Can't recommend this tour enough - I did something smart and booked this Alexandria tour with Lastminute. The Roman Theater was my first stop with an admission fee of 200 pounds. I spent 35 minutes there because I wanted to save energy for the library. The library fee was 100 pounds and I stayed two hours reading titles in the main hall. The atmosphere inside the library was peaceful and grand. Crowd size was large but quiet. Staff at the information desk showed me a first edition book from the 1800s. Best for friends who love books and old buildings together. I have a funny story from the library elevator. My friend pressed the wrong button and we ended up in a staff only area. A librarian smiled and said you found the secret room. Then she gave us free bookmarks. We laughed all the way out. The castle later was windy and beautiful. Can't recommend this tour enough.

awesome day in alexandria! - It was a great day in Alexandria. Selma did an excellent job sharing the history of his city. Seeing the catacombs was both haunting and fascinating getting to see the excavation site. We saw the old Sanctuary and Library along with the Pompey's Pillar. The Qaitbay Citadel was the highlight with the amazing views from inside the castle and the surrounding ocean. We capped the day with a wonderful fish meal on the coast.

Perfect day - The time passed as if it was a minute or a moment, because I did not really notice the time. The trip was very interesting. It was to the Roman theater in Alexandria. The guide Mahmoud accompanied us, explaining to us all the information about the Roman theater, and his information was very useful.
