Pyramids

A perfect day. Driver Karin was awesome getting us safely through hair-raising Cairo traffic and guide Sayed Mahmoud was patient, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. Not the ‘big’ pyramids but more accessible with an adjacent tomb with much detail remaining.

Great tour!

We had a wonderful time going to see the original pyramids with our guide Sayed Mahmoud. He is very knowledgeable but most importantly kind. Our driver Mostafa was also fantastic. I highly recommend this tour, going inside the pyramids here was an amazing experience but not for the weak of heart!

Nice sights. Skip the lunch

Nice way to see a lot of sights in half a day. Especially at saqqara and memphis a little bit more time would have been nice. The lunch is a tourist trap; not recommendable at all.

Angenehme Führung.

Der Fahrer und der Führer waren super angenehm. Wir haben interessante Infos zu den Orten bekommen und konnten selbst entscheiden, wieviel Zeit wir wo verbringen. Das Mittagessen war super lecker, eine kleine Palette an arabischen Speisen. Definitiv empfehlenswert.

Private Pyramid time

Climbing into a old kingdom pyramid was great, but being totally alone in both the Red and Bent Pyramids was other worldly.

Best tour and tour guide (Mr Yusuf)

We booked a second tour with EMO and Mr Yusuf to visit Saqqara, Memphis, Egyptian Museum, Citadel etc. Very professional team, very knowledgeable and kind hearted Mr Yusuf took care of us and took us around the places. Never get rushed, he knew exactly what to show and talk on things of interest. Mr Yusuf was also able to share his views on the culture of Cairo and Egypt. I would highly recommend EMO tours and if you are lucky to have Mr Yusuf as your guide then you will get the best out of your trip

Superbe expérience avec Mandour

Première fois pour mon mari et moi que nous prenons un guide lors d'un de nos voyages. Et ce fut une excellente expérience ! Mandour nous a accompagné une journée pour visiter les pyramides de Saqqarah, Dahchour et Memphis. Il parlait très bien français, et a su nous transmettre sa passion pour son pays. Il a été très à l'écoute et aura su adapter les visites à nos envie. Un tel coup de coeur avec Mandour, que nous l'avons retrouvé à la fin de notre périple, au Caire, pour visiter la ville et ses points d'intérêts.

Half day to Memphis and saqqara

Very good tour with sayed Mahmoud. I asked for a quick tour as I wanted to relax in the afternoon. He picked me up on time and allowed me as much or as little time as I like. He has good knowledge

Fantastic tour to pyramids outside of Cairo

Excellent tour to Dahshur pyramids, Memphis, and Sakkara. Sayed Mahmoud was a fantastic guide with good English. Thank you for inviting me for authentic Egyptian hookah and coffee. Great time.

Super GREAT Guide. Excellent command of the history of the sights we visited
