Overview

Designed for passengers landing at Alexandria Port with a fixed all-aboard time, this half day hits the four essential sites without a rushed feeling. Your guide meets you at the terminal gate, and the whole route stays within twenty minutes of the ship.

We build in a written back-to-ship guarantee: if anything delays us, we are contractually responsible for getting you to the next port at our cost. In nineteen years it has never been invoked.

Highlights

Met at the cruise terminal gate with a name board
Catacombs, Pompey's Pillar, Qaitbay and the Bibliotheca
Written back-to-ship guarantee
Private vehicle, never a shared coach
