Be honest with yourself about the driving: six hours of it, for about five hours in the city. If you can spare a night in Alexandria instead, do that and we will build it. If you cannot, this works, and the Graeco-Roman layer of Egypt is different enough from everything else you will see to justify the day.
Pickup at 06:30 to beat the worst of the road. Catacombs and Pompey's Pillar late morning, lunch on the Corniche, library and Qaitbay in the afternoon, leaving the city by 17:00. Back in Cairo around 20:30.
Send us the dates and how many people are travelling, by WhatsApp or the form on this page. We reply with a written itinerary and a fixed price, usually within a few hours. Confirming is a message, not a payment.
No. We ask for no deposit and take no payment to hold a date. Nothing is charged when you book and nothing is payable in advance - you settle with us in Egypt once the trip is running.
Tell us and we will change it, or cancel it, at no cost. There is no cancellation fee and no deadline to worry about, because nothing has been paid up front. If plans shift while you are already here, we will rearrange what we can on the day.
The tourist regions are heavily policed and we work in them daily. Your guide stays with you at every site. If you are travelling alone, tell us - we will match you with a guide accordingly.
Pairs well with
The desert war, three cemeteries, and a coastline that has since been built over.
Ottoman merchant houses where the stone was found, an hour east of Alexandria.
Best seller The world's largest single-civilisation museum, then the plateau it was built to face.
