Around 5:30 a.m. we take a short break in a restaurant. We arrive in Cairo around 8 a.m. and first take a small city tour of old Cairo so that you can get to know real life in Egypt better. Then we visit the Egyptian Museum, the treasury of 7000 years of civilization.

  2. Great Sphinx

    The mysterious sphinx The Great Sphinx in Giza is a mythical creature with the body of a lion (the power) and the head of a human being (the prudence). It is the oldest known monumental sculpture in all of Egypt and is generally believed to have been built during the reign of Pharaoh Khafre (approx. 2558-2532 BC). It lies on the eastern side of the Chafre pyramid and is directed directly from west to east, which is why it was later considered to be the embodiment of the sun god (Hour Am Achet). The Sphinx has been the guardian of the pyramids since its inception.

Pivat trip to Cairo for late risers 🤩

We were in Cairo for a day yesterday. Our guide was Jacob. He's a great person! He has an incredibly great knowledge and has taken us deep into the ancient Egyptian world, especially in the GEM. We had a perfect day. Jakob took us on the paths outside the tourist streams and adjusted very responsively to us. Totally crazy what you can experience in one day in Cairo when everything flows so perfectly into each other. Achmet was our driver. We felt very safe in this chaotic city traffic with Achmet and he picked us up again super reliable and just in time at every spot.

Great Excursion!

We went to Cairo for my partner's birthday with Memnon Reisen. It was our first time in Egypt and then it is always a bit exciting where exactly you booked an excursion. Almost immediately I had a nice feeling about this. The communication with Mahmoud via both mail and by whatsapp was mega fast and super friendly. We were picked up in the night at our Resort here our driver was right on time. Mahmoud drove us from location to location all day, also my respect as the excursion lasted almost 19 hours in total. Even when I wasn’t feeling so good in the car Mahmoud tried to help in every way. Once we arrived in Cairo we got the sweetest but also the very best guide Honey. It has surprised me how much knowledge and love this man has about/for Egypt. He spoke super English and gave a lot of information I had never heard before. The pyramids and the museum were fantastic. The lunch was very tasty and very special for us as Honey had made sure my partner's birthday was not forgotten. We really had a very nice but especially beautiful day. If you have the chance to take some more time in your holiday, take the 2 day excursion with a flight. That really gives you more peace and time to see everything. It's a really long day but it's once in a lifetime!

A very nice day with a French guide

We were 3, as a family and took the private tour. A minivan only for us. 2 drivers. Perfect trip. An Egyptologist guide just for us for our guided tours in French of the pyramids, the Sphinx and the museum. Great! Very good explanations. A lunch break in a typical restaurant excellent 👍. We loved the day. Everything went as we asked. Nothing more has been imposed on us. Return to the hotel at 8pm without any worries. No need to. Yeah, good!

Top agency in the top class with 5+ stars!

My family (4 adults) made the day trip to Cairo. From the first request via WhatsApp to the reliable contact with Osman, punctual pick-up in a private, modern mini-bus exclusively for us, the two super nice drivers Karam and Shoanah as well as our guide Adel in Cairo, who explained everything to us in perfect German, we felt safe and well looked after at all times. The short trip to Cairo was the highlight of our trip and we owe it to the fantastic team of Memnon. The price is absolutely fair and cheaper than other providers (you like to give another drink). Very patient (no time pressure), flexible and helpful in all situations. We gladly recommend this provider, as it has earned our trust in all aspects: 5+ stars! We will book again next time with you:-)

Just top class.

A beautiful and well organized excursion. Communication worked great, our driver and our guide were absolutely great. We are absolutely thrilled and looking forward to our next trip to Luxor. Great team and an unforgettable day. We are glad to have booked with Menon.

Again and again

Mega Ausflug😄 We were on a private tour with Shauki and Ali to El Gouna. We learned a lot about the country and its people. But what we need to emphasize is Shauki. We had a lot of fun with him and laughed a lot. He's super likable and a fragrant guy. Also Ali as a driver was very accommodating and polite. We can recommend this organizer 100%

An unforgettable day at the pyramids

We booked the day trip to Cairo to the pyramids. We were picked up at 1:15 am at the hotel by two drivers in a cozy and pleasantly air-conditioned minibus. The drivers were very nice and took us relaxed and safe to the destinations (pleasant without music). Toilet stops were also possible at any time. In Giza we were welcomed by our guide. He was also totally nice, speaks excellent German and was able to convey his great knowledge in a very understandable way. We also learned a lot about Cairo and Egyptian life from him. The pyramids and the Egyptian Museum were a real highlight and very impressive. There was also plenty of time for great photos:) We were able to enjoy lunch in a typical Egyptian restaurant where we were warmly welcomed. It was a great experience and very delicious. We were completely satisfied with this wonderful and unforgettable day. Thanks to Memnon Reisen and Osman for the great organization.

perfect day

Exceptional day! Easy booking via WHATSAPP, with a correspondent answering in French. A deposit was sent by paypal and we then paid the rest directly to the driver who picked us up from the hotel. We chose the day in Cairo from Hurghada, by plane, with guide and private transport (we were 5 adults). The guide was great, his explanations very interesting. Unfolded today: Morning departure 4am from the hotel (we were 30min from the airport), then flight at 6am and arrival in CAIRO at 7am. The guide was waiting for us when we arrived. We went straight to the Pyramids, which helped avoid the crowds. Then we stopped at a papyrus factory, perfumes and had lunch in a restaurant. Too bad that lunch drinks are not included in the price (but it's okay, 2€ a soft drink, 1€ a small bottle of water). Then head to the Cairo Museum. We had to go to a souk but preferred to go to a typical mall to buy spices. Return to airport at 6pm, flight at 8:50pm. Superb day, friendly driver, perfect guide. Thank you, I highly recommend Memnon Voyage. I'll definitely go through them again.

Flawless, will use again and again

Memnon arranged all the aspects of the trip perfectly, Driver arrived on time and was very knowledgeable on the area, was always there when were moving to our next venue. Hanni out guide was a huge amount of fun, clearly was an expert in the field and made sure we got to see everything and were happy the whole day. Memnon are undoubtedly the best to book with for any excursions in Egypt

Best day trip to Kairo ever!!!

My tour started with pick up from The Breakers in Soma Bay. The driver was on time and arranged everything perfectly during the drive to Kairo, where Adel, my guide for the day, already awaited us. Adel is a very polite, knowledgable and friendly guide. I very much enjoyed his expertise about the pyramids, the Sphinx, the Egypt Museum and Kairo itself. I can recommend Memnon Travel 100%. The communication with Osman was always very polite and I instantly received replies. Thank you so much to the whole team!!! I will definetely come back next and have already recommended the tour with Memnon Travel to guests at my hotel. Shukran gesiran!!! 🙏👏👏😃
