Planning your Alexandria tour

Which tour suits a first visit?
The city highlights route combines the Catacombs, Roman Theatre, library district and lunch. The longer archaeology and heritage route adds Montaza and old-city stops. Review each page for its ticket and meal arrangements.
Can I join from my cruise ship?
Choose a shore excursion and provide the ship, terminal, arrival and all-aboard times. Alexandria and El Dekheila are different pickup points. The final route needs an agreed return buffer.
Does the Alexander tour enter a tomb or excavation?
It is a guided history outing about Alexander and the search for his tomb. No identified tomb entry, exclusive dig access or excavation participation is included.
How are underwater visits arranged?
The dive team must confirm authorised sites, permits, conditions and participant suitability. The programme is by enquiry, and particular underwater remains cannot be guaranteed.
