I'm Rasha, a passionate licensed tour guide with years of experience in the field, who loves to show the beauty of her country to visitors from around the world. I am a pretty flexible person who loves to adjust tours according to my clients' needs, and I have worked with different travel agencies as well. I believe that I definitely have the power to personally show how much I love what I do. With the support of ToursByLocals, I have the ability to perform my tours in a way that most travel companies don't usually allow for. You could say that I choose to deliver tours through my perspective, taking into account all the major sightseeing spots, but also adding my personal taste for the experience to " live like a local". This way I not only provide knowledge, but also joy to my clients. I can offer my tours in both English and German. I make sure that my clients are satisfied with my tours and I am quite flexible to add or change itineraries according to my client's convenience. I believe to be good photographer too! I will be happy to live this experience with you! I am a Licensed Professional Tour Guide since 2008 I'm a member of the EGTGS ( Egyptian Tour Guide Syndicate) I studied Tourism in Alexandria university, Egypt, with some other minors in Tour Guiding and a major in English literature. I'm not a guide-driver, I can join you in your vehicle or arrange for a car + driver to get us around. Apart from that, I don't have specific restrictions, I'll be happy to help you navigate Egypt and see whatever is possible within the tours we take.

This historical tour of the Old downtown of Alexandria, named as such due to being founded by Alexander the Great in 332 B. C, will let you have a chance to encounter the less visited, not as common must see spots, that other regular itineraries won't give you the chance to: a panoramic view of the old eastern city harbor, Saint Mark Cathedral's hidden galleries that not many know about, the biggest and oldest mosque in the city plus an optional local food experience. My city has a long history covering different timelines. You will be able to see local areas to see how the locals live and feel more "street smart" about how they feel and how they behave, plus the most important historical spots. Other things to note: This tour is mainly provided for guests who are staying in Alexandria during the time of their visit. The tour starts from your place of residence in Alexandria & ends up at the same place or a different one within the city, as you prefer. Feel free to contact me for customized arrangements.

Rasha gave us a wonderful tour of Alexandria, confirming with us what we wanted to see. She went out of her way to show us a few sites that we wanted to visit that are not on the standard list of places to see. She was very knowledgeable about what we were seeing and has a friendly, easygoing demeanor. We would not hesitate to use her guidance again.
Rasha was punctual in her arrival and her driver was very capable of navigating the city throughout the day. After giving us a history overview and explanation of each site we were visiting, Rasha was very considerate in allowing us time to investigate the sites on our own. She was very patient with all the questions we asked too. As well she explained the history of Alexandria giving us a very good timeline. We were more than satisfied with our tour with her. Do not even hesitate to book her for a tour, you won’t be disappointed.
Très intéressante visite d’Alexandrie
We really enjoyed our tour with Rasha. She and her driver were both very professional. She was careful to ask us for our preferences at every stop and even bought us water because we did not have Egyptian currency with us. I enjoyed her background and history information about the sights we saw and Egypt in general. I would highly recommend her.
Rasha was very knowledgeable about history and helpful. Also easily reached by whatsapp. Driver was also great navigating the busy streets of Alexandria. Alexandria is fascinating but the area outside the port is very hectic, so unless you are familiar with Egypt I highly recommend hiring a guide to make best use of your time.
1- Our first visit will be the catacombs of Kom-ElShuqafa. An underground tomb dating back to the 2rd century A. D ( a must-see). 2- The Pompey's pillar or better known as the Serapeum temple, dating back to the 2nd century B. C. which was primarily dedicated to the ancient main god of Alexandria. 3- The Roman amphitheater, dating back to 3rd century A. D. , a complete Roman Community. 4- A quick visit to the biggest Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in the city. (Saint Marks). 5- The Library of Alexandria. A modern library which was built close to the old one. Enjoy a visit to the place, have a look at the splendid design of the building, which is admired by many. Enjoy a visit to the library's free modern galleries too. 6- A visit to the Qeitbay Fort. An old fort from the 15th century A. D. that was built close to the ancient city's lighthouse location. 7- The Oldest & biggest mosque. After this, we'd go back to our starting point to finish the tour, unless you'd want to be left here or in a different place
