Description
Explore how the Mediterranean Sea was during historical times: Opportunity to Create Unique Photos on Your Visit to Egypt
Immerse yourself in the Ptolemaic era, Greek & Roman period, and Byzantine durations.
In this guided tour with an expert tour guide (with experience of at least 15 years—this tour guide knows everything about Alexandria’s culture and history, knowing well how to make you create the best memories ever with outstanding photos), you arrive at Alexandria by private air-conditioned vehicle.
Meet the Mediterranean Sea and Pompey’s Pillar; let your tour guide uncover why this pillar is called by this name and the mysteries of its pharaonic stones in the Roman era! What about those pharaonic statues?! Then move to the Greek times in the Serapis Temple directly next to Pompey’s Pillar.
The unique mix of the eras in Alexandria is waiting for you in one place that combines all these times, including the Pharaonic eras, wandering amid the Catacombs of Kom El Shokafa while teeming with decorations from the Pharaonic, Roman, and Greek times.
Amazing photos that enrich your life memories will be taken when going down to the depths of these catacombs, up to 25 meters, amid those dazzling decorations of the Pharaonic, Roman, and Greek gods.
Uncover the mummification process through the Roman eras, and then move on to the guided tour of the Alexandria Library.
Embark on a guided, cozy tour that takes you to view the waves while touching the strongest citadel built in the Middle Ages; it is a dazzling site, Qaitbay Citadel, that will make you create your memories in the heart of the historical Mediterranean Sea.
Experience a fresh fish lunch with me on the Mediterranean Sea.

A very beautiful experience which made our stay in Egypt unforgettable; Luxor with a caring guide and Cairo with Ismaël; a very cultured guide who listens to the happiness of customers.
I would recommend this agency without hesitation
The luxor 2 day trip was amazing. We have young children who struggled at times, but the guide and driver were fantastic. Everyone enjoyed the historical sites, and the hot air balloon ride was incredible. I would definitely recommend this trip and this company.
We went in the Safari and Paradise Island boat trip. Both were very well organised, great activities and the transfer made by driver was on time!
I recommend especially the Paradise Island trip! The views on the island are amazing and the boat trip until there has such grest service on the boat (snorkeling, lunch, drinks).
We arranged the tour a few weeks in advance before arriving in Egypt. Akram presented us with a complete private tour program, starting in Hurghada, visiting Cairo, the Black and White deserts, Alexandria and finally returning to Hurghada.
Everything run smoothly, from the different drivers, who picked us up and dropped us off, always punctual and safe (especially Hamada, 'Medo'!) to the guides, in particular Reeham in Cairo who was just outstanding and Ahmed in the desert tour who welcomed us in his home together with his family before taking us and preparing our dinner in the desert!
The overnight stays were all planned in great detail.
It was definitely an incredible experience during these 4 days!
A huge thank you to Akram!
Where do I start!!! A massive thankyou to Mr Akram and his team for creating amazing excursions giving you memorable experiences.
Right from the beginning, communication with Mr Akram was so professional, he attends to all your needs by listening to what it is you want to get out of your excursions and creates these amazing moments of a life time, all with the great connections he has. Nothing is too much of a hassle for Mr Akram, he answered all my questions thoroughly before I arrived.
Mr Akram showed me and my friend Hurghada City and bought us drinks, which was a lovely gesture for getting to know each other.
We went on two excursions whilst we were in Hurghada, one to Cairo and the other Luxor. Our hired car was very modern, clean and had AC, which gave us a great first impression.
A big shout out to our driver Hamada- what an amazing job he does, not enough credit is given. He drove so professionally and made us feel safe the entire time we were in his company.
A big shout out to Mushy our tour guide, what vast information she holds, absolutely amazing with great historical knowledge. She really gives you detailed information and takes her time explaining the finer details to you.
Overall our whole experience was amazing, many laughs along the way, many memories to treasure. Nothing is too much hassle for these lovely people, Mr Akram always made sure we were ok and enjoyed our experiences by checking in on us.
Drinks were always topped up ensuring we were hydrated all the time whilst on our tours.
If your thinking of booking with Palma tours, don't think just book, you will not regret it, right from the first communication you make with Mr Akram, things run so smoothly that's its literally stress free for when you arrive.
I can't thank Mr Akram, Hamada and Mushy enough, these three deserve well over 5 stars, and I'm already looking at my next trip for next year and I'm 1000% booking with yourselves again and Mushy and Hamada you'll be the people I'll be looking to hire again. Much love from Jill and Sobia (UK)
Really great day out, Akram , knowledgeable and fun,Akram was good company. A really excellent itinerary and experience, with all the hassle taken out and a lot of positives added in. Highly recommended to everyone!
