Alexandria Tours & Day Trips
Founded by Alexander the Great and ruled by Cleopatra, Alexandria is Egypt's window on the Mediterranean — a breezy, seafood-loving city where Greco-Roman ruins sit beneath belle-époque boulevards. It makes a superb private day trip from Cairo, or an overnight stop on a longer tailor-made journey.
What to See in Alexandria
Descend into the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, where Egyptian and Roman art blend in a three-level necropolis; stand on the harbour walls of Qaitbay Citadel, built on the footprint of the ancient Pharos lighthouse; and visit the striking Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the modern heir to the ancient Library. Pompey's Pillar, the Roman Amphitheatre and a corniche seafood lunch complete the classic day.
Alexandria from Cairo
The drive from Cairo takes under three hours each way on the desert road, making a full-day private tour comfortable — guide, vehicle, entry tickets and lunch all arranged. With more time, our Cairo & Alexandria itineraries add an overnight stay so you see the city light up along the Mediterranean.
