So Easy and So Worth It

We just did a half day tour with EMO Tours Egypt to Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahshur and it was amazing. We had Tolba as our driver and he was beyond helpful. He made sure we saw the things that were most important, shared his knowledge with us, bargained for us, and made sure that we made it on time to each site (my husband and I both tend to take a while at each place and almost didn’t make it to Memphis in time). It was such an easy trip and we didn’t have to worry about anything the whole time. Honestly, the easiest way to do it. As a side note, the bent pyramid in Dahshur is not for the faint of heart. The way down is the most difficult we experienced in the Giza area and then getting to the top is quite tight and has bats. I would still say worth it but be warned.

Great pyramid tour

We found and booked Emo tour Egypt online to go to Saqqara, Dahshur and Memphis. Our driver Mo Tolba was great!! To start with, good and clean car, free water, felt safe driving with him. Tolba took us to the places we wanted, helped us getting tickets and pointed out where to go. He came with us at some places but we did most things by ourselves as we liked to. For us this was perfect as we didn’t book a tour guide just a driver. The whole experience was easy and comfortable for us, very worth the money! Would recommend to anyone!

Half-Day Saqqara and Memphis Tour

A visit to Egypt without coming to this tour is unforgivable, especially Saqqara, Memphis could improve it a little is quite deteriorated

Fascinating!

Fascinating to get out of Cairo city on such a short break to witness and experience with amazement each of these various stages in history. The guide was really well-informed, gave me time on my own to wander reflect, and offered comfort breaks if needed. Highlights included seeing the countryside outside of Cairo; standing in the tombs of the nobles and seeing how their journey into the afterlife was planned; and being deep inside a pyramid completely alone to marvel.

Excellent itinerary and great guide

My guide Mahmoud was very knowledgeable about the history of the sites but there was also plenty of time to wander around and have the peace of the sites and wonder and be amazed...

High recommended :)

Saied Mahmoud was an amazing tour guide! He brought all the stories with a lot of humor and patience. He was very respectful and made amazing pictures whenever we asked him to. We recommend this tour with Emo Tours and especially with Saied and his driver Muhammed! (Very nice of them to open the door for us everything we were going inside the car)

We learned so much!

What a fantastic experience. Our guide was Ahmed nour kader, and he knows so much about the history of Egypt and of these beautiful pyramids. His enthusiasm is contagious, the lunch was memorable, filled with local foods, and he helped us see the pyramids in a whole new way. And he took some great pictures of us at just the right angles.

Must do for your visit in egypt

We had a very nice half day to memphis, sakkara and dahshur. Our guide was contacting us one day before to fix the pick up time. We went to the pyramides and had enough time for each of the sights, with a good background information of our guide. Also the lunch we booked was very nice. So in total we can highly recommend to do that relaxing and amazing tour.
