). Despite being Alexandria’s most famous tourist sight, Pompey’s Pillar is a disappointment. After all, it’s just a granite pillar—albeit at 88 feet, a very tall one placed on a hill surrounded by ruins. the pillar was misnamed after Pompeii's (106—48 Bc) by the Crusaders. In fact, it dates to the 3rd century AD, when i was erected in honor of the emperor Diocletian on the site of a Ptolemaic temple to Serapis. Helpful signs on the ruins name each virtually empty spot as a “pool” or “bath,” which to the untrained eye look like indistinguishable rocks, The late-model sphinxes lying around on pedestals add a little character, The most interesting element, ironically, is that from the hill you can get a glimpse inside the walled cemetery next door, as well as a view of a long and busy market street. & Corner of Amoud El Sawary.

We greatly enjoyed our city tour! Sally was such a welcoming and informative city guide. She navigated the sights with us smoothly and helped us even beat some of the crowds. She treated us to a coffee stop and an Egyptian treat local spot. Can’t thank you enough Sally!

Shaina was a wonderful...
Shaina was a wonderful guide. We enjoyed her company as well as her information. Library of Alexandria was a great site to visit and the A/C worked very well. Each site had excellent historical value which we all enjoyed learning. Although we were very hot most of the time, it was cool to have the little van all to ourselves. Thank you for the informative and entertaining day.

Great tour guide
Tarek was a great guide - very flexible and particularly strong on the catacombs and the citadel. Took great care to accommodate our dietary needs for lunch. Do give him a nudge to spend extra time at Pompey’s Pillar, so you can make sure you see the sanctuary and the old library. Greco-Roman museum is not on the tour, but was a great recommendation, and very, very easy to do self-guided after the walking tour.

Incredible Private Tour of Alexandria with Tori – A Perfect Day!
We had an amazing day exploring the beautiful and historic city of Alexandria with our guide, Tori. From start to finish, the tour-organized, informative, and filled with unforgettable sights. We began at the impressive Fort of Qaitbay (Citadel of Qaitbay), where Tori brought the history of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria to life. From there, we visited the stunning Mosque of Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi, a spiritual and architectural gem. Next, we ventured underground to the haunting and fascinating Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, followed by a stop at the monumental Pompey's Pillar, where Tori shared insightful stories that made the ruins truly come alive. One of the highlights of the day was the Bibliotheca Alexandrina — an inspiring modern marvel that beautifully honors the legacy of the ancient library. Tori was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also entertaining, making history engaging and fun throughout the tour. We also want to give a big shout-out to our driver, Mohammed, who was absolutely phenomenal — professional, courteous, and made the journey between sites smooth and comfortable. We ended our tour with a delicious meal at Branzino Restaurant, where we enjoyed fresh local fish and creamy hummus while overlooking the Mediterranean Sea — the perfect way to wrap up a spectacular day. If you’re visiting Alexandria, don’t miss it — highly recommended!

Why this scores 82
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private full-Day Sightseeing Tour in Alexandria: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Alexandria.
How much does Private full-Day Sightseeing Tour in Alexandria cost?
+
Prices start at $15 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 Private full-Day Sightseeing Tour in Alexandria 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 Private full-Day Sightseeing Tour in Alexandria worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 29 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 Private full-Day Sightseeing Tour in 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 Private full-Day Sightseeing Tour in Alexandria 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 Private full-Day Sightseeing Tour in Alexandria?
+
Around 10 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 Private full-Day Sightseeing Tour in 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 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 Half Day Giza Pyramids and Sphinx, Alexandria Full Day Tour, 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.
