Top Cairo Day Trips

Our day trip from Cairo to Alexandria was absolutely amazing from start to finish! I want to start by giving a huge shoutout to our driver, who was wonderful. He was very friendly, smooth and safe with his driving, and incredibly talkative and informative. Even on the drive from Cairo to Alexandria, he kept us entertained by telling us about the monuments and history along the way. Once we arrived in Alexandria, we met our tour guide, Mohammed, and WOW—what an incredible guide! He was extremely knowledgeable about every place we visited. We explored the Alexandria Library, Catacombs, Pompey’s Pillar, the ancient Roman sites, St. Mark’s Cathedral, a mosque, and several other important monuments. We also drove along the beautiful Corniche, saw the Mediterranean Sea, watched people fishing, and saw the beautiful palaces and historic sites along the coast. Mohammed truly brought Alexandria’s history to life. His knowledge was unbelievable—I honestly felt like a historian by the end of the day! 😂 He was kind, patient, attentive, and made sure we understood and enjoyed every part of the experience. We ended our amazing day with a delicious seafood meal overlooking the beach, which was the perfect way to finish the tour. Everything was included in our package, and the entire experience was well organized and stress-free. We are extremely grateful for this experience and especially for Mohammed and our wonderful driver. They made our day in Alexandria unforgettable. We will absolutely use this company again and highly recommend them to anyone visiting Egypt! 🇪🇬❤️ Thank you, Mohammed, for making us feel like we were traveling through history rather than simply taking a tour!

A trip to Egypt wouldn’t be complete without a day trip, at least, to Luxor. The transportation from our hotel to the Cairo airport and back could have been better but it didn’t deter from the trip. Once arriving in Luxor everything was flawless. Remon was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and made sure we had enough free time while also keeping us on schedule. I would recommend this tour.

This was our first time To Egypt and this experience made us feel so safe which was a top priority. The private car, an amazing guide named Michael!, knowledge and flexible with our time. Every moment was thought out and we had an amazing time! We went to the pyramids and I’m so glad we had the choice to enter the pyramids or not before tickets were bought. We then went to both the oils and papyrus store, lunch was truly incredible (mind you we are picky New Yorkers), and the grand Egyptian museum - we learned with our guide and received personal time to roam. Truly an amazing experience! I highly recommend it!

We took a day trip from Cairo to Alexandria and really enjoyed it. Walked our driver was very good and helpful. He arrived 15 minutes early. The car was quite new, clean and had really good AC, the journey was smooth. We paid $50 for 2 people, so this was excellent value for money.

Our guide Essam was the best tour guide I have had in my life. Patient, with expert knowledge, he packed information into small bites so that we could understand and remember what he taught. His enthusiasm for the subject was infectious. Our driver, too, Ayman, was great ( and fun!), pointing out the best spots to take photos. Very careful driver. We felt very safe.

I'm so glad I booked this tour, the whole process from booking and coordination until dropoff was hassle-free! First of all, I was in a bit of a time crunch so I mentioned that I cannot handle any delays, and as discussed pickup was on time. Pickup and dropoff is available from your hotel, which is really convenient! I'm especially thankful for Ahmed, my driver, who was friendly and flexible enough to fit my needs and interests. He also knew about the history and shared interesting facts along the journey. It was good to have someone to drive you around, I'm not new to solo traveling but I see now that it would have been difficult to find my way back to Cairo if I had just relied on Ubers. Towards the end of the tour we really bonded and he was even telling me about his family :)) <3 p.s: i see in some reviews that they were FORCED to visit shops and restaurants, but this was not the case for me. I simply said that I'm not interested.

One of the best tours I’ve experienced in years! But please be cautioned if you are prone to motion sickness or cannot tolerate vehicular risk. Yes, you see whale skeletons in the desert, Lake Qarun, and a pretty albeit polluted waterfall. Yes, you get served a delightful meal in a desert camp (glamp) sight while feral cats wait to pick through your leftovers. But by far the most exciting part of this tour for me was the vehicle safari. Windy, bumpy, not for the faint of heart, but riding in the back while an experienced driver surfs a Land Cruiser down dunes is not an experience to be missed. I also got a chance to skate surf down a dune at the end. Accept it: you will probably wipe out. 😊 My guide was Fares and my drivers were Yusuf and Mohammed.Thanks guys!

Having a skilled private driver (Mohamed) and knowledgeable guide (Wagih) made a huge difference in what we saw and learned. We covered the main churches, synagogue, citadels, and mosques plus other sites. Appreciated their flexibility, they accommodated our pacing/request to go explore and we never felt rushed. Dreaded the hassle to see all the sights on our own so we’re so glad we booked this tour.
