The tour starts at 17:00 with pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza by a Tix & Trips Egypt Tours professional guide. Your private air-conditioned vehicle will transfer you to Alexandria, approximately 220 km away, arriving around 20:00. Your evening begins at the Stanley Bridge, one of Alexandria's most iconic landmarks. Illuminated beautifully at night, the bridge offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and the Alexandria Corniche, making it a perfect location for evening photography. Next, stroll along the Corniche, Alexandria's beloved waterfront promenade stretching several kilometres along the sea. By night, the Corniche comes alive with locals and visitors enjoying the fresh sea breeze and the dazzling reflections of city lights on the water. Continue to the Montaza Palace and its Royal Gardens, a stunning Ottoman and Florentine-style royal summer residence built in 1892. The palace grounds at night are magical, with lit pathways leading through manicured gardens that overlook the glittering Mediterranean. Head to the impressive Citadel of Qaitbay, a 15th-century fortification built by Sultan Qaitbay on the exact site where the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, once stood. At night, the floodlit citadel rises dramatically above the Eastern Harbour, reflecting in the dark waters below. Finish the evening with an authentic Alexandria seafood dinner at a local restaurant, savouring fresh catches of the day in the style that has made Alexandria famous throughout Egypt. On the way back, pass by the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the modern reincarnation of the Great Library of the ancient world, its circular exterior dramatically lit against the night sky. Your guide will transfer you back to Cairo, arriving approximately 02:00.
