It is both a commemoration of the Library of Alexandria that was lost in antiquity, and an attempt to rekindle something of the brilliance that this earlier center of study and erudition represented. The idea of reviving the old library dates back to 1974, when a committee set up by Alexandria University selected a plot of land for its new library. Construction work began in 1995 and, after some US$220 million had been spent, the complex was officially inaugurated on 16 October 2002. In 2010, the library received a donation of 500,000 books from the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF). The gift makes the Bibliotheca Alexandrina the sixth-largest Francophone library in the world.

An unforgettable adventure with a wonderful panorama
The camel ride near the Pyramids of Giza was absolutely magical! The view of the endless desert and the imposing pyramids was breathtaking. Amro, our guide, explained every detail with passion and professionalism. I highly recommend this experience for those who want to experience the essence of ancient Egypt.
Response from the operator: Grazie mille per aver condiviso la tua esperienza! Siamo felici che il giro in cammello vicino alle Piramidi di Giza ti abbia lasciato un'impressione così forte. La vista del deserto e delle piramidi è davvero unica, e siamo contenti che Amro abbia reso l'esperienza ancora più speciale con la sua passione e professionalità. È un'esperienza che raccomandiamo vivamente a chiunque voglia immergersi nell'essenza dell'antico Egitto. Speriamo di poterti accogliere di nuovo per altre avventure indimenticabili!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Vip private: Cairo to Alexandria, including lunch, entrance fees: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Vip private: Cairo to Alexandria, including lunch, entrance fees cost?
+
Prices start at $40 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 Vip private: Cairo to Alexandria, including lunch, entrance fees take?
+
Plan for about 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 Cairo is not rushed.
Is Vip private: Cairo to Alexandria, including lunch, entrance fees worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Vip private: Cairo to Alexandria, including lunch, entrance fees?
+
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 Vip private: Cairo to Alexandria, including lunch, entrance fees suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Vip private: Cairo to Alexandria, including lunch, entrance fees?
+
Around 0 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Vip private: Cairo to Alexandria, including lunch, entrance fees 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.
