Private Alexandria Day Tour from Alexandria Port

For cruise passengers who want to explore Alexandria itself, a private city tour covering the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, Pompey’s Pillar, Bibliotheca Alexandrina and Qaitbay Citadel is a strong choice. A private format also makes it easier to plan the sightseeing around your ship’s arrival and departure times.

A well-planned Alexandria shore excursion can include the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, Pompey’s Pillar, Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Qaitbay Citadel and views of Mediterranean Alexandria before returning to the cruise port.

The exact duration depends on your cruise ship schedule, port pickup time, traffic and the confirmed itinerary. Because the main sightseeing is in Alexandria, the tour generally requires much less long-distance road travel than a Cairo or Giza shore excursion.

Yes. This Alexandria city tour is designed as a private shore excursion, with private transportation and sightseeing arranged for your booking rather than as a large shared group tour.

The meeting point is arranged according to your cruise ship’s docking location and the current port access rules. Your exact pickup instructions should be confirmed before the tour so you know where to meet the driver or representative after disembarking.

Entrance-ticket inclusions depend on the exact tour option you book. Attractions are covered only when their entrance tickets are specifically listed as included in your confirmed booking details, so check the final inclusions before departure.

A private Egyptologist guide is included when stated in your confirmed tour package. The guide helps explain Alexandria’s Greco-Roman, Egyptian and later historical layers at the main archaeological and cultural stops.

Lunch depends on the tour option selected. Check your confirmed booking inclusions to see whether lunch is included and whether drinks or additional orders are charged separately.

Yes. The Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa can be included in an Alexandria city itinerary and are one of the city’s most important Greco-Roman archaeological attractions.

Yes, Bibliotheca Alexandrina can be part of the itinerary. The exact type of visit and access should follow the confirmed program and the site’s operating conditions on your tour date.

Qaitbay Citadel can be included as one of the main Alexandria sightseeing stops. Confirm the final itinerary and ticket inclusions for your selected tour option before departure.

The shore excursion is planned around your cruise ship’s scheduled departure, with the return to Alexandria Port built into the itinerary. Traffic, port procedures and unexpected delays can occur, so responsible planning should include appropriate return buffer time rather than an absolute time guarantee.

Yes. One of the main advantages of a private Alexandria shore excursion is that the sightseeing order and time at stops can be adjusted around your ship’s arrival and departure schedule when necessary.

Choose Alexandria if you prefer less time on the road, more local sightseeing, Greco-Roman history and a more relaxed cruise day. Choose the Pyramids if seeing Giza and the Great Sphinx is your main priority, especially on a first visit to Egypt.
