From the Cairo desk
Tour Overview
Catacombs, Qaitbay, library court, and Montazah, timed to the gangway. This itinerary is "Alexandria City from the Port". Named stops: Kom el-Shoqafa, Qaitbay, Bibliotheca court, Montazah.
You are already on the coast. No Cairo road. The day stays inside Alexandria.
Qaitbay stands on the old Pharos line: a Mamluk fortress in salt air, not Cairo dust. The Bibliotheca Alexandrina is a modern court of light by the sea — the reading rooms and the plaza, not the vanished ancient stacks.
"Alexandria City from the Port" is built backwards from all-aboard. Approx. 6 Hrs, private car, gangway meet — not a shared coach.
Private means your party only. Empty seats are not filled with strangers, and shops not named on this page are not added at the gate.
There is no online checkout for "Alexandria City from the Port". Send dates, hotel or ship, and party size; we reply from Downtown Cairo with an outline and a quote for this itinerary.
Your guide waits at the gangway. The day is built backwards from your all-aboard, not from a coach timetable.
