Great little day trip from Cairo

David_B, Sep 2024

The whole experience was exceptional starting with my dealings the Mariem, the travel consultant who was very helpful in every aspect. The day started from the hotel with Mr Aref, the driver, who took me to Alexandria where I hooked up with Mrs. Wesam, the tour guide. Both very friendly and knowledgeable. The tour took me to all the sites listed, however, the library itself was closed so could only stand on the street out front. My fault I didn't check that on Fridays it closes for maintenance. However, we did go to the Citadel for some time, then had a tremendous lunch right across the street at a local establishment. Highly recommend this tour to anyone interested ... just be aware the library is closed Fridays.

Excelente!

O tour foi excelente, nos buscaram no nosso hotel no Cairo no horário combinado (7h30) e o trajeto até Alexandria demorou cerca de 3 horas. Do Cairo até Alexandria fomos apenas com o motorista e encontramos nossa guia, Sam, na primeira parada do tour, lá em Alexandria. Pegamos a opção de excursão gastronômica e foi excelente! Entre uma parada e outra, a guia nos levava nos comércios e experimentamos o sorvete e o suco de frutas naturais. Para o almoço escolhemos o falafel. No restaurante também experimentamos o foul, a beringela, o tahini tudo com o delicioso pão egípcio (o pão árabe - aquele que infla).O tour acabou pelas 14h30 e estávamos de volta ao Cairo pelas 17h30. Apesar de ser um trajeto longo o roteiro foi bem tranquilo e as paradas para os lanches foram bem planejadas. A Sam foi uma guia excelente, nos explicando todos os pontos de interesse e também sobre a história de Alexandria. Ela também sempre sugeria pontos de parada, caso quiséssemos experimentar mais alguma comida/comercio de Alexandria e no almoço nos deixou bem a vontade para escolher as comidas, os acompanhamentos, as bebidas, etc. (Todas as comidas/bebidas já estavam incluídas no tour, não tivemos que pagar nada a mais no dia, apenas a gorjeta para a guia e o motorista, que é opcional).
