Perfect Ending to Our Cruise - My husband and I were on a cruise that stopped in Alexandria. We had researched the sites we wanted to visit and had planned on going around on our own. We contacted Viator to hire a driver to take us around to the sites. We received directions to meet our driver outside the gate of the cruise terminal at 9:00. We arrived about 8:30 and Mostapha Kamal was already there waiting for us. He was friendly and spoke English really well. We told him the sites we wanted to visit and he explained that he was also a guide. First, we visited the Kom Al Shokafa Catacombs. We soon realized how lucky we were to have Mostapha as a guide. He took us though the site telling us a lot of information and giving us plenty of time to take pictures and to spend some time on our own. We never felt rushed. It was an amazing place. Next, we visited Pompey’s Pillar. We had read about it, but never realized until we saw it how massive it is. Our next stop was the Roman Amphitheater, the Roman Baths and the Villa of the Birds. We spent quite a bit of time here with Mostapha pointing out the history and some unique information about the sites. Our next stop was the Alexandria Library. It was amazing. The architecture alone is stunning. It’s not just library but is a museum and is full of art. Our final destination was the Citadel of Qaitbay. It’s very impressive with beautiful views of the Mediterranean Sea and the city. We felt very fortunate to have had Mostapha as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to take pictures. My husband and I had originally planned to visit these sites on our own. We have done a lot of traveling through the years and found that we actually see more with a small group or on our own. However, we are so glad we decided to book a driver who was also a guide because of the traffic congestion in the city. We highly recommend Mostapha as a guide. If we return to Egypt we would definitely contact him again. It was a very reasonable price especially when you compare it to what the cruise ships charge for an excursion.

Day tour of Alexandria - This was my first visit to Alexandria and I booked a day tour of the city. Mostapha had great knowledge and enthusiasm . He also brought a long a driver who was very calm and excellent at dropping us off and picking us up from the sights without any waiting around. This made the tour very smooth and enjoyable. I was also interested in the local culture and architecture so Mostopha tailored this in to the trip experience too. Would definitely recommend him as your guide for Alexandria.

The best tour guide experience in Egypt! - A great day out for our whole family. Mustapha was honest, friendly, and we learned so much interesting information from him. He did a great job of keeping our children engaged. We will be recommending his tours to anyone we know coming to Alexandria. He took some incredible photos of us throughout the day also.
