We had an amazing experience with Mahmoud who was our guide .. He made the visit very interesting with his knowledge about the history and good command of the English language.. He made the trip very memorable.. Would recommend Mahmoud to all for taking him as a guide.

Alexandria

Very different from Cairo and it was nice to see another area of Egypt . You have to eat fish in Alexandria.

Impressive blue sunny day and not exhausting road.

I had some doubts before going to Alexandria from Cairo , because of long way from one city to another. But Alexandria was really interesting with all it's historical attractions and beautiful skyline of the embankment. Our guide Mohammed Sabagh showed us the best points and created good mood.
