Saqqara Day Trip

Had a great day tour to Saqarra with our tour guide Asmaa. She was kind, courteous, and very knowledgeable about the sites we visited. She provided flexibility in the days events including deciding on entering the pyramids. While the Great Pyramids are on most people's bucket list, Saqqara was just as memorable for myself due to the preserved hieroglyphs. Thank you for a great day.

Fun day in Saqqara

Excellent day at Saqqara with my family. Our guide Rama was super nice, very knowledgeable and totally professional . Other than Mother Nature whipping up a sandstorm, it was a perfect day. Her driver Hazeem was great…just aggressive enough to get us through traffic, but not white-knuckle crazy like some of the Cairo taxi drivers.

Pyramids and Sandstorms

Very worthwhile, highly recommended. Visited several tombs and monuments, and Rana did a great job putting things in context and pointing out interesting details. A trip to a carpet shop was added as a surprise, it was a good place to hide from the sandstorm (cover up!) for a moment. And Hazim was always at just the right place at the right moment.

Saqqara and Dashur Pyramids Tour

First of all, thank you to Amira for guiding me on the tour and for her clear and close explanations. We visited Saqqara, Dashur and Memphis on a private tour and it was a very nice experience. Seeing the pyramids up close and knowing their history is really worth it. The weather did not accompany much, but I still enjoyed the visit. Highly recommended.

Walking in Memphis

She was very knowledgeable and excited, and she answered all of our questions. Sometimes, we didn’t understand her accent perfectly, but she would always clarify if we asked.

Very informative trip

A really interesting trip and Ibrahim explained the history very well. So glad we didn’t just visit the pyramids at Giza

Tour of Saqqara and dahshur with Nour.

Our guide Nour was very friendly and knowledgeable. She described everything we saw very well and also adapted our tour to see things not included in the original tour. I would definitely use her again if we ever came again. 100% recommended.
