Alexandria, historic gem of Egypt - Today my excursion from Cairo to Alexandria was a beautiful and warm experience. My driver, Immam was excellent. My guide in Alexandria was well spoken, professional, accommodating and a good soul. (He carries treats for stray dogs and cats, as a thoughtful kindness). He’s proud of his city and you can feel it. His English is excellent. Matmoud is fantastic. Thank you so much! Alexandria exceeded my expectations because of you Matmoud!

Great tour of Alexandria - Our day started rough with me being in a lot of pain. We went from Cairo to Alexandria with our excellent driver. Upon arriving to Alexandria we met Momo our tour guide. With the help of my friend, driver and Momo our trip to Alexandria was amazing 🤩 Momo is very knowledgeable and very patient with me and my discomfort, but overall he made this trip fun and pleasant. He is a very kind tour guide all the locals love him and the city pets also look forward to see Momo. This tour is very well worth it, and our lunch was delishhhhhhhhh 😋. I high recommend this tour and ask for Momo 🤗

Trip to the City that Alexander the Great built, Julius Caesar conquered, and I ate lunch. - We had a great trip! Our driver sliced through the Egypt traffic like a hot knife through humus. Our tour guide was Momo, and he did a great job of telling the history and getting us to all the important photo ops. The catacombs, the Roman Amphitheater, the Library. We had a great lunch, put our feet in the Mediterranean Sea, and then headed back to Cairo. It was a great day!

Great experience! - Had a fantastic experience! The driver was nice and polite, driving as safe as possible in Egypt. The guide was absolutely superb - very flexible, altered the itinerary based on our interests and was sharing loads of interesting facts and stories about the places we’ve visited (+ a thousand other questions we had). We didn’t expect much from the trip but were really impressed and would recommend to anyone!

Cosmopolitan Alexandria - Alexandria is a beautiful cosmopolitan city with a mix of pharonic, Greek and Roman culture. The citadel and library are a must filled with a wealth of historical information. Must see in Egypt!!

So beautiful to see - We had a great day with the lovely Marwa. She was super sweet and very knowledgeable. For lunch she took us to this beautiful restaurant by the sea called Branzono. The food was amazing and the views were even better. Definitely recommend coming. Alexandria is beautiful, way less people than Cairo. And you get to see the Roman/greek influence on Egyptian culture.

Our time with Momo Salah - We went to Alexandria today . Our guide Momo Salah guided us to the Catacombs and library of Alexander the great just to name a few . He made us feel like family . We felt so comfortable being with him . Was almost ashame parting ways , but if you ever find yourself in Alexandria and you want a memorable experience. I suggest you ask for Momo as your guide 😉 you will feel like family
