Alexandria City tour was hosted a local guide, Mohammed. He had a lot of knowledge and insight of his home city and provided information that only a local resident would know. We toured the King and Queen castles, the first Church in Egypt for Christian religion, the Catacombs and burial grounds of the Royal, an amazing Muslim Temple. As our day progressed we shopped for gifts and souvenirs. Then we had a wonderful lunch at Barzino’s Restaurant with a surprise birthday cake for me. If you’re EVER in the city of Alex make sure to book your tour with Sphinx Egypt Tours
We had an absolutely amazing time on our excursion! The highlight was definitely Kareem.
He was not just knowledgeable, but warm, enthusiastic, and genuinely cared about making sure everyone had a fantastic experience.
Everything was smooth, well organized, and engaging from start to finish. I would highly recommend this trip, especially if you get Kareem as your tour guide. You will not be disappointed! With Sphinx Egypt Tours
