Alexandria Day Tours & Excursions

Unveil the enchanting blend of ancient history and Mediterranean allure with Kemerya Tours’ private Alexandria day trips and excursions. Founded by Alexander the Great, Alexandria serves as Egypt’s storied window to the Greco-Roman world, boasting subterranean wonders, sea-facing fortresses, and world-class cultural institutions.

Our private Alexandria tours provide ultimate convenience and comfort. Whether you are arriving on a cruise ship at Alexandria Port, staying locally along the Corniche, or taking a scenic day trip from Cairo via private highway transfer, we manage every detail. Travel in modern, air-conditioned private vehicles accompanied by your dedicated driver and licensed senior Egyptologist guide.

Explore the multi-level Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, marvel at Pompey's Pillar, and walk the ramparts of the 15th-century Citadel of Qaitbay—built on the exact site of the ancient Pharos Lighthouse. Complete your journey with a visit to the ultra-modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina and enjoy authentic fresh seafood along the Mediterranean coast—all backed by direct local operator pricing and zero middleman markups.
