• 5Perfect 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.
