The Real Alexandria as A True Local Tour

Live like an Alexandrian for a day with Egy Tours’ The Real Alexandria As A True Local Tour, an off-the-beaten-path adventure into the city’s vibrant neighborhoods, culinary hotspots, and timeless traditions. This cultural immersion tour is perfect for travelers craving authentic interactions beyond standard tourist trails.

Start your day in Midan Tahrir, Alexandria’s bustling square, where your Egy Tours guide—a born-and-raised local—will introduce you to street vendors selling *ful medames* (fava beans) and *koshari* (a hearty pasta dish). Wander through the El Attarine District, a spice market fragrant with cumin, saffron, and dried hibiscus, and bargain for hand-blown glassware at Souk El Gomla.

Pause for a *ahwa* (coffee) break at a 100-year-old café, where regulars play backgammon and debate politics. Then, hop on a vintage tram to Mandara, a seaside suburb, to join fishermen mending nets and sample *sayadeya* (spiced fish stew) at a hidden *taverna*. Cap the day with a sunset stroll along the Corniche, where families gather to fly kites and share stories against the backdrop of the Mediterranean.
