For a twist on the usual sightseeing experience, take a night tour of Alexandria to admire its illuminated monuments and landmarks while listening to stories about ghosts, myths, and legends.
Tour Details
Alexandria offers many activities, but I have decided to offer a view of the city from a different perspective: exploring its dark side! We will first meet at the entrance of the Citadel of Qaitbay, a part of Alexandria that has always been shrouded in mystery. There, you will hear about the turbulent history of the city's major dark moments and the ancient houses nearby.
Next, we will explore the charming and ever-green Montazah Park, which in the distant past was one of the city's most royal places. We will then continue through a maze of old streets in the historic center and finally enter the Old City.
Along the way, we will see different historical sites, some of which are said to be haunted, while others are known for dark tales or legends. This is a fully narrated walk, so expect to hear many stories, followed by the immersive atmosphere of an evening stroll through some of the lesser-known parts of the city.
