Alexandria Day Tours : a different Egypt—coastal, Mediterranean, and refreshingly varied.
Alexandria is the perfect contrast to Cairo. The pace feels different, the air feels different, and the history shifts from pharaonic to Greco-Roman and coastal Egypt. A strong Alexandria day tour isn’t about squeezing in every stop—it’s about building a clean route that blends key attractions with time to actually feel the city.
Amon Travel arranges Alexandria day tours as private day trips (our main format) with small-group options where suitable, plus guided sightseeing when a guide is included in the itinerary. We support you during your booked services with 24/7 assistance.

Bibliotheca Alexandrina
A modern cultural icon linked to Alexandria’s intellectual legacy—ideal for travelers who want something beyond temples and pyramids.
Qaitbay Citadel (Fortress)
One of Alexandria’s most photogenic spots on the waterfront—history and views in a single, high-impact stop.
Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa
A standout site for travelers who like depth—an unusual blend of Egyptian, Greek and Roman influences.
Pompey’s Pillar & Serapeum area (optional)
A solid add-on for context and variety—works best when used to balance the route, not overload it.
Corniche sea-front time (optional)
Alexandria is also about atmosphere—strategic sea-front time makes the day feel less “checklist” and more real.

FAQ – Alexandria day tours (unique)
Yes—Alexandria delivers a different “feel” and a different historical layer, which makes your overall trip more varied and memorable.
Citadel + Catacombs + one cultural stop (often the Library) with a short sea-front segment tends to work best.
Yes, but it’s a full day. If you prefer a softer pace, staying overnight in Alexandria can be the better choice.
