Set off on an exciting one-day tour from Cairo to Alexandria, a city pulsating with history and culture. First on the itinerary is the iconic Roman Theater – an ancient architectural marvel that speaks volumes about Alexandria's history. From there, journey into the mystical Catacomb of Kom El-Shoqafa, one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages - it's an awe-inspiring exploration of ancient cultures and architectural styles. Next, step into the contemporary world of the Alexandria Library, a beacon of learning and knowledge that will leave you in awe of its vast collections. Then, travel back in time to the 15th century with a visit to the Qaitbay Citadel, a fortress that played a crucial role in Alexandria's history. Finally, pay homage at the El Mursi Abu Elabas Mosque, a crucial hub of Islamic culture and spirituality in the city.
Note: Alexandria Library is Closed on Friday, so you will be able to take Photos from outside

The trip from my bucket list exceeded my expectations. My Driver Asharaf was the consummate professional. He told some interesting stories on the 3-hour ride to Alexandria and my guide Heeba, whom we met in Alexandria knew her stuff and provided ample time and direction for my visit. Lunch was provided (on my option) and it was sublime: Mediterranean sea bass with window-side views out to the sea!! We hit all the expected sights and both Guide and Driver were very accommodating when I asked to do a quick visit of the oldest Coptic Church in Africa on way to Lunch.

While we enjoyed seeing the catacombs, the Pillar of Pompei, the Roman Theatre, the Citadel, and visiting the Library of Alexandria, the driver (Waleed) that picked us up in Cairo was unsafe, unprepared, and unprofessional. He did not have any ID when he picked us up at the hotel as promised in our reservation. The car was filthy and small. Waleed did not speak English and we do not speak Arabic so communication was difficult. On the way to Alexandria, he did not have enough fuel so he stopped three times shopping for gas. One of the times he stopped for his breakfast while we waited in the car for him to finish eating. He was a reckless driver and almost got into an accident 3 times. He did not know the location of the rendezvous point with our Egyptologist guide and constantly stopped to ask for directions. He drove through some very dangerous areas of the city, apparently lost. We feared for our personal safety constantly. Eventually the driver was able to meet up with our guide so we were able to complete our tour of Alexandria. Our guide Fareed did a good job explaining the sites we visited and was friendly and helpful. We learned a lot from his insights and appreciated his kindnesses. Our driver Waleed took us back to Cairo once again driving recklessly and causing us constant anxiety. Eventually we arrived safely at the hotel.

Very friendly driver and tour guide. Ms Mayiada has immense knowledge about ancient Egypt combined with Greek-Roman mythology as well. The vehicle provided was quite comfortable and they arrived on time at the hotel and dropped us as well.
I would suggest taking this tour with Ms Mayiada and enjoying the port city of Alexandria.

Great tour from Mohamed. He provided a lot of information in a clear way and made the days easy. Great tour to have with him to get away from Cairo for a day and enjoy the nice weather outdoors. Thanks for Emo Tours.

5/5 really a fun trip to see a city that had a really different vibe than Cairo - we had Mimo as your guide and he is highly recommended - very funny and personable but also extremely knowledgeable.
