Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, Alexandria is a city that carries the weight of empires with effortless Mediterranean grace. Unlike the desert landscapes of Upper Egypt, Alexandria offers a breezy, cosmopolitan atmosphere where Greco-Roman ruins sit alongside belle-époque architecture and modern cultural marvels.
Strolling along the 15-kilometer Corniche, you’ll feel the city’s unique rhythm—a blend of ancient intellectual glory and a vibrant, modern coastal lifestyle. Alexandria is a city for the curious traveler: one who wants to explore underground catacombs in the morning, visit a world-class library in the afternoon, and end the day with a fresh seafood feast overlooking a 15th-century fortress.
At TourzStore.com, we bridge the gap between Alexandria’s legendary past and its luxurious present. We don’t just show you the sites; we immerse you in the "Alex" vibe with expert storytelling and seamless logistics.
A tribute to the original Great Library of antiquity, this stunning disc-shaped building is a global hub for culture and science.
Built on the exact site of the ancient Pharos Lighthouse (one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World), this limestone fortress has stood against the waves since 1477.
Descend into the largest Roman burial site in Egypt. This three-tier spiral of tombs showcases a fascinating "fusion" style, where Roman and Greek art blend with ancient Egyptian religious symbols.
Escape the city bustle in 150 acres of lush, royal gardens. Originally a summer retreat for Egypt's royal family, the grounds feature palm groves, Mediterranean pines, and secluded coves. While the palace itself is a regal landmark, the gardens are the perfect place for a sunset walk.

The "sweet spot" is Spring (March–May) and Autumn (September–November). The weather is mild (20°C–25°C), the humidity is low, and the city gardens are in full bloom. Summer (June–August) is lively and popular with locals, while Winter (December–February) can be rainy but offers a romantic, misty vibe.
Yes! It is one of our most popular tours. The drive takes about 2.5 to 3 hours. A TourzStore.com private day trip allows you to see the Catacombs, Pompey's Pillar, the Citadel, and the Library, all while enjoying a luxury seafood lunch, returning you to Cairo by sunset.
Alexandria is a cosmopolitan city, but it is more traditional than the Red Sea resorts. We recommend "resort casual"—breathable fabrics are great, but it’s best to keep shoulders and knees covered when visiting mosques or historical sites. Don't forget comfortable walking shoes for the Citadel and Catacombs!
While the ruins are submerged in the Eastern Harbor, they are primarily accessible to experienced divers. However, you can see many of the statues and artifacts recovered from the sea at the Alexandria National Museum and the Bibliotheca Antiquities Museum, both of which are included in our standard tours.
Absolutely. Alexandria is a safe, welcoming city with a dedicated Tourist Police force. As with any major city, we recommend staying with a guide in crowded market areas to avoid minor scams and to ensure you find the highest quality souvenirs and food.
