Taking a tour to Alexandria from Cairo was an amazing experience and definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Egypt. The city has a completely different atmosphere compared to Cairo—more relaxed, with beautiful views of the Mediterranean Sea. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cairo who wants to see more of the country and experience the beauty and history of Alexandria. Thank you Maryam for amazing day.
Con Maryam, nuestra guía, contratamos varios tours. Ella se ocupó de organizar todo, es muy amable y profesional. La excursión a Alexandria fue muy interesante, incluyó paseos por la ciudad, catacumbas, ciudadela, biblioteca y almuerzo de pescado con vista al Mediterráneo. Esta es nuestra 2da vez en Egipto y con Maryam la visita se vuelve especial, ella ama lo que hace. No pierdan la oportunidad de contratarla.
Had a great day trip out to Alexandria from our hotel in Giza. Ahmed (the best driver in Egypt) drove us to and from. We saw the Catacombs and Citadel, then had an excellent lunch sitting at the beach looking out to the Mediterranean Sea. Maryam was highly hospitable and looked after us really well. Would highly recommend!
Alexandria was yet another absolutely amazing destination. If you come to Cairo, you have to check out Alexandria. I would recommend booking Maryam as your guide, she truly has passion for what she does and explains everything so clearly. She also takes the best photos, she’s like a professional! It was so beautiful in Alexandria and a perfect way to end our trip, thank you Maryam. 10 stars
Alexandria is a must when visiting Egypt, and with Maryam being your guide you are sure to enjoy even the hiccups of the day. We were road blocked for two hours and even enjoyed that bit of the trip thanks for the warmth of Maryam and our driver, all jet lacked we slept beautifully while waiting. Alexandria is an exceptional place, at the sea, the citadel is like no other and Maryam makes sure you eat at the best local places with views to enjoy. So book this one for sure and enjoy!
This was one of the best decisions we made during our trip to Egypt. It was very comfortable to go there with a pricate car. Our guide Maryam not only showed us around and explain its history she also arranged tickets, lunch etc. One thing I can say is to spend minimum 3 4 hours in the library of Alexandria. There are museums, expositions and many more to discover inside. I liked Alexandria more than Cairo personally.
Fantastic day with Miriam! Miriam is a fantastic tour guide! I recommend booking with her, 6 stars if possible! She is super knowledgeable and easy to get along with. The entire day was well planned and punctual with the perfect amount of time at each location, with additional time at the end of the day for the Library of Alexandria. Communication before the tour was excellent, I booked this through my hotel. I was picked up at my hotel precisely on time by Miriam and our driver for the day. We went to the Roman catacombs first. We were there when they first opened for the day to beat the larg
Another amazing and beautiful citadel of Alexandria. Thank you so much to Maryam Egypt Legends Tours is an amazing tour guide she explains everything and learns about the history of the ancient Egyptians. 👍👍👍👍👍
