What to bring
    • Comfortable walking shoes: Essential for navigating uneven terrain at historical sites like the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa and the Citadel of Qaitbay.
    • Sun protection: A wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and high-SPF sunscreen to guard against the strong Mediterranean sun.
    • A light jacket or sweater: The coastal breeze in Alexandria can make the city significantly cooler than Cairo, particularly in the mornings, evenings, or during the winter months.
    • Modest clothing: Items covering shoulders and knees, or a scarf, which are necessary if the itinerary includes entry to religious sites like the Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi Mosque.
    • Camera and power bank: To capture the coastal scenery and the striking modern architecture of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina without running out of battery.
    • Refillable water bottle: To stay hydrated during the long day trip and transit.
    • Local currency (EGP): Small denominations for purchasing local street snacks, souvenirs, or for tipping.
    • Credit or debit card: Essential for purchasing entry tickets to major attractions and archaeological sites (like the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa and the Citadel of Qaitbay), as the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities has transitioned to a strictly cashless ticketing system. Cash is no longer accepted at the ticket counters.
