Saqqara Dashur and Memphis…..don’t miss:-)
10 out of 10, the visit to Saqqara, Dashur and Memphis was something we’ll always remember. Our tour guide Wael was knowledgeable friendly and made the experience fun and educational at the same time. He took time to explain, in detail, the historical, architectural, archeological and philosophical meanings behind the ancient Egyptian structures.
Having. a personal interest in Ancient Egypt Wael answered all questions including the ones about recent Egyptian history and politics.
From the pick up to the end of the day he looked after us and made comfortable. For any tourist visiting Cairo a tour to Saqqara, Dashur and Memphis is a must and is often overlooked because of the Giza Pyramids and The Sphinx.
Finally a big thank you to Wael and his driver (his car was more modern than the others and very comfortable) for making this a special trip.

Must do day with Mostafa
We had the absolute best experience with Mostafa on our tour of Saqqara, Memphis, and the Dashur pyramids. He is by far the most knowledgeable and engaging guide we’ve ever had! Not only did he bring history to life with fascinating insights, but he also made sure we truly understood and appreciated what we were seeing.
What stood out most is that he’s not just a guide, he’s genuinely passionate about helping you learn, making the day feel meaningful as well as enjoyable. On top of that, he’s an incredible person. Very kind, attentive, and easy to spend the day with.
If you want a guide who will go above and beyond to ensure you’re educated, inspired, and well looked after, ask for Mostafa by name. We couldn’t recommend him more highly!

Ibrahim Allam was the perfect guide if you want a peaceful trip
We did 2 trips with Ibrahim Allam - Saqqara, Memphis & Dahshur and pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. Both trips were excellent and tailored to what we requested: (1) Avoid crowd as much as possible. He crafted the orders/explanation based on the crowd we observed so that we could enjoy with less crowd & noise, (2) "hidden" path while giving nice viewing spots for pictures. Really well done. (3) Skip the tourist shops as we have no interest and we want to have longer time in the historical sites. (4) never rush us and always accommodate all of our questions. He really delivered beyond his clock. (5) 100% punctuality for the pick up time that was super early

A wonderful day exploring ancient Egypt with our guide, Ibrahim
Today has been an incredible day, full of history, learning, and unforgettable experiences — all thanks to our amazing guide, Ibrahim.
We started the day by visiting Dahshur, where we explored the Red Pyramid and the fascinating Bent Pyramid. It was truly impressive to stand before these ancient structures and imagine the engineering behind them.
After Dahshur, we headed to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt. There, we saw the colossal statue of Ramses II, as well as the second-largest known sphinx in Egypt, both absolutely stunning pieces of history.
Our next stop was Saqqara, where we entered one of the oldest pyramids and admired the hieroglyphs carved into the walls. We also visited the Saqqara necropolis and stood in awe before the Step Pyramid of Djoser, which was simply spectacular.
After our visits, we enjoyed a delicious lunch at a beautiful local restaurant. Later, Ibrahim kindly accompanied us to a clothing store so we could do some shopping.
Throughout the whole experience, we were constantly offered cold water, fruit juices, and biscuits, which was especially appreciated during the hot August weather. The air-conditioned vehicle was also a blessing and made every transfer between sites much more comfortable.
Ibrahim is not only a knowledgeable Egyptologist, but also someone who is truly passionate about Egyptian history. He shared countless insights with us throughout the day, and we genuinely learned so much. He made us feel completely at ease — like family. We even joked that he felt like a father figure to us because of how warm, friendly, and attentive he was.
We wholeheartedly recommend Ibrahim to anyone visiting Egypt. If you have the chance to explore with him, take it — you won’t regret it.
And of course, a big thank you to our driver as well, who got us safely and comfortably from place to place.

A Great Tour
We had an amazing day with our guide, Wael and driver, Zakrya on our trip to Saqqara. Wael has a calm and quiet demeanor about him. He has extensive knowledge on the history of the pyramids. He gave us numerous options throughout the day and didn’t pressure us into any of them. He has a deep connection to the historical monuments and displays kindness to all people. It all ended with a delicious meal. What a day!

Wonderfully experience! Highly reccomended for history lovers!
Aberham was an incredibly knowledgeable and helpful guide who always made sure my comfort was taken care of. Lots of useful and interesting information about the sites, and a great personality! Would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in Egyptian old kingdom history and pyramid building. Pyramids at dashur and saqqara are much less crowded than those at Giza, seeing Memphis, the oldest capital city in the world, was absolutely amazing. Highly recommended, would rate 6/5 if I could.

A must do!
Wael & Omar were amazing! Wael was incredibly informative and accomodating for any questions we had. He showed a deep understanding for Egyptology which was awesome. He also let us know of any scams in the area which was super helpful and if you’re wanting the perfect photo he knows exactly where to take them. Omar our driver had cold water waiting for us in the car as well as the air conditioning running which was definitely a must in the summer. Would definitely recommend this tour but especially with these two :)

Great experience with Ahmed, these sites are not to be missed!
We loved this tour! Ahmed was an outstanding guide, very detailed and passionate. It almost felt like being in an Egyptology class with a great teacher. The sites are truly remarkable and atmospheric, and Ahmed always made sure we had enough time to properly explore and savour them after his explanations. He also explained his point of view on ancient technology, but always professionally, after illustrating the official research. He also helped us book two additional tours in Luxor on the spot. Finally, we had a delicious lunch.
