An Unforgettable Journey Through Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahshur

Our tour to Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahshur was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Everything was perfectly organized, and the entire experience ran smoothly without any issues. A special mention goes to our guide, Khloud, who is an outstanding Egyptologist. Her knowledge, passion, and ability to explain the history in such an engaging and clear way truly made the difference. She brought the ancient sites to life and made the experience both educational and enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better day—highly recommended!

A day among the wonders of ancient Egypt

Donia was an exceptional guide: prepared, helpful and always ready to answer all our questions. He organized the day taking into account our preferences, also leaving us the right time to explore the sites on our own and enjoy the experience calmly. I highly recommend this visit: the sites of Saqqara, Memphis and Dahshur surprised us with their beauty, absolutely comparable to that of the pyramids of Giza. An experience that is really worth having!

Excellent Tour - highly recommended

We recently went on a tour visiting the Saqqarah Pyramid Complex, including the Step Pyramid, Unas Pyramid, Tomb of Teti, Tomb of Mereruka, and the Serapeum. We also visited the Bent and Red pyramids in Dahshur as well as the open air museum in Memphis. We'd like to thank Ibrahim for his excellent service. Ibrahim was very knowledgeable about the tombs and pyramids that we visited. He never pressured us to go into any shops or restaurants and accommodated us in making our own schedule. We was very communicative with us by getting in touch the night before making sure to know what we wanted to see. He was prompt in arriving a good 10-15m earlier than our scheduled time and waited until we were ready to be picked up. He took a few photos of us which were excellent. Our driver was excellent, safe and efficient. He minimised the bumps as much as possible. We loved this tour and would recommend it highly.

Saqqara Tour

Rana Mohsen was an amazing guide to Saqqara, Dashur, and Memphis! She was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience. She also took me out to see how papyrus is made, and to a beautiful perfume store and spice shop with delicious tea. Many thanks to Rana and our driver Fares!
