Die Stätten sind bemerkenswert, noch mehr mit einem großen Ägyptologen wie Ahmed!
Wir liebten diese Tour! Ahmed war ein hervorragender Führer, es war wie in einem Ägyptologiekurs mit einem ausgezeichneten und leidenschaftlichen Lehrer! Er war detailliert, genau und beantwortete alle unsere Fragen. Er gab uns immer genug Zeit, die Sehenswürdigkeiten zu genießen, so dass wir uns nie gehetzt fühlten. Die Sehenswürdigkeiten, die wir besucht haben (insbesondere die gebogene Pyramide), sind wirklich bemerkenswert und stimmungsvoll und definitiv besser mit einem Guide genossen, der Ihnen alles darüber erzählen kann, warum sie gebaut wurden und wie. Ahmed hatte auch seine eigenen (dort draußen) Theorien über antike Technologie, hielt sie aber äußerst professionell, indem er seinen Standpunkt durch die "wissenschaftlichen" Erklärungen getrennt hielt. Außerdem half uns Ahmed, zwei zusätzliche Touren in Luxor für die nächsten Tage vor Ort zu organisieren. Schließlich war das Mittagessen köstlich.

Recomendadisimo en el Cairo
Fue una gran experiencia familiar, todo lo descrito en el tour fue realizado, Hesham es un gran guía, su español es bueno y sus explicaciones están llenas de historia y gran manejo del tema, recomiendo esta actividad para conocer mas de la historia y de la cultura antigua. Es muy buena actividad además Hesham es un gran Fotógrafo

Wonderful couple days with a guide that felt like a friend
I had such a great day in Giza with Ibrahim, I booked him for the next day even though social media tips said to try new guides. He was so great I couldn’t take the chance. I could tell he tailored the tour to my interests which I appreciated. He takes amazing pics too. Just felt like a conversation with a friend all day. Plus he took me to his favorite coffee shop which was cool. Thank you sir, I wish you were in all the other Egyptian towns I’ve been and am going to!

A GEM of a tour!
Brilliant day with GEM exploring the pyramids and Memphis museum. I’d visited the main Giza pyramids previously and was very pleased by how quiet and peaceful this tour was, and loved climbing inside the Painted and North pyramids in particular - although it’s quite tiring and a small space, not for the feint hearted! My guide Ibrahim was very knowledgeable and great fun to be with as a solo traveller, and Ahmed the driver provided countless ice cold waters from his cool box - much appreciated given how hot it was! The Kosahry for lunch was also delicious. Couldn’t recommend this tour more.

Worth visiting and quieter than Giza
The Saqarra and Dahshur sites are well-worth a visit and are much quieter than the Giza pyramids. The location marketed as ‘Memphis’ was, aside from the very impressive statue of Rameses, pretty disappointing - perhaps it’s all relative and just a bit of an anticlimax after seeing the Red and Bent pyramids, but there was no old city and just what looked for all the world like a reclaim yard of random recovered artefacts set in concrete bases. Our guide didn’t seem to be especially knowledgeable, but that may have been due to the language barrier - it wasn’t easy to get an answer to any questions that I had. The restaurant at the end of the tour (rather than 2/3 of the way through, as per the itinerary) was absolutely dreadful. The pyramids and the Rameses statue are great and deserve 5 stars, but the limited tour guide knowledge, mis-represented ‘city’ of Memphis and terrible lunch mean that I couldn’t give this tour any more than a 3-star rating so as to advise others looking to book.

Great tour!!
We had so little time but tour guide Moni R. gave us the best experience, she and the private driver took us all over Cairo and we were able to visit Saqqara, Pyramids of Giza with camel tour, Khan el-Khalili, the two Egyptian Museums and visit some other cultural places, we loved it. They were very kind and helpful.

Wir genossen...
Wir haben diese Tour sehr genossen, wir besuchten Saqqara, Dahshour und Memphis. Wir hatten die Möglichkeit, in die Pyramiden zu gehen, was eine erstaunliche Erfahrung war. Unser Guide, Annan war sehr freundlich und sachkundig. Sie erzählte uns alles über die Orte, die wir besuchten, sowie interessante Fakten über Ägypten. Sie nahm uns für einen authentischen ägyptischen Grill auf einer Dachterrasse mit Blick auf die Gizeh Pyramiden. Wir reisten in einem klimatisierten Auto zwischen den Attraktionen und wurden regelmäßig mit eiskaltem Wasser versorgt. Es war ein brillanter Tag, und wir würden diese Tour auf jeden Fall empfehlen. Vielen Dank Annan für die tolle Erfahrung.

A trip you can’t miss
This trip is not as popular as Giza Pyramids, but you should definitely take it if you want to see more history of pyramids. The trip offered it more than what I expected. Different stories and fantastic views. Much less crowded. For instance I explored the inside of the Bent Pyramid pretty much just myself alone and the experience was amazing when nobody was around. My guide Mina and driver Ahmed (Moza) is such a great team throughout the whole trip. Very punctual on time and very flexible. They offered accommodations for my requests. Mina certainly was one of the best guides among the six tours I had in Egypt. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Explained the history and culture in great details. Shared a lot of interesting stories and experiences. He helped me understand more about the Egyptian culture and history, which makes me want to come back again. Thank you Mina and Ahmed!

Absolutely amazing private tour of the first and the original pyramids site, with many more things to see and places to go
We went on this tour, myself and my husband, with Abraham and a driver. We were not expecting this private tour, we thought it would be a group tour, so this was a total bonus and surprise!
We first went to Dashur, and I went into the red pyramid.
It was about 50 steps up to the entrance, which wasn't too bad (and for me being an older asthmatic lady too😅)
It was a gradual dissent of 140 wooden step bars, where you have to step on the edge of, and go backwards holding on to wooden rails stooping down, it was quite wide enough for two people, quite a bit easier than the great pyramid's descent.
Once at the bottom, there was a wide room with a triangular roof, we were accompanied by a tiny bat or two, (the red pyramid is also called bat pyramid)
There were also more stairs to go up, these were solid wooden ones to see something else, but I didn't go as I was quite happy with what I had seen.
You could even see who had discovered the pyramids, British archaeologists, and the date they had written, which I have photographed.
There were only four other people that went behind me, so hardly anybody at all.
Seeing these sites for me was astounding and awe inspiring!
These pyramids are world heritage site protected and of a major importance in Egypt's history and the first pyramids to be built, even before the great pyramid. We saw the Bent pyramid and the black pyramid as we were passing by in the car
Ibrahim and our driver took us to the town of Memphis, originally called Mem, where we visited a museum that housed a giant statue of Rameses II and many other interesting artifacts, mostly outdoors, including a giant sphinx.
Finally we visited a lovely restaurant where we were served pasta soup with pitta breads and six dips and sauces, chicken breast from a kebab stick, that we had requested, with rice and home made chips and finally a slice of melon, totally delicious 😋
Finally, after our beautiful meal, were driven back to the doorstep of our hotel
Ibrahim was a conscientious, honest, safety driven, informative and all round amazing guide🤩
Our driver got us everywhere safely and in comfort, and was just the best driver we could have asked for!
We asked that the air conditioning be switched on when we were too hot from climbing too much, and also for some water, when we stupidly forgot to bring some. Both guys gladly obliged at all the requests and questions were all answered to more than our satisfaction.
I can highly recommend Ibraham and his company GEM for all your private tours and to be your guide.

Great trip with deep discussion
Amazing trip we had with Ali and Muhammad. Ali has a deep knowledge of history and it is great to have a discussion with him on the topics. I highly recommend it!
