On-the-ground planning in Alexandria
Often a Cairo add-on by train; same-day attempts are rushed unless flights are tight.
Transfers should account for prayer times, heat breaks, and whether old quarters are vehicle-free. Desert or wadi add-ons need camp tier photos and honest drive durations from Alexandria.
When to go
Spring and autumn; summer humidity affects pacing.
