This trip was top, actually better than I expected. Wael was perfect professional guide, an Egyptologist as it was promised. He answered all questions, explained things in very interesting way, he even translated tombs writings for us. We ordered the trip with lunch, which was also very tasteful, in a good restaurant. The trip was exactly as it was promised👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

First time at Saqqara and Dahshur, Wael and his driver made this an unforgettable great experience for our family. Highly recommendable.

I went on this tour with Wael. That was nice experience to see the most impressive structures in the world. The guide was excited to share his knowledge and to answer my questions. If I went back in time, I would do this trip again, but there is still enough time to visit The Great Pyramid in a single day

Great tour with Ali and his driver. Saqqara and Dashur are well worth the visit with fewer tourists and thousands of tombs. Ali takes lots of great photographs and goes the extra mile to make sure you are having a good time.

I would definitely recommend making this trip - seeing Saqqara and the Bent and Red Pyramids gives a complete historical view on the architectural developments that led to the building of the Pyramids of Giza. The sites are incredible! Our guide, Wael, was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was communicative and prompt - the day went off without any difficulties! Also, the lunch was tasty and filling. Would 100% recommend.

Our guide was Wael, who was excellent and experienced. Arrive early; know that our native language is not English, try to slow down so we can understand and not tire of explaining the questions we asked, his professional narration added a lot of fun to our journey; respect our request not to shop; offer to take a lot of nice photos for us; pay attention to whether the food is right for us at lunch, thanks to Wael for his professional and thoughtful service.

If you want to explore these areas in full detail without being rushed, then i can fully recommend this tour with GEM EXPLORE EGYPT I was very fortunate to have WAEL and MOHAMMED show me around today, and i have to admit my mind was blown at how knowledgable my guide WAEL was on not only Egyptology in general, but also how he knew this area so well from the biggest monuments right down to the finest wall artworks. This tour is everything as described in the tour description plus more. Wael and Mohammed were more than accommodating when i asked to add on extra sites that were not part of the original itinerary, or wanted to stop for some extra photo opportunities along the way. Never pressured, never rushed. Im sure this tour would be great with any guide, but if you are luck enough to get Wael as your guide then i think you will have an extraordinary experience. And as a bonus-a delicious and authentic Egyptian lunch is included!

My wife and I had a wonderful day tour with our guide Ali! He was kind, knowledgeable and made our tour unforgettable. Ali took us to several sites and allowed us to view at our own pace, and also made sure to get great photos of us at each stop. We highly recommend booking Ali for your day tour!
