Alexandria Tour - I can confidently say that it was one of the highlights of my trip to Egypt. Our first stop was the Alexandria library which is stunning architecture and impressive collection of books. We also visited the catacombs, our guide haytham provided a fascinating account of the history of the catacombs. We also visited the Pompey pillar and the citadel of qaitbay which offered breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. Throughout the day our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging and he went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable experience.
