What an amazing day!
We were pick up right on time from the front door of our hotel. Our driver, Mahmoud, did an expert job navigating the streets of Cairo. Our first stop was Saqqara where we had the opportunity to enter the pyramid. It was cool to see the rooms, carvings and construction. Our guide, Entesar Esmail was amazing. She clearly has a passion for Egyptian History and is well informed. She was great about being present and answering questions but she also knew when to give me and my husband space. This is a very difficult balancing act and she managed it expertly. After the Saqqara Monuments we went to a carpet weaving school where we had the opportunity to see how the carpets were made. We ended up purchasing a small rug at a discount but we didn’t feel any pressure to purchase anything. Our next stop was the red pyramid. We walked up the side of the pyramid and my husband descended the 30 meters to the lower chambers inside the pyramid. The space was very warm and cramped so I passed on it. Our final pyramid was Dashur. We could have walked around it but we decided to simply admire it from the one side. After this we went to see the sphinx of Memphis. All the site were outstanded. After that we had a buffet and grilled meat lunch. Beverages are not included but juice and soda was $2. The food was very good. We really enjoyed ourselves and Entesar was a big reason why.
The only con was that our main guide was not allowed to go into the pyramids and you can’t go in without a “park” guide. The park guides were nice enough but they add very little and require a tip. Bring small bills for them.

Good trip, need better tour guide
The trip itself was really good, however paying for a tour guide who was trying his best to read to information from his phone was not what I expected. The driver had better English, was more interested in the trip and was more chatty than the tour guide.

Si pueden quedarse tu dinero, lo harán!!
No te van a ayudar nunca.
Hicimos una reserva y la hicimos errónea. Cuando intentamos modificarla, nos la cancelaron, y perdimos el dinero.

el tour de Egipto más top !
Maravilloso ! La guía Azala Sola debería ser la faraona, fue muy atenta y amable y nos mostró Sakkara, Menfis y Dahshour todo en un día. Muy muy recomendable ! Nos lo pasamos genial y lo aprendimos todo sobre Egipto. Tuvimos mucha suerte con ella y con el conductor Tamer, los dos fueron un 10 !

Las pirámide
En tierras de faraones bajo el sol dorado,
vivimos un viaje bello y soñado.
De piedra y misterio, al cielo elevadas,
vimos tres joyas, majestuosas y sagradas.
La Pirámide Escalonada, orgullo ancestral,
nos habló de un tiempo sin igual.
La Roja, en el desierto resplandeciente,
se alzó serena, firme y potente.
Y la Inclinada, con forma singular,
nos hizo en su historia profundamente pensar.
Cada bloque, un susurro del ayer,
cada sombra, un secreto por saber.
En Menfis, la antigua capital,
nos saludó el coloso con gesto inmortal.
Vestigios de gloria, de un reino sin fin,
entre palmeras, piedras y jardín.
Gracias a Baher, firme en su andar,
por conducirnos sin cesar.
Y a Ahmed, con voz clara en español,
que tejió las historias bajo el sol.
Fue un día completo, de sol y saber,
un regalo del Nilo al atardecer.
Guardo el viaje en el alma y la piel,
como un verso tallado en papiro fiel.

Great experience!
So is a very good guide. She is very knowledgeable and can provide you with a lot of interesting information about ancient Egypt and little fun facts too! Her English is perfect and she definitely seems to enjoy what she is doing. We booked a private tour and our driver and her were very punctual, waiting for us outside our appartment building at the specific time. I would highly recommend this experience. The Sakkara and Dahshur pyramids are definitely worth visiting and very impressive to see (especially the step pyramid)! Overall, the tour was exactly what we had booked online and there was absolutely no pressure to visit different places or shops to buy anything. We would definitely go on more tours with this company!

Great Info
Our guide was an hour late, then he tried to tell us he was giving us things for free to make up for his lateness-I knew he was not offering us anything extra. He was very knowledgeable and likable
