- 1Alexandria is one of the biggest cities bordering the Mediterranean. It was founded by Alexander the Great in 334 B.C. (It is generally believed that his tomb is still there.) It was divided between the local Egyptians, the Greek rulers and the Jews, and then it became the capital of Egypt along the Greek, Roman, and Byzantine rule for more than 10 centuries until the Arab conquest in the 7th century A.D. Alexandria was the second most powerful city of the ancient world after Rome. The city has a lot to offer for its visitors and during this tour you will start early at 7am with your qualified Egyptologist tour guide, in your private, modern a/c van (Wi-Fi on board) and proceed to Alexandria (about a 3-hour drive) where you will visit the following: The catacombs of Kom el Shoqqafa (one of the seven wonders of the Middle Ages) (mummification and cremation were used) Pompey's pillar (84 feet high) (monolithic stone) The temple of Serapis (Serapeum) and its complex The fort of Qaitbay (site of the ancient lighthouse, Pharos) (a great view of Alexandria) The New Library of Alexandria (Biblotheca Alexandrina) with a locally guided tour inside (optional visits to museums and pla The Roman Amphitheater and some of the monuments discovered under water Lunch in a seafood restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean sea is included and at the end of the tour you will be transferred back to your hotel.
About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 532miteshj0 contributionsViator informed us 12 hours before that our 10 hour Cairo layover trip had been cancelled..Viator informed me about 12 hours ago in Egypt that our Cairo 10 hour layover trip with Go Discovery Travel had been cancelled. We were very stressed out and did not sleep as we were a group of 14 people with kids and Viator did not offer us the same package with similar price. What they suggested were very expensive. 1. Viator should block this supplier 'Go Discovery Travel' who let them down because they must have got better money from other customer. This spoils Viator's name and reputation. 2. If supplier lets you down within 72 hours, Viator should find a similar deal and offer it to customers as it is not customer's fault and customer paid in full and put a faith in Viator and agreed the price with them. 3. Viator should offer compensation in this situation to affected customers if they cannot find similar tour and price as customer's have to pay more at the last moment.Written 15 August 2024
- davorm5140 contributionsUnforgettable experience, superb tour guide.Mostafa was a great host and tour guide. He and George (the driver) made sure my son and I had the best time in Egypt. Mostafa is very knowledgeable in history and has been able to explain every detail about the pyramids to my 11 year old son and I. He ensured we were safe around all times, stoped wherever we wanted to take pictures and ensured we were comfortable in heat by turning the AC to the maximum. Mostafa knows everyone and people know him. We were able to skip the lines and get the VIP treatment thanks to him. He even took us to a nice lunch and tried Koshary. Great experience and highly recommended. If you want great experience and knowledgeable tour guide, ask for Mostafa.Written 13 July 2024

He had a driver (Mina) who also took great care of us. Mostafa picked an amazing restaurant. We also were provided with great places to learn about Egyptian culture with the opportunity to purchase some souvenirs. We would definitely want Mostafa again, should we be back in Cairo. Many Thanks.Written 1 July 2024

All my life reading books, history came to life today after my visit to Alexandria. What made this trip even better was my tour guide Mona and her knowledge, she gave me an amazing refresher and added more of what I knew. The tour itself is not too long, the trip from Cairo is aprox. 3hrs each way, but it was a very comfortable ride in a nice car with a great driver and a/c. Lunch was in “Fish Market” delicious!!!
This tour is not for adventure seekers (I consider myself one) however it was perfect after a full day tour of the pyramids in Giza because we were tired and today was more relaxing while full of entertainment. Recommended

Very nice driver and guide (Medhat).
Everything ok.
We went to the catacombs, citadel, new library and eat (very good) full local falafel. Other type of food than local is optional.
Very good communication before the trip.
