A Journey Beyond Imagination - This tour exceeded all expectations! From the moment we were picked up at our hotel, we knew we were in for something special. Our driver was not only friendly but also incredibly accommodating, making sure we felt safe throughout the journey. Upon our arrival in Alexandria, we were greeted by Ehab, our tour guide, whose expertise as a respected archaeologist in the city shone through in every detail he shared. The opportunity to embark on a private tour allowed us to truly immerse ourselves in the experience, asking questions, engaging in enriching conversations, and savoring each moment. It was truly a dream come true.

Our tour with Ehab was simply awesome! He proved to be an excellent guide, ensuring our exploration of Alexandria was smooth and hassle-free. The lunch provided was excellent, and we appreciated the ample time given to enjoy our meal without feeling rushed. The only disappointment was missing out on visiting the library, which was closed due to Ramadan. Despite this, if you only have one day to spare, this tour is perfect for experiencing the highlights of Alexandria. Highly recommend!

Adventurers Abroad - Five-Star Experience with Ehab in Alexandria
I've awarded this tour 5 stars due to Ehab's exceptional guidance, ensuring we visited all the important sites while enriching our experience with insightful details and a lively demeanor. Despite being a long day, it's undoubtedly the best option if you have only one day to spend in Alexandria. However, it's worth noting that although we expected a private vehicle, we were part of a group in a mini-bus. This discrepancy was shared by at least one other member of our group. As for lunch, we recommend sticking to the standard booking, as the 'upgraded' option at the fish restaurant left us disappointed. Additionally, we advise taking this tour before exploring other sites in Cairo, Luxor, or Aswan.

Alexandria Expedition - Upon arrival, I wasted no time delving into Alexandria's treasures. From the iconic Alexandria Library to the majestic Citadel and the breathtaking Stanley Bridge, each sight left me in awe. As evening descended, the view from Stanley Bridge was nothing short of spectacular, casting a mesmerizing glow over the serene sea below.
Taking a moment to indulge in some snacks by the shore, I savored the ambiance of this coastal city a truly unforgettable experience. While there are countless other places to explore, it's essential to plan accordingly, as many attractions close by 4 pm.
After a day filled with exploration and discovery, I reluctantly bid farewell to Alexandria, Despite the brief visit, the memories made in Alexandria will undoubtedly last a lifetime.
