A MUST WHEN VISITING CAIR AREA! HISTORIC & STUNNING!!!

We highly recommend doing this trip and going out to the more tranquil and quiet desert to see these amazing sights....a highlight of our 3 weeks in Egypt as you really get a sense of the pyramids being so epic in such a quiet place. Small but good museum in Memphis is worth a look too. Our guide, driver and vehicle was on time for pick up. Good clean vehicle with air conditioning, water and entrance fees all taken care of as promised. The guide was very knowledgable and friendly and made the trip for the 4 of us very enjoyable. The lunch was excellent. We also asked to not have any forced shopping stops as we wanted to send more time at the sites and that was no problem. We tipped both driver and guide well as they were very professional and kind. These are very historic pyramids and a must see. BE sure to ask to go see the API BULLS burial tombs as part of this trip. As the photos show, there are not many tourists there so it really gives you a sense of the amazing structures in the desert. AMAZING!!

Sehenswürdigkeiten sind toll. Wir waren begeistert von was wir gesehen haben. Guide könnte etwas lebendig sein, er war etwas müde.

Excellent guide and enjoyable half day trip

My partner, my father and I were very interested in the Saqquara and Dashur sites. There was a lot of stuff we specifically wanted to see - the step pyramid, the apis bulls serapium etc. There is just so much to see and explore around there, it’s actually worthy of a lot of time and we’ll be back. We’d highly recommend Emo Tours to take you there. Sharif was an amazing an informative guide, without being too intrusive on what we wanted to do. In fact, we got to see some amazing bits we otherwise wouldn’t have seen, thanks to his knowledge. He was highly educated and articulate. Bus was clean and comfy, and our driver was also excellent.

Great half day - even more interesting than Giza!

Super interesting and enjoyable excursion. Honestly even more interesting than the Great Pyramid in Giza, in terms of history and diversity of things to see. The Bent Pyramid is a fascinating, difficult series of descents and ascents in narrow passages - don't go inside if you're claustrophobic or don't want to crawl on hands and knees. Our guide, Ahmed, "Mr Whats Wrong with You", was knowledgeable and happy to take and share tons of photos.

Loving Egypt

I recommend this tour with the one and only Sayed Mahmoud. He is exceptional! Informative, patient and made our experience awesome. We stopped along the way and tasted fresh fruits and sugar cane juice. We laughed, talked and learned a great deal about Egypts beautiful cities and countryside. I recommend this tour to all with the one and only Sayed Mahmoud!and Tamer the driver, who assisted myself getting in and out of vehicle and was attentive. Both gentleman in every way!!!!

Our guide Afify was very knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to make our day a very memorable experience. He was fantastic. Excellent service for the entire day.

Excellent tour

It was our guide, Ahmed, who really made this tour, but the booking process via Emo Tours was seamless and everything ran as we could have hoped. It’s rare for tours to encompass Dahshur (as well as Memphis, Sakkara and Giza), but this tour is much better for it - that’s why we chose this tour, and Dahshur was arguably our favourite part. I was a bit sceptical before going, but I’d recommend Emo Tours to anyone in Egypt. We were also in two minds about including lunch in our booking, but in the end we did so and we felt that it was definitely the right decision.

Piramidi templi e segreti del egitto.

Tour veramente bello, scendere dentro queste piramidi da la sensazione del immenso lavoro di architettura di migliaia e migliaia di anni. Rimanere increduli nel vedere tanta precisione in ogni cosa ci sia attorno a te! La fatica vie e ripagata senza nemmeno accorgerti di essere già giunto al termine di una giornata che ti lascerà con una nuova consapevolezza. Guida fantastica, gentile e super disponibile. Grazie a presto Stefano e Valentina!!
