Remarkable tour to Alexandria - I booked Mr Ahmed Nour El Din earlier for Pyramid tour and I was so amused by his knowledge, nature or charm etc. that I booked him again for this tour as well. Since I was very much comfortable with him earlier, it felt like a friend is guiding me to places and want to convey as much information he could. The Catacomb was so enormous cemetery and my tour guide explained very well that how the system in old times used to work. The Roman Amphitheatre again was phenomenal. It would have been useless to not hire a tour guide. And a guy like Ahmed, I totally envy his knowledge. We had a great lunch together. And lastly was the Alexandria Library. That was one of the top-notch libraries I have ever seen in my life. I recommend this tour for sure to anyone. And the Tour Guide? Well why would you not like to go with a PhD graduate?! :D

Some lovely sights - I really enjoyed my tour of Alexandria, and my tour guide Mohamed Assure was very accommodating, and knowledgeable about the sites. It is a long drive, and absolutely not a criticism of the tour or the guide; but the policy at the catacombs is no cameras, although you can take your phone and take photos all day. Obviously an outdated policy on the part of the site, that should be updated.
