Mandatory visit if you like the history of Egypt, start here!

We were looking to start at the beginning and we knew it must be that excursion. It was a pleasant surprise that the guide was a woman Aya assembly, she explained everything very well and won our hearts. Exceptional knowledge and sympathy.I recommend everyone to start in those 3 cities and then Giza.

The experience was unforgettable, especially the entrance to the pyramids in dashur. Baher is excellent, I recommend it

Baher was very friendly and attentive all the time. I took the tour a day early and they still organized well, went to get us and drop us off at the hotel. We wanted a little more relaxed tour so we were very good with the times. I recommend going with sneakers and light clothes, especially shorts if you want to enter the flattened pyramid. Lunch is very rich and the place was very nice, the only thing we did not like is not having been able to pay for drinks by credit card, but again Baher helped us with that problem.

De andere piramiden

Leuke excursie. De gids vertelt enthousiast over de piramides en Memphis. Het is nergens druk. Je kunt ook "gratis" de piramiden van binnen bezichtigen zit in de entree prijs. Warme lunch was ook prima verzorgd.

Sakkara & Dahshur Pyramids transport you back to ancient Egypt.

The Sakkara Necropolis and the Dahshur Red & Bent Pyramid complexes transport you back in time to ancient Egypt. Our expert tour guide Hossam brought so much of the history to life. Ali our driver travelled the backstreets and the country roads to and from the Pyramids, giving us an insight daily Cairo life too! The contrast of the old and the new makes this tour special.

Great day tours!

I’ve been using Emo tours for trips to Egypt for over 4 years now and wouldn’t go anywhere else. For this visit we used Emo tours for a one day visit to Giza and the National Civilisation Museum and for two trips to Saqqara, with a visit to Dahshur and Memphis on one of the days. For these three days our guide was Mohammed Topa who was very friendly and knowledge, one evening he did some extra study as he knew I was very interested in the history so could translate some of the text of a tomb we visited which was much appreciated - if you are looking so in depth historical information on sites in the Cairo area do ask for him! Samar also kindly arranged to us to visit the Faiyum pyramids which was a custom tour which we also really enjoyed with our guide Hassan. We really enjoyed our trips with Emo tours and would highly recommend them to anyone visiting Egypt
