The mysterious sphinx The Great Sphinx in Giza is a mythical creature with the body of a lion (the power) and the head of a human being (the prudence). It is the oldest known monumental sculpture in all of Egypt and is generally believed to have been built during the reign of Pharaoh Khafre (approx. 2558-2532 BC). It lies on the eastern side of the Chafre pyramid and is directed directly from west to east, which is why it was later considered to be the embodiment of the sun god (Hour Am Achet). The Sphinx has been the guardian of the pyramids since its inception.

Very nice trip by van. Exhausting because about 6 hours drive. But we knew that before. Our local guide, Mohamed was great. A retired history professor. With super German. Very informative. Also the lunch afterwards was great. Inconspicuous from the outside, but a super nice oriental restaurant from the inside. Also the whole handling of Memnon travel worked great. All uncomplicated via whatsapp. Highly recommended.

Our day trip to Cairo was an absolute highlight! As soon as you arrived, you could feel the magic of this historic city. Visiting the Giza pyramids was simply breathtaking – a wonder of antiquity that must be seen once in your life. Our guide not only inspired us with exciting facts about the construction and history of the pyramids, but also carried us away with his humor and passion for Egyptian culture. His expertise is particularly noteworthy: He could answer any question – be it the symbolism of hieroglyphics, the pharaohs or the archaeological discoveries. He also had a great flair for photography and led us to the best spots to take memorable pictures – including tips for perspective and light! The Egyptian Museum was also an experience in itself. Thanks to the vivid narrative of our guide, you felt like you were on a journey through millennia. The Tutankhamun exhibition was a real highlight. An all-round successful day that was made an unforgettable experience by the kindness and expertise of our guide. Highly recommended!

On our Egypt vacation we were looking for a trip to Cairo. The reviews of the popular hotel providers did not appeal to us as they were reminiscent of coffee trips. We came across Memnon Reisen in our search and read their recessions up and down, but could not find a negative post. Of course, like many others, we wondered if this is a reputable provider, if we should really book this or if this is a risk. We dared and can say quite clearly that Memnon travel delivers what they promise. We felt safe and well looked after at all times! It is more expensive than the excursions offered in the hotels, but for us the excursion was worth every penny! We can highly recommend it to anyone. We also wrote a request via WhatsApp and received a reply from Osman a short time later with all the information. We decided to travel to Cairo by car. The comfort in the private car was very good. We were picked up in the morning punctually at 2:00 a.m. with a Toyota Corolla. The 6 hours outbound and 5 hours return were of course exhausting but passed quite quickly as we slept a lot. Sufficient breaks were also made. A huge respect to our driver who really drove all the way back and forth and also got us safely through the traffic chaos in Cairo. We found that the time spent was definitely worth it. As a guide, we had nobility who introduced us to Egyptian history, architecture and culture with a lot of knowledge and humor. Freely following his motto "Hot but nice" he guided us through the heat of Cairo and made our day truly unforgettable. We visited the Giza pyramids and the National Museum. We were protected from intrusive traders. And for us the most important thing, Adel left us everywhere as much time as we needed to look in peace, take photos etc. We were not rushed and so enjoyed Cairo quite relaxed. Finally we were able to book a Nile cruise for 15 € pP. We took the opportunity. But this is offered to you without any compulsion. So if you don't want to do that, you don't have to do it. A really delicious fresh lunch in a really nice and hygienic restaurant was also there. We really had nothing to complain about. And around 7pm we were back at the hotel. After the trip we were also asked directly via WhatsApp if everything was to our satisfaction or if there are problems/complaints. Here we could assure with a calm conscience that everything worked out great. If we come to Egypt again, next on our list is Luxor, of course with Menon travel.

We had a wonderful day. The drivers and also the Egyptologist Essma get 12/10. We felt absolutely safe as we were traveling 19 hours. Through Essma we had impressive hours in Cairo. We devoured his knowledge and were flashed at the end of the day. We can recommend Memnon travel 100% in good conscience.

An incredibly dense, colorful and unforgettable day in Cairo with Yakub as a super-organized and competent tour guide, who always tried to make the program according to our wishes and who can tell by his joy in his work. The highlight among many that day was the visit to the bazaar . Gladly anytime again with Memnon travel, organization was great !!

We booked a day trip to Cairo with flight from Makadi Bay. Our tour guide Jakob was great, he showed us a lot and explained wonderfully. We had a car together with driver who knew Mega in Cairo and led us around most of the traffic jams. As a result, of course, we have seen quite different corners of Cairo, where you might not necessarily get to otherwise. All in all an unforgettable experience, any time again. And Jakob, I hope you don’t have any muscle soreness from our Giza tour today😉 Best regards Ivonne and Arno

We (couple with 2 children aged 11 and 16) chose Memnon for the activity in Cairo (Airplane from Hurghada to Cairo with guide). An exceptional day from start to finish: punctuality of the driver to the guide Beshoy who speaks impeccable French and who is unstickable on the history of Egypt!!! We really enjoyed this excursion in private. So we chose Memnon again for the boat trip to see the dolphins in Hurghada: perfect also with our guide Mohamed. We were even able to swim with dolphins. I recommend Memnon with my eyes closed!! Osman, our contact via Whatsapp was great and responds very quickly!

Through my mom we learned that you get great trips with wonderful guides at Memnon Reisen. It was very important to us that we do a tour where only the two of us are with a guide as we wanted to learn and see as much as possible. We went with our driver Mahmoud and Mohmed to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo and also to the pyramids. A mega-beautiful experience. At lunchtime we had Egyptian food and found it very nice that Mohmed was sitting at the table with us. Mohmed told us a lot about the history of Egypt and also addressed our many questions. Of course, we were able to take enough pictures and Mohmed knew exactly how to stand for funny memories at the pyramids. An absolutely successful trip.

Finally we saw the pyramids and it was definitely worth it. I found the Memnon trips by chance on the Internet. Our tour operator also offered trips to Cairo, but the recessions did not convince me, so I contacted about whatapp the Memnon trips. Communication went smoothly from start to finish. We were picked up from the hotel on time by our nice cheerful driver Asad with an air-conditioned minibus. The vehicle was modern and clean. The cold drinks were already waiting for us in a cooler. The journey took several hours with two stops by the police or military, but without any problems. Arriving in Giza, our German speaking guide Yamaha was waiting for us. She was lovely and nice. We felt in good hands with her. She showed us places where you could take great photos. Thanks to her, we could also ride camels without being pulled across the table. After a great but also exhausting day we were very satisfied. Thank you Yamaha and thank you Asad and of course thank you Osman (contact person via whatsapp). Best regards Nuray

Today we did the Cairo (pyramid trip) with Jakob and the money is worth it. It's a busy day, but definitely a great experience.
