5.00Our Alexandria day trip was really fun and well organized. We visited the fort on the Mediterranean Sea, the Library of Alexandria, and the catacombs — all fascinating stops. The food was great, and the commute was very comfortable in a private car. A lovely way to explore the city in a day.

5.00Alexandria was a nice addition to our trip! Among other things we visited the catacombs which was the highlight of this trip! It is a 3hour drive from Cairo but our driver was really nice and we felt safe all the way although the busy roads. Thank you Sofy tours for the great planning and for taking care of the little detailed for us!
