Great tour with amazing driver and guide. Highly recommend.

We had a fantastic time on this tour. It was very informative, visited great sites, and learned so much about Egyptian history and culture. Our guide Ahmed gave great information and took amazing care of us. He’s also great at taking pictures. 😊

Excursion very acceptable.

The visits were very full of content. The very competent guide. Punctuality and easy contact with the guide. We missed some Saqqara mastaba. We did not visit any and they are fundamental in that tour.

Saqqara Memphis and Dashur tour

Ibrahim was a fantastic guide. So knowledgable about all of the archeological sites. He arrived perfectly on time and adjusted the tour to fit our needs. But most importantly he was a really friendly guy and we enjoyed chatting to him about Egyptian culture. I would 100% recommend you book with him.

Great day trip

Great trip today. The first pyramid at Saqqara was amazing! Ahmed will take the best pictures of you! Plenty of time at each sight to see what you want, did not feel rushed. Go down inside one of the pyramids if you are able (very confined height-wise) as great experience. The bent pyramid and Memphis are also cool. All in all a great day out.
