What an amazing adventure! Alexandria is a beautiful city with many fascinating historical sites. Youssef was my driver and immediately made me feel warm and welcome. Yomna was my guide, and an Alexandrian native who was very friendly, kind, generous, and very knowledgeable. There were many pleasant little surprises and acts of kindness from both Youssef and Yomna. As far as Alexandria goes, I am a tourist from America and had done most of what Giza and Luxor had to offer and so was hesitant to make another tour. But I'm really glad I decided to take this tour. Whether you are taking fun pics with the Pompei Pillar, exploring strange but interesting Egyptian/Greco-Roman art in the catacombs, experiencing the natural "acoustic mic" area of the Roman amphitheatre, exploring the castle-like Citadel on the sea and its amazing views of the city and sea, dipping your feet in the Mediterranean, or stopping by Alexandria Library, you will experience something special in this city. Thank you Yomna and Youssef for a great and memorable trip!
