Full-Day Private Tour: Historic Alexandria From Cairo
A trusted partner experience, hand-picked and featured on This is Egypt.

Overview
Step back into the pages of history on a full-day tour from Cairo to ancient Alexandria. You’ll explore the city’s top sights, including the Catacombs of Kom El-Shoqafa and the nearby Roman Amphitheatre, and visit the Modern Library. As you move through these sites, your private Egyptologist guide will share historical context and insights into Alexandria’s Greek, Roman and Egyptian past. Along the way you’ll enjoy a relaxed lunch at a good quality restaurant and have round‑trip hotel transport included. Note that the Alexandria Library is closed on public holidays, and a separate ticket must be bought if you want to enter the reading area. At Montaza you’ll see the Haramlek and Salamlek from outside, as those buildings are not open to the public.
