Itinerary

Explore Alexandria's top sights with a private local guide, including the Catacombs, Bibliotheca Alexandrina, and Qaitbay Citadel (exterior photo stop), with pickup from your hotel or cruise port. You'll cover the city's key sites without rushing: Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, Pompey's Pillar ( photo stop), Roman Amphitheater, Bibliotheca Alexandrina, and Qaitbay Citadel ( photo stop). The pace is yours. Your guide is a licensed Egyptologist — not a script reader. Cruise passengers get port pickup with a confirmed return before all-aboard. Hotel guests get door-to-door service from any Alexandria hotel. No shared buses. No waiting for strangers. Just your group and one of the most layered cities in the Mediterranean. Note: Bibliotheca Alexandrina is closed on Fridays. If your visit falls on a Friday, exterior photos are still possible and the rest of the itinerary runs as normal.
