The Graeco-Roman Museum of Alexandria re-opened its doors to the public in 2023 after 18 years of renovation work. The museum's archaeological collection is dedicated to the Greek and Roman eras of Egypt. It illustrates the periods of history from before the foundation of Alexandria by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, the subsequent Ptolemaic Dynasty who ruled until 30 BC, followed by Egypt's time as a Roman province up to the Muslim conquest in 641 AD. Among the 10,000 artefacts on display are several discovered by the IEASM during underwater excavations in the sunken cities of Thonis-Heracleion and Canopus as well as in the ancient Portus Magnus of Alexandria.

The Jewellery Museum is a two-story villa which belonged to Princess Fatma Al-Zahraa – a member of the Egyptian Royal family, which she decorated to her taste in 1920. The foyer is a grandiose affair with burgundy soft, deep carpets and carved, gilded ceilings. From here, a short flight of marble steps lead to the first floor. Portraits of all the royal descendants of the Mohamed Ali Dynasty (with a brief description) decorate the walls. Very little information is known about the life and history of Princess Fatma with the exception of her evident extraordinary taste in interior decoration.

I went to Alexandria with this company. A perfect day with a memorable experience. They customized the day according to what I wanted to see, eat and experience. Driver, guide and owner of the company all very humble and curtious. By the time day was approaching towards its end, I was tired but all of them were still energetic and worried that I might not miss anything that I realize and regret later. I never had any experience like this with any tour company before.

Excellent service from the time I made the reservation to the time I was dropped off at my hotel in Cairo!

The drive from Cairo to Alexandria is just over two hours, but it goes by fast. My guide was very knowledgeable and professional, and very accommodating. I visited the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, Pompey's Pillar, the Roman Theater, and the Qaitbay Citadel.

The tour in Alexandria ended with a delicious seafood lunch before the drive back to Cairo.

Worst english skill of tour guide. could understand only 10% of what he said. I was expecting some fluent english speaking Guide with good knowledge of history and place but it was opposite. Wasted time in an expensice papyrus/perfume shop for commission. instead he could have took me to one more sight seeing place as i had paid for the time.
