Itinerary

Respect Egypt Tours will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo in an air-conditioned vehicle after meeting your Egyptologist. Then you will start your Private Guided Full-Day Tour to Alexandria itinerary as well.

Alexandria is a historical and cultural city on Egypt's Mediterranean coast, about 3 hours away by car from northwest of Cairo. In 331 BC, Alexander the Great established this place, which later became a significant hub for trade, culture, and education during ancient times.


📍 The Roman Amphitheater
The theater is a remarkable example of the Roman Empire's impact on Alexandria. It could seat up to 800 spectators and was used for various performances and events.

📍 Library of Alexandria
It is indeed a marvelous sight to witness. A visit to this contemporary library is worth your time. The library houses millions of books and manuscripts and an impressive collection of artwork and cultural artifacts.

Have lunch at a local restaurant to try some of Alexandria's famous seafood dishes.


📍 The Alexandria National Museum
Showcases Alexandria and Egypt's rich history and culture. Stroll on the Corniche, a picturesque promenade that runs along the Mediterranean Sea and offers stunning city views.

After ending all the day's plans, we will return you to your hotel in Cairo.

Night Cairo tour with Respect Egypt Tours

Feb 2026 • Friends

We had the absolute best experience with our guide, Reda. From the very beginning, she was warm, organized, and incredibly knowledgeable. She brought so much depth and context to everything we saw, but explained it in a way that was engaging and easy to understand, not overwhelming. Reda struck the perfect balance between professional and personable. She made us feel safe, taken care of, and genuinely excited to be there. You could tell she truly loves what she does, and that passion made the entire experience unforgettable. She was attentive to our questions, mindful of our pace, and always one step ahead, whether it was navigating crowds, sharing historical insight, or making sure we were comfortable. Having her as our guide elevated the entire trip. If you get the chance to tour with Reda, take it. She was simply great.

A great guide working for a great tour company

The pre-tour customer service support was the best I’ve experienced for a day trip in a dozen years of travel – highly responsive and clear – including accommodation of my late modification to the itinerary. My thanks to Nada. My guide on a private tour to the GEM and Old Cairo Museum, Laila, is young but knows her subject matter and explains things well. Often with day trip guides you can tell that they know the script but are less comfortable with broader or deeper questions. That is not true of Laila. She has put in the homework needed to know Egypt’s extensive history. She really knows her way around both museums, too, which helped maximize my time. And she has a friendly, casual style that makes her comfortable to be with for a full day. I would not hesitate to request her for another tour. Our driver, Ayman, was excellent. He called me at the hotel the day before the tour to confirm the pick up time. I’ve never had that happen on any other tour. It was a nice touch. On the drive he was good at pointing out local sections of Cairo and landmarks, and was deft at getting off the main road and cutting through a residential section to pick up our guide (it was interesting to see neighborhoods up close).

Great trip !!

Our group of four had an excellent visit to Egypt in mid January, thanks to Respect Egypt Tours. We had built a custom tour for four family members to pick us up at the airport, secure visas, get around Cairo and Luxor, take us to all the must-see sites, and generally babysit us. This tour company exceeded our expectations. Our guides were Wael in Cairo and Ahmad in Luxor, both skilled, knowledgeable and very friendly. The Respect Egypt Tour coordinator, Nada, was more attentive before and during the tour than any I have ever worked with. We highly recommend this company to all who want some hands on when they visit Egypt.

Absolutely! A day trip from Cairo to Alexandria is convenient and well worth the journey. With Respect Egypt Tours, there is nothing for you to worry about. From transport to tours, there is no need to devote your energy to looking at the best of Alexandria, all in just one day.

Of course!

One day you will have a unique combination of sights, culture, history, and seaside beauty.

One can say that a perfect day is spent in Alexandria, where some of its highlights include the Alexandria National Museum, the Roman Amphitheater, a walk along the picturesque Corniche, and the Library of Alexandria. To finish your day, a nice seafood meal by the sea is the best option.

Both cities are fantastic, but they deliver different sorts of experiences. On one hand, we see Cairo with its beautiful spots such as the great pyramids and the Egyptian Museum. On the other, there is Alexandria, which is more laid back and offers Mediterranean charm and many historical sights. Seeing both allows you to experience the greatest of Egypt’s rich culture and traditions.

In essence, Respect Egypt Tours is dedicated to creating ‘wow’ moments that stand out in people's memories. Our day tour to Alexandria from Cairo features dedicated drivers and easy transportation, ensuring a hassle-free experience. With us, as you will see, Egypt is simply full of wonders and beauty.
