(1468-1496 C.E.). (Other transliterations of his name include Qaytbay and Kait Bey.) He was Circassian by birth, and was purchased by the ninth sultan Barsbay (1422 to 1438 C.E.) before being freed by the eleventh Sultan Jaqmaq (1438 to 1453 C.E.). During his reign, he stabilized the Mamluk state and economy, consolidated the northern boundaries of the Sultanate with the Ottoman Empire, engaged in trade with other contemporaneous polities, and emerged as a great patron of art and architecture. In fact, although Qaitbay fought sixteen military campaigns, he is best remembered for the spectacular building projects that he sponsored, leaving his mark as an architectural patron on Mecca, Medina, Jerusalem, Damascus, Aleppo, Alexandria, and every quarter of Cairo.

Our guide, Heba, was amazing. She's an Alexandria native and clearly loves her city. She was so passionate and thorough when explaining the history behind all the different sites we visited. My wife and I had a great time exploring and learning about Alexandria. I would 100% recommend Heba as a tour guide to anyone wanting to learn about the numerous historical sites present in Alexandria.

Our driver for the day was very punctual and enjoyable company, and our guide in Alexandria was knowledgeable and friendly. We both enjoyed the trip which gave an interesting introduction to the history of the city. Lunch was OK and as expected was in a tourist orientated restaurant. We would certainly repeat the experience of the day

A trip to Alexandria was a highlight of our seven-day visit to Egypt. Emo Tours Egypt organized this trip perfectly. Our driver Hassan was waiting for us in front of the hotel even before 7:00 am. A three hour drive was comfortable and easy. But we were especially lucky to get Amal as a guide in Alexandria. She was the one made this visit really special. Amal was not only knowledgeable and ready to answer any question about all sights and more but she was also flexible, kind and attentive. Our sister had difficulties with walking and Amal knew exactly when to offer break, shade or chair. She also took us to a beautiful restaurant for a lunch with a view of the East Harbor and the best fish and bread in the world. Thank you Amal for making this visit so memorable.

We had a great time on our tour and saw multiple great spots all across Alexandria! The catacombs were and seeing the differences between Greek, Roman and Egyptian influence in the area were fascinating! Our guide and driver were fantastic!
