Egypt Gift Tours Expert tour guide will pick you up at around 6:30 to 7:00 am from your hotel in either Cairo or Giza to Alexandria which is 220 km away from Cairo. Arrive Alexandria around 10 am and start your day tour by visiting the Roman Theater (A theater with marble seats up to 800 spectators, galleries, section of mosaic flooring and a pleasure garden surrounded by Roman Villas and baths).
Then, you will visit The Catacomb of Kom El-Shoqafa, one of the world’s largest Roman burial sites, the Catacombs are one of Alexandria’s most popular attractions. Watch your head as you descend into a network of underground passages, tombs, and antechambers via a spiral staircase over a three-level tombstone as well as a large Roman-style banquet room, where relatives of the deceased traditionally hosted memorial meals. Inside are 2nd Century statues of Sobek and Anubis wearing Roman Armor.
Our Alexandria day tour continues with a visit to the Alexandria Library. Nerd time! Inspired by the original great library of Alexandria, the modern library was built to hold over eight million books, between 1995 and 2002. It covers 11 cascading levels and although it has not yet reached its capacity, it’s an impressive homage to the ancient splendor of Alexandria. Pick your jaws up off the ground and explore!
Enjoy photo stops at Qaitbay Citadel and Al Mursi Abu Alabbas mosque(from outside) and have a free walk on the Cornish. At the end of the tour, you will be transferred back to Cairo. You will be back at your Cairo hotel around 19:00 pm.

Eva Quentin –
Highly recommend this tour especially a private tour option. Guide and driver were extremely cooperative and friendly, they picked up us timely from hotel. Alexandria is a wonderful city and this one day tour from Cairo is long but packs in all the main sites. Thank you very much!
