Itinerary
1.The Stanly bridge you love the view and the fresh air, perfect spot for pictures. I recommend walking and seeing the beautiful scenery on the bridge.
2. Kom al-Shoqafa (Catacombs) An ancient circular staircase leads down into these tombs that were tunneled into the bedrock during the age of the Antonine emporers (2nd century AD).
3. Fort Qait Bey Resembling an imposing castle fortress, this citadel was built in the 1480s by Sultan Qaitbey on the site of the Pharos Lighthouse, to protect the city from the crusaders who used to attack the city by sea.
4. Bibliotheca Alexandrina Located near the site of the ancient library of Alexandria, this modern version is an eleven-story, cylindrical-shaped building that houses more than eight million books. A re-imagining of Alexandria's ancient Great Library, this gorgeously designed cultural center contains a host of museums as well as one of the modern world's most ambitious libraries. Its architecture - a giant sun disk - presides over the waterfront Corniche, while inside, a huge reading room can hold eight million volumes. Below themain library, visitors can explore a range of beautifully curated exhibitions. TheManuscript Museum with its magnificent collection of ancient texts and scrolls and the Antiquities
5. The oldest church Saint Mark's is located in a very interesting section of Alexandria. It is interesting and I enjoyed the history of the place. I would include this on the Must See list.
6- the oldest mosque Absolutely magnificent,, .. there are 3 Mosques to enjoy here,, the middle one was open,, it is even as magnificent inside as outside,,.. A must visit for most tourists,,..

This private 1/2 day trip of Alexandria with Feby was excellent. Feby was passionate about showing us around her city of birth. She was extremely knowledgeable about Egyptian history through the centuries, telling a story that brought it all to life. Our trip included a visit to the Catacombs and the Citadel with drive by of the amphitheater and other ancient sites. We toured the old town, which you don’t get to see on a large bus tour as the roads are too narrow and crowded. We would definitely recommend Feby and her courteous driver and will definitely book again with her when we visit Cairo as Feby also does small private tours of Cairo.
Our tour with Feby was fabulous! She's extremely knowledgeable, accommodating to our requests and needs beautifully. She showed us so many interesting places and always with lots of personal enthusiasm for the subject matter. It's easy to see her passion for Egypt and its history!
We took the Half—Day Guided Tour in Alexandria with the outstanding and knowledgeable guide Feby! We were with one other couple from our cruise as Feby showed us her favorite sights in the city: St. Catherine’s Cathedral, Catacombs of Kom el Shogafa, The Citadel of Qaitbay among other interesting places and neighborhoods. Her passion about her job and the city are obvious throughout the tour. She contacted us right after our booking to welcome us and made us feel like we were special guests, making sure the choices on the tour accommodated us. The car was comfortable and the driver experienced, appreciated in the city traffic. Feby provided us with water, snacks and gifts! Overall, it was an amazing day in a complex and ancient city, made even special by the best tour guide we have ever had.
Feby was born and raised in Alexandria and highly educated in the history of Egypt. She was so friendly and took us to so many cool places and answered every question we threw at her! Such an enjoyable day! She made our tour the best!
Feby was fantastic! She explained everything and made sure we were comfortable. We really appreciated. The special treat at the end. I would definitely recommend her.
