Alexandria is worth a day

Interesting visit to the castle and the old underground library in addition to the New with a collection of printing presses from several different centuries. And worth visiting the Egyptian-Roman catacombs.

Alexandria day trip

Mr. Ahmed was great company on our day trip to Alexandria. He was accommodating to our request to leave a little later as we just arrived to the country. He had great knowledge of the city of Alexandria and the general history of Egypt. We had great fun and he watched my kids like a grandpa!
