Ibrahim was the best guide we could have asked for: he was deeply knowledgeable and interested in the subject matter, was friendly and answered all of our questions and overall had a great demeanour. The trip explored the most impressive and interesting pyramids of Egypt and outshone even that of Giza.

I took the tour with a Spanish-speaking guide (Mona). Flawless, punctual, vehicle with air conditioning, a guide with great knowledge and kindness. The driver was very kind and willing. The guide was strategic in visiting the sites before they filled up with other tourists. Excellent time management. The conversation with her was fantastic. The visit to Saqqara and the Dashur pyramids are essential archaeological stops for any tourist in Giza. Totally recommended.

I had a wonderful day with Ibrahim Allam (guide) and Sameer (driver) visiting Saqqara, Dashur and the Memphis open-air museum. The key stops included Djoser's Step Pyramid complex (including going inside the pyramid- definitely do this), the Pyramid of Unas (with its extensive wall texts, the oldest religious literature in history), the pyramids at Dashur (precursor to the Giza pyramids) and the open-air museum at Memphis. Ibrahim was an amazing guide — so friendly, thoughtful and insightful, never rushing me along. I truly appreciated both the historical explanation and being given the time to take in the landscape and the monuments. It was a very memorable experience, both in terms of everything I learned and also just being able to enjoy the peaceful desert environment of Saqqara and Dashur in the less tourist-crowded season. The visit to the open-air museum at Memphis was also a real treat, given the critical importance of Memphis to many eras of Egyptian history (especially its inception but at many other periods as well). Overall, a very pleasant and meaningful day. Highly recommended!
