Your Alexandria luxury VIP tour from Cairo will begin with a warm welcome from your Egyptologist guide in the hotel lobby at your preferred pick-up time, which we recommend to be between 7:00 am and 8:00 am. Your luxury car will be waiting for you with an expert driver who will transfer you to Alexandria in style and comfort.
Upon arrival in Alexandria, our local representative will be waiting for you with all-inclusive tickets and fast entrance assistance for all the sights. You will have the opportunity to explore the mightiest achievements of the Greco-Roman empires, the Old Islamic Mamluks, and the Ottoman empires, all while experiencing a lifetime of memories.
As you drive through the city, your guide will show you the main squares of downtown, which we call the capital of memories. You will also have the chance to visit the oldest bars in Alexandria, dating back to Colonial times. It is optional to go inside one of the bars, but we highly recommend it for a truly authentic experience.
Your first stop will be at the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa These ancient underground tombs are a fascinating sight to behold and offer glimpses into the rich history and architectural prowess of the region. Dating back to the 2nd century AD, the catacombs are known for their unique blend of Roman, Greek, and Egyptian styles. You’ll be amazed at the intricate carvings depicting scenes from mythology and everyday life.
Pompeii Pillar, a magnificent granite column standing almost 30 meters (100ft) tall. Erected in 297 AD in honor of Emperor Diocletian, the pillar is one of the largest monolithic columns ever built and is set on a stone base 25 feet square and 15 feet high.
Next, you will visit the Citadel of Qaitbay, one of the tour highlights, where you can enjoy magical views and the freshest air in Egypt. Built during the 14th century by Sultan Qaitbey, this picturesque fortress was designed to defend Alexandria from the advances of the Ottoman Empire.
Your tour will then take you to the Alexandria Library, a modern library and cultural center that commemorates the original Library of Alexandria. Designed by Norwegian architectural firm Snohetta, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina was completed in 2002 and is a stunning example of contemporary architecture.
Your journey will continue to the district of Kom El Dekka, where you will discover the Roman Theatre, built in the 4th century and in use for three centuries before being discovered in 1960.
After a day of exploring, you will be treated to a special seafood lunch at one of the best fresh seafood restaurants in Alexandria, which will be prepared for you anytime after 12:00 pm.
Finally, your Alexandria Luxury VIP tour will come to an end with a transfer back to your hotel, but the memories of this unforgettable experience will last a lifetime.

EXCELLENT Based on 197 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor Curious03626799137Verified Amazing guide Tarek and experience Wonderful experience, skilled and friendly driver Mazen took us from hotel and swiftly got us to alexandria where we were met by our guide. Tarek had a wealth of knowledge, was a historian and archaeologist and took us to the Citadel, Mosque, catacombs, library and showed us everything. Really flexible around what we wanted, helping get us straight to sites in whatever way we wanted and amazing specialist knowledge. Everything was managed to make our time special and effortless. Really lucky and highly recommend.Posted on Tripadvisor Fabiola BVerified Excelent travel Sakkara Paseo por el Sakkara , estuvo excelente el trato. Muy amables el conductor y el guía. Muy simpáticos y atentos. La verdad me gustó mucho, fui con Hosny & Mohammed. Gracias por sus atenciones, excelencia y calidadPosted on Tripadvisor Timm_a_bVerified Expert Egypt Exploration My wife and I had an awesome time with Mohammed Sobhy as our guide at the Pyramids and Egyptian museum. He knew everything we needed to know, and never left our side to make sure we were not getting lost in the shuffle. He seemed very well known at each location much brought us so much comfort and ease. Egypt is safe and Mohamed was the best.Posted on Tripadvisor Elca BenaVerified Exceptional GEM visit with Amany Absolutely outstanding experience with Amany at the Grand Egyptian Museum! She is, without exaggeration, one of the most exceptional guides I’ve ever had anywhere in the world. Incredibly knowledgeable, brilliantly organized, fluent in English, attentive, passionate, and genuinely dedicated to making the experience perfect for you. The GEM is absolutely massive, and after trying to visit it alone two days earlier, I can honestly say having a guide like Amany completely transforms the experience. On my first visit, I felt overwhelmed and missed so many important masterpieces. With Amany, every moment was optimized perfectly. I explained to her that I wanted to arrive right at opening time to photograph the museum’s most spectacular treasures before the crowds arrived, and then later take the time to walk through the galleries and really learn the stories behind the pieces. She executed this plan flawlessly. Everything was seamless, efficient, and perfectly timed. What impressed me most was how respectful and intuitive she was throughout the tour. She never rushed, never pushed, and completely adapted the experience to exactly what I wanted. She made the entire visit feel personal, relaxed, and unforgettable. And as an amazing bonus, she also gave me fantastic local food recommendations — a huge plus for a serious foodie like me! I cannot recommend Amany highly enough. If you book with the company, make sure you specifically ask for her. She is truly a world-class guide and an absolute gem herself. 🙏Posted on Tripadvisor Jeffet sVerified Cairo Une visite rendue vraiment unique par notre guide Mohamed Sobhy qui, avec bienveillance et maîtrise totale du sujet, nous a permis d'apprendre tant de chose sur ces monuments et ce fantastique musée. Merci à toi MohamedPosted on Tripadvisor Ruben GVerified Amazing day out in Cairo Mohamed is an amazing guide very interesting and efficient ! Highly recommend !Posted on Tripadvisor Barnoosh BVerified Luxury tour guided by expert I got details of the company from a friend who had used them last year. I contacted the owner Tariq via WhatsApp. We exchanged messages and had a phone conversation to set out an inteniary. Price was agreed, although we had some back and forth on payment schedule. In terms of service provided, it was excellent. We were met at the airport, fast-tracked through passport control, driven in air conditioned van to hotel. Tour guide (Mahmoud Khalifa) looked after us for 3 days in Cairo. Mahmoud is a graduate in the field and highly knowledgeable. He was excellent throughout as was our driver Mustafa. Overall, an unparalleled experience for the whole family in a unique city.Posted on Tripadvisor Daydream784306Verified An experience of a life time Tarek was absolutely fantastic we had him for 2 day tours.
