A great day out

Well worth seeing these sites just 45 mins or so away from the bustle of Cairo and Giza. Our guide Ahmed showed a deep knowledge of the history and did a great job bringing it all to life for us and in answering all our questions. Highly recommend and genuine value for money.

A wonderful experience seeing Saqqara, Dahsur and Memphis

We had a great time with Rana our guide and Fares our driver seeing Saqqara, Dahsur and Memphis. They were very generous stopping off along the way to get us some water to ensure we stay hydrated. Rana is a very experienced and knowledgeable tour guide and taught us a lot of the history behind the pyramids and artefacts we saw. She was very kind and considerate helping my mum down the steps when needed while also giving us time to explore each site at our own leisure not feeling as though our day was rushed.

More incredible sites

The trip was all good and as described. It was definitely worth seeing these other pyramids as well as the ones in Giza - as it gives you a better context and time line.
