Alexandria is a vibrant coastal city on the shores of the Mediterranean. We arrange your round-trip transport and your hotel accommodation. While in Alex, you also enjoy a guided afternoon tour of the new and excellent Alexandria Museum and there is time for an optional visit with your guide to the Roman Catacombs and the amphitheatre if you wish. You then have a free day to relax on your own, check out the famous coffee houses, or take an optional tour to El Alamein. Your trip ends on arrival back in Cairo.

What's It Like?

Gecko's adventures offer authentic experiences and a genuine alternative to backpacking. Our trips are designed for younger travelers on a budget but do include the entrance fees to the ‘must see’ sights while not wasting your money on unnecessary frills. Itineraries utilize public transport and basic twin share accommodations in small locally owned hotels, the occasional multi-share, or simply floor space in a jungle or village hut. Many trips involve some physical activity, the occasional long traveling day and you will need to carry your own bags. On camping trips, meals are freshly prepared by our camp cook, but expect to put up and take down your tent, and assist with camp chores. On all trips we only use local tour leaders who are passionate about their homeland. This is travel, grassroots style - basic but rewarding.

Included:

• Round-trip transportation Cairo-Alexandria-Cairo by private vehicle.

• Tour of Alexandria Museum with Gecko’s expert English-speaking local site guide.

• The services of Gecko’s local site guide in arranging other optional excursions.

International flights, arrival & departure transfers, entrance fees, visas, airport taxes, additional meals, drinks, optional sightseeing tours, insurance, tips and items of a personal nature.

This trip operates for a minimum of one person and is not accompanied by a tour guide. It must be booked in conjunction with another tour of six days or more.
