Mon mari et moi avons passé une superbe expérience avec Vialala et Damien ! Nous avons passé 10 jours aux États-Unis. Vols + Hôtel + location de voiture + matchs NFL. Ils ont réalisé mon rêve de voir des matchs NFL avec mes équipes préférées en étant au plus proche des joueurs. Damien a su comprendre nos envies et créer un voyage sur mesure, parfaitement adapté à nos attentes. Je recommande vivement ! Emanuel et Christelle

Première expérience Vialala pour nous avec Xavier pour notre Road Trip de découverte de la corse. Xavier à été très impliqué, disponible, et à l'écoute. Il nous à monté un super projet; a su le modifier au besoin lorsque nous avons rajouté un voyageur. Nous étions en contact tout le temps du séjour. Le circuit à été programmé, les hébergements, les vols, la locations des voitures ainsi que les visites et randos ! Programme complet. Mention ++ pour la rapidité de réponse. C'est une expérience que nous pourrions réitérer. MERCI

Première expérience pour nous avec Vialala, et pas des moindres puisque nous avons fait un road trip à travers l'Italie avec nos enfants. Natacha nous a concocté un voyage aux petits oignons, adapté à notre demande et à l'âge de nos enfants. Tout était adapté et parfait : les villes visitées, la durée, les monuments sélectionnés, les transports. Bref aucune fausse note et quel gain de temps et d'énergie pour nous. Plus qu'à se laisser porter et visiter ce magnifique pays en famille. Nous recommandons sans hésiter.

Un immense merci à Vialala pour ce road trip incroyable. L’itinéraire nous a fait découvrir de véritables pépites locales tout en nous offrant les paysages spectaculaires du Maroc. Tout s est très bien passé. Au delà de nos attentes ! C'est rare de trouver ce niveau de personnalisation et d’attention ….On rentre avec des étoiles plein les yeux et des souvenirs qui resteront gravés. Une organisation avec du cœur et une vraie expertise locale ! On pense déjà au voyage de l année prochaine !

Update - May 2026 : nouvelle experience plus que réussie. Pour faire simple Vialala = personnalisation + expertise + service + prix malins. Je ne compte plus les voyages avec eux. À la liste précédente s’ajoutent la Sicile, New York et le Japon. Cette fois-ci, je reviens d’un road trip en Harley et 4x4 au Maroc. À huit. Nous avons tout eu du B&B improbable à Tafraoute au palace à Marrakech, cols de l’Atlas, Anti Atlas. Que des conseils de malade que ce soit les itinéraires ou les bonnes adresses. Cahier des charges compliqué, logistique compliquée et le tout à été délivré sans accrocs dans un budget serré. J’adore leur approche. Pas un télé opérateur qui vend des produits, c’est comme un ami qui aurait vécu sur place. (Revue 2023) Vialala nous a fait découvrir Cuba, l’Ecosse, Montréal et bientôt le Botswana. A chaque fois ils ont été au top. La grosse différence c’est le niveau de personnalisation qui avoisine un service de conciergerie. On ne s’arrête pas à un programme avec eux. Si le temps change et que telle activité n’est plus possible, leur trip planner est là pour revoir le programme. Si on a besoin d’un service logistique ou d’un conseil pour un resto une fois sur place c’est pareil. Franchement une super formule. Merci

Alexandria deserves more than just a day trip from Cairo. This metropolis of 5.2 million inhabitants, Egypt's second largest city, reveals its secrets to those who take the time to tame it. Custom travel allows you to explore at your own pace this ancient city where 2,300 years of history mix, from its foundation by Alexander the Great in 331 BC.
Unlike conventional tours, your custom stay in Alexandria is tailored to your interests. Passionate about archaeology? We focus on ancient sites and museums. Love architecture? We explore the cosmopolitan neighborhoods with European influences from the 19th century. Epicurean? We discover Mediterranean cuisine in the best restaurants along the corniche.
This personalized approach reveals an authentic Alexandria, off the beaten path. Our local Travel Planners know the peak times of major sites, the secret addresses of local artisans, and the best viewpoints over the Mediterranean. They transform your travel project into a unique experience, paced according to your preferences.
The advantage of custom travel to Alexandria also lies in its flexibility. You can combine your discovery with other Egyptian destinations: an extension in Cairo to visit the pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum, a getaway to the Siwa Oasis 300 kilometers to the west, or an exploration of the Coptic monasteries of Wadi Natroun.
Alexandria offers an exceptional heritage richness, a fruit of its tumultuous history and its strategic position between East and West. Your custom trip unveils the multiple facets of this legendary city.
The new library of Alexandria stands as the modern emblem of the city. Inaugurated in 2002, this cultural complex covering 85,000 square meters pays tribute to the ancient library that made the city shine in antiquity. Its collections hold more than 8 million works, and its main reading room can accommodate 2,000 people under a spectacular skylight.
The catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, discovered in 1900, represent one of the most fascinating archaeological sites in Egypt. These underground necropolises from the 2nd century reflect the cultural syncretism of Alexandrian blending Pharaonic, Greek, and Roman influences on three levels carved into limestone.
The Qaitbay Citadel, erected in the 15th century by the Mamluk sultan of the same name, stands exactly on the site of the legendary lighthouse of Alexandria. This fortress of 17,000 square meters, built with the stones of the former world wonder, offers an exceptional panorama over the eastern bay.
The Roman theater of Kom El Dikka, unique in Egypt, could accommodate 800 spectators. Its white marble grandstands and multicolored mosaics reflect the artistic refinement of the Ptolemaic era.
Your custom trip to Alexandria also reveals the cosmopolitan soul of the city, inherited from its past as a Mediterranean commercial crossroads. The European district, developed in the 19th century under the reign of Mohamed Ali, retains magnificent Belle Époque facades along the corniche.
The 30 kilometers of waterfront offer an exceptional promenade, dotted with historic cafes like the Trianon or Brazil, witnesses of the time when Alexandria attracted an international bourgeoisie. These century-old establishments retain their original decor and yesteryear's atmosphere.
The Anfoushi fish market immerses your senses in Mediterranean hustle. Every morning, fishermen unload their catch in this popular district with narrow streets, where Greek, Italian, and Arabic dialects resound, relics of the city's cosmopolitan past.
The Montazah Gardens, the former summer residence of the royal family, span 150 hectares facing the sea. These green spaces house the Al-Montazah Palace, built in 1892 in an architectural style that blends Ottoman and Florentine influences.
Vialala transforms your desire to discover Alexandria into a personalized trip through the expertise of our local Travel Planners and our custom approach.
Our Alexandrian Travel Planners possess an intimate knowledge of their hometown. They master the historical subtleties of ancient sites, know the best French-speaking Egyptologist guides, and maintain privileged relationships with local cultural institutions.
This local expertise translates into exclusive experiences: privileged access to the reserves of the Greco-Roman museum, meetings with archaeologists at underwater dig sites, tastings with olive oil producers from Lake Mariout, or traditional felucca sailing in the eastern port.
Our Travel Planners tailor each day according to your preferences and the weather. The frequent north winds in summer can make coastal site visits less enjoyable: they then favor air-conditioned museums or sheltered city center neighborhoods.
Their professional network ensures quality services: experienced drivers for excursions to Lake Nasser or the Siwa Oasis, authentic restaurants away from tourist traps, and charming accommodations in restored Ottoman palaces.
Your custom trip to Alexandria revolves around your specific interests. History enthusiasts enjoy a comprehensive program including recent digs in the Ptolemaic royal quarter, the remnants of the Serapeum, and the collections of the national museum.
For architecture enthusiasts, we organize thematic tours: Belle Époque villas in the Ramleh district, Ottoman mosques in the historic center, the Eliyahu Hanavi Synagogue witnessing the Sephardic Jewish community, or Coptic Orthodox churches.
Gourmets discover Alexandrian cuisine, a unique Mediterranean fusion blending Greek, Italian, Lebanese, and Egyptian influences. We organize cooking classes in private homes, visits to spice markets, and tastings in the best fish restaurants on the corniche.
Your stay can also extend beyond Alexandria. A day trip to the monasteries of Wadi Natroun, 100 kilometers south, reveals the origins of Christian monasticism. The Monastery of Saint Macarius, founded in the 4th century, preserves exceptional frescoes and a library of Coptic manuscripts.
The Siwa Oasis, a four-hour drive away, offers a striking contrast to Alexandria's Mediterranean ambiance. This Berber oasis of 33,000 inhabitants, famous for its oracle consulted by Alexander the Great, reveals its palm groves, hot springs, and ancient traditions.
The Mediterranean climate of Alexandria provides favorable conditions for most of the year, but certain periods optimize your travel experience.
| Period | Temperatures | Conditions | Advantages |
|---|---|---|---|
| March-May | 18-26°C | Ideal | Perfect climate, less crowded sites |
| June-August | 22-30°C | Warm | Beach season, cultural festivals |
| Sept-Nov | 20-28°C | Excellent | Still warm sea, golden light |
| Dec-Feb | 12-20°C | Cool | Advantageous rates, authenticity |
Spring (March-May) is the ideal time for your custom trip to Alexandria. Temperatures range from 18 to 26°C, precipitation remains rare (less than 20 mm per month), and the north winds refresh the atmosphere pleasantly. This season offers the best conditions to explore the archaeological sites and wander through the historic neighborhoods.
Alexandrian summer (June-August) charms with its relative mildness compared to the rest of Egypt. While Cairo swelters under 40°C, Alexandria benefits from Mediterranean breezes that keep temperatures around 30°C. This period corresponds to the local beach season, when Cairenes flock to their second homes.
Autumn (September-November) prolongs the fine season with still mild temperatures and a sea at 24°C. The golden light of this period beautifies the ocher facades of the corniche and creates a particularly photogenic atmosphere.
Alexandrian winter (December-February) remains mild with highs around 20°C, but precipitation increases (60 mm in January). This season suits travelers seeking the authenticity of a less touristy city and more advantageous rates.
Our Travel Planners adjust your program according to the chosen season. In summer, they prioritize morning visits to outdoor sites and afternoons in air-conditioned museums. In winter, they take advantage of the relative mildness to organize excursions to the inland.
To request a personalized quote, our experts analyze your climate preferences, calendar constraints, and interests to propose the optimal period. This custom approach ensures that your trip to Alexandria takes place under the best possible conditions.
Whether you want to discover the ancient treasures of this legendary city, explore its cosmopolitan heritage, or simply enjoy its Mediterranean mildness, our Travel Planners turn your quote request into a unique travel project. Alexandria is waiting for you to reveal its millennia-old secrets and offer an unforgettable experience at the heart of this eastern Mediterranean pearl.
Alexandria, the ancient city founded by Alexander the Great, is a captivating destination blending history, culture, and Mediterranean allure. The Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a modern reincarnation of the ancient center of knowledge, will enchant you with its bold architecture and cultural exhibitions. Don't miss the Kom el Shoqafa catacombs, an archaeological wonder featuring Egyptian, Greek, and Roman motifs. The Pompey's Pillar, a rose granite monolith, stands as a testament to Alexandria's historical wealth. For a touch of spirituality, the Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi Mosque, with its impressive facade and ornate interior, is a must-visit. Lastly, enjoy a stroll along the Corniche to capture the vibrant essence of this seaside city.
The best time to visit Alexandria spans from March to May and from September to November. These months feature pleasant weather with moderate temperatures and fewer crowds, allowing you to fully enjoy the historic sites and beaches. Summer, from June to August, experiences higher temperatures and a greater influx of tourists, which can make the visits less comfortable. Winter, though cooler, remains a good option, especially if you prefer avoiding large crowds. During these months, evenings can be chilly, so consider packing appropriate clothing. By planning your trip to Alexandria during these recommended periods, you'll maximize your enjoyment of the city while experiencing a more tranquil and pleasant stay.
Beyond the classic tours, Alexandria offers a range of activities to enrich your stay. Water sports enthusiasts can enjoy windsurfing and kitesurfing at Alexandria's beaches. For a more immersive cultural experience, participate in the numerous festivals that animate the city throughout the year, including the Alexandria International Film Festival. Art and history buffs will appreciate the Fine Arts Museum and the National Museum, which feature fascinating collections. For a relaxing evening, explore the many cafes and restaurants along the Corniche, offering stunning views of the Mediterranean. Finally, don't miss the local market for an authentic glimpse into Alexandrian life, where you can buy handmade items and taste local specialties. Each activity in Alexandria promises to deepen your appreciation of its diverse charm and culture.
A personalized trip to Alexandria ideally requires 3 to 4 days to discover the essential sites without rushing. This duration allows you to visit the Alexandria Library, the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, the Qaitbay Citadel, and to wander through the cosmopolitan districts. Our Travel Planners adjust the pace according to your preferences, prioritizing the quality of discoveries over the accumulation of visits.
Absolutely, your custom trip can integrate Alexandria into a broader circuit. The most popular combinations include Cairo (3 hours by road) to visit the pyramids of Giza and the Egyptian Museum, the Siwa Oasis (300 km to the west) for a desert experience, or the monasteries of Wadi Natroun. Our Travel Planners organize these extensions according to your wishes and available budget.
For your personalized trip to Alexandria, we recommend a private driver who accompanies you throughout your stay. This solution offers flexibility and comfort, especially appreciated for reaching remote sites like the Montazah Gardens or for excursions to the interior. The historic tramway provides an authentic experience for exploring the downtown area, while walking is ideal for exploring the corniche and pedestrian neighborhoods.
