Perfect Day Trip to Alexandria from Cairo

If you only have one day available, this tour is an excellent way to experience Alexandria. It’s a full day with about four hours of sightseeing in the city, making it perfect for travelers who want a great introduction without staying overnight. The itinerary included the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, the impressive Roman Amphitheater, where the acoustics are remarkable, the stunning Bibliotheca Alexandrina, and the Citadel of Qaitbay, built on the site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria. Each stop offered something unique and helped us appreciate the city’s incredible history. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and our driver was outstanding. Although he didn’t speak English, we were able to communicate using Google Translate whenever needed. It worked well for us, but if having direct communication with your driver is important, it’s something to keep in mind. One of the highlights of the day was lunch. I asked if we could have seafood, and the guide took us to a beautiful restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean. The food, the view, and the atmosphere made for a memorable experience. The drive from Cairo takes about three hours each way, but the highways felt safe and well maintained. If this is your first time in Egypt, don’t be surprised by the local driving style or by how people cross the streets—it’s simply different from what many visitors may be used to. The good news is that you can relax and enjoy the scenery while someone else does the driving. Overall, I highly recommend this tour. It offers a great balance of history, culture, beautiful scenery, and excellent food, making it a fantastic introduction to Alexandria for first-time visitors.

Great day At Pyramids

Had a great day with Mohamad, He is great with managing the whole day and how and when to do every part of the trip. Exactly the trip we wanted to do for a day at the pyramids, everything was great and Mohamad couldn't have done anything better. Recommend booking everything all inclusive. Will definitely recommend this exact tour. Price is very reasonable too.

Excellent tour!

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.

Excellent Guide and tour!

The tour was excellent! I couldn’t have asked for a better tour. Islam was our guide and he was super knowledgeable and kind. He took us to an amazing perfume/oil store and I wish I would have purchased more. My husband is getting so many compliments. The pyramids were amazing and Islam took the best pictures. Would definitely book again

Ibrahim Exceeded All Expectations (and they were high!)

We were only in Egypt for two days! So we had a lot of eggs in one basket hoping for lifetime memories of Egypt, Cairo, Giza and the pyramids! It was a lot to ask but this tour really delivered, principally because of our tour guide Ibrahim and the friendliest driver in the world, Sameer. Ibrahim was incredible, his English was impeccable and he spoke eloquently about Egyptian history, politics, traditions and the idiosyncrasies of Cairo culture. He was funny, engaging, patient and great with our two girls. More than all of this he gave us an incredibly passionate and informed reading of the history of the pyramids - he seemed particularly well informed having studied Egyptology in Oxford. Ibrahim anchored the mysteries of the Pharaohs and their tombs in historical terms and painted in rich technicolour the awesome achievements and vision of the ancient Egyptians. Seriously he was brilliant. In addition to bringing us to a much clearer understanding of ancient Egypt - he was sensitive to our need as a young family to have some moments to ourselves to be daft and have fun and he took some great pictures. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Our driver who spoke little English was smiling and generous and drove considerately. The lunch was delicious with a front seat view of the pyramids. The camel ride was a blast too! We had a fantastic day and came away from Egypt with lasting memories of our brief moment in the mind-bending history of the Pyramids. P.S. We went in May which seems to be a good time - it was really quiet and manageable heat.

This is a MUST do

I can't even describe what a wonderful experience today was. I have dreamed of seeing the pyramids my entire life (48 years now). You need to book this with a guide, it made the day magical. Esaam was incredible. Exploring the sites with an actual Egyptologist was amazing. His insight was so enlightening. I will be back to Egypt and I will be doing more tours with him.

Alexandria Day Trip From Cairo

Blerina_H, May 2026

Amazing time in Alexandria!

We had such a wonderful day trip to Alexandria with Karim and our driver Ahmet. Everything was organised perfectly from pickup to drop-off, and the whole experience felt comfortable, fun, and full of fascinating history. Karim was an excellent Egyptologist guide ,incredibly knowledgeable, clever, funny, and passionate about Alexandria’s Greek, Roman, and Egyptian history. He explained everything in such an interesting and easy way and showed us both the beautiful modern side of Alexandria and the deeper historical and cultural side too. As Albanians living in Britain, we especially loved hearing the historical connections he shared with us. We visited Montaza Palace, Saint Mark’s Coptic Orthodox Cathedral, the Catacombs, and many other amazing places. Lunch was lovely, the transport was comfortable, and Ahmet was so patient, kind, and friendly throughout the day. Our group included people from America, Germany, China, and the UK, and Karim made everyone feel included and welcomed. We learned so much while laughing all day. Truly one of the best tour experiences we’ve ever had in Egypt. Highly recommended!

So well worth it!

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.

Excellent private tour with a brilliant guide - Michael

Michael, our tour guide was an amazing guide. His knowledge of egypt - past and near past was impressive. The tour itself was smooth and very informative. Our son had injured himself and both Michael and Essam (the driver) went out of their way to ensure he was comfortable and could make the most of the trip including through the Giza pyramids. Michael walked us through the massive GEM with ease and knowledge. Being a private tour, it was very convenient. Highly recommend.

Knowledgeable, friendly and efficient.

We had the great pleasure of Sayed and his driver, apologies for forgetting your name my friend. They were on time, organising things from start to end. We had two children with us, and they adapted well. Sayed's knowledge on the topic is vast, but he also engaged in personal conversation, which added to the bonding and enjoyment. 5 out of 5 from beginning to end. Thanks guys!
