Cairo to Alexandria Day Trip with Seafood Lunch

This full-day excursion, listed on GetYourGuide and run by a Cairo-based tour operator, transports travelers by round-trip vehicle from Cairo to Alexandria and back over roughly twelve hours, making it a long day best suited to the cooler months between October and April. An English-speaking guide accompanies the group for the full itinerary, which combines sightseeing with a seafood lunch. In Alexandria, the group typically visits the Qaitbay Citadel, a fifteenth-century fort built on the site of the ancient Pharos lighthouse at the harbour mouth, and the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, a Roman-era underground necropolis blending Egyptian, Greek, and Roman funerary styles. The seafood lunch is served at a restaurant along the Corniche, Alexandria's seafront promenade, and typically features grilled or fried Mediterranean fish, calamari, and shrimp alongside Egyptian sides such as rice, salads, and bread. Included in the price are round-trip transportation from a Cairo hotel, the English-speaking guide, the seafood lunch, and entrance to the two named sites; not included are additional food or drink beyond the included lunch, personal expenses, and gratuities for the driver and guide. Because the trip spans a full day of travel plus sightseeing, the pace is fuller than a typical half-day food tour, with limited free time built into the schedule. The tour runs as a group excursion rather than a private booking, so group size can vary by date. Vegetarian or dietary-restricted travelers should notify the operator in advance, since the included lunch is seafood-based and substitutions at the restaurant may be limited.
