Adel was so good. We only expected him to stay a few hours, but he gave us all day. We got taxis and Ubers and he ordered us an Uber to take us to Fort Qaitby at the end of the day. We learned how cheap taxis are in Egypt which has stood us in good stead for the remainder of our time here. We also learned that we are only able to pay for admission to public buildings using a card, not cash! Adel told us in advance to bring our passports so we could enter St Michaels (well worth it), so great communication from start to end :-)

Abdel is a local guide and he knows very well the story of his city and Egypt. He speks good english. He is very reliable. Very good guide

This should be labeled "A Day in the life of an Alexandrian". We walked all over Alexandria, but mostly through the neighborhoods that we NEVER would have gone by ourselves! We got to experience the non-tourist side of the city, including public minibuses, local neighborhoods, tourist sites and specialty foods. It was listed at 4 hours duration, but we were with him for 5 1/2 until we crumbled. He was still energetic and wanted to show us more, but we were exhausted. He treated us like family or good friends visiting his city. He's a warm and sweet individual. My only suggestion is do this tour in the morning, if possible, because it gets dark now at 5ish and sites close at 4-7. Definitely worthwhile!
