We were looking forward to an overnight since we thought we would see more things. Wrong. The guide did not speak very good english and the driver did not speak any english. Several items were not covered from the agenda. We think the guide had her own agenda including attending a wedding that night. The guide's idea of a "visit" seem to be a drive-by but we expressed our displeasure and went back to certain sites. At the end of the trip the guide told us she would remain in Alexandria so we went back to Cairo (to the wrong hotel) with a non-English speaking driver and finally arrived at the correct hotel two hours after the expected time. The driver was a good driver. This is about the only positive thing I can say about the trip. I do not recommend it or at least confirm every detail including whether the guide speaks good English.
