Awesome day

The whole experience with guide Ibrahim was fantastic. He arrived a bit earlier at the hotel and waited at the entrance so we didn't have to search for him. On the drive to Saqqarah he gave a nice introduction about the tour. At the sights Ibrahim had so much knowledge which he able to share in a fun and interesting way. He was able to answer every question we asked. When were finished at the sites he gave us a much time as we wanted to wander around for ourselves before going to the next place. We got a bit hungry before lunch time so he stopped and grabbed us some delicious falafel sandwiches on the way. We had a great day and would recommend everyone to ask for Ibrahim when booking this tour!

100% Recommend

Excellent day out with Reem, Reem arrived promptly at the hotel and took us first to Saqqara, then Dashur followed by Memphis. Reem made the tour really enjoyable and shared lots of facts about all the sites that we visited. After we finished at Memphis we went for lunch as part of the tour. Would highly recommend, it was nice to have a private tour that was completely at our pace. We had a great driver too!

Saqqara, Memphis and Dahsur

Ahmed elsawy has been an amazing guide. He has explained to us perfectly all the monuments and the history behind them. The very nice, private trip in the car with Josef. They gave us water as soon as we arrived. I'd repeat for sure.

Saqqara Dashur Visit

Our guide Christine was very flexible with the planning. When we needed to stop by the hospital before our visits, she made it happen and helped with translation and paperwork. We truly appreciated her help during that time. She is also knowledgeable about the history and was able to answer all our questions. In addition, she is honest and gave us helpful tips for getting around. Had a nice day in Saqqara.
