Amazing historical tour of Sakkara, Dashur, and Memphis

A great historical overview of the Sakkara, Dasher, and Memphis areas with tour guid Essam and driver Hacham. Essam goes above and beyond as a tour guide. The highest quality guide I have encountered, with exceptional knowledge and the ability to translate hieroglyphics instantly. Amazing tour, 5 stars!

Tour was rushed, missed...

Tour was rushed, missed several parts of it. The guide had no knowledge in Egyptian history and was more interested to bring us to the shops to get commissions from the sales. We actually had to demand to climb inside the pyramid as part of regular admission. Absolutely horrible experience.

Great experience of Dashur and Sakkara

Thanks to Fatima for a great experience of the pyramids! She was really kind and had a lot of knowledge about the pyramids and the history of Egypt! We really enjoyed being able to enter both of the pyramids at Dashur! Awesome experience all around!

One of the most important places

It is a must while in Cairo. We struggled a bit with the english of the guide, which was a bit difficult to understand, but it was a very nice experience overall

Einfach perfekt

Toller Reiseführer und sehr netter Fahrer. Sehr zu empfehlen. Preis/Leistung war top. Auch unser Sonderwunsch die Grabstätte der heiligen Stiere zu besuchen, wurde erfüllt. Die 24 Gräber muss man sich unbedingt anschauen.

Poor English Guide

Private 6 hour tour with Rania was not great. While friendly, her English was difficult to understand so we learned very little about the sites visited. Also, at Saqqara, she stated that the tour only included a visit to the Step Pyramid, not any of the other sites. After I insisted that I wanted to see some of the other sites there, she finally agreed to include 2 of the 5 on my list. Of course, there was an extra entry fee for each of the two. After we finished our visit, I totally understood why Rania did not want to include any site with a long walk or stairs as she was physically unfit. I was very disappointed in the tour.
