Amazing tour inside bent, red pyramids + awesome history of Saqqara
Amazing 2nd day in Cairo with amazing tour guide and driver! Our driver Sadek was super friendly and safe and kept us on a great schedule. Our guide Ahmed Mahmoud was fantastic! He listened to our every need and was very respectful and knowledgeable which made the whole day fantastic. Seeing the bent, red and step pyramids was a once in a lifetime experience that we won’t forget!

Good value for both...
Good value for both cruise and tour, capturing key sights and highlights of Ancient Egypt along the Nile River. Cruise facilities were clean and service was good. Our tour guide, Mohamed Gobran was thorough and informative, I would definitely recommend him to anyone thinking of booking this cruise. Thank you Gobran for the good experience and your excellent knowledge of Ancient Egypt.

Full day trip to Saqqara
Our guide Ahmed Hamed was outstanding - knowledgeable, informative and friendly. He communicated with us in advance through WhatsApp and picked us up on time. We spent our entire tour time at many sites at Saqqara; this was my choice to modify the itinerary. Ahmed showed us all the highlights at Saqqara, explaining the history and importance along the way. We visited several tombs with wonderful wall carvings and paintings, yet very few tourists were there. We really enjoyed this in depth experience. After the several hour tour, we made a brief visit to a local carpet weaving shop. The trip concluded with a nice lunch at a local restaurant, then returned to our hotel. Ahmed suggested several tasty items. This is a full day excursion so be prepared to walk.
Highly recommended.

Simply the best (almost)
Do not miss the opportunity to visit and enter the Dahshur Pyramids. Our guide recommended that we se these pyramids first before heading to Memphis, and then on to Saqqara. It was an incredible experience to climb down into the tomb complex of the Red Pyramid and then the Bent Pyramid, which was the most challenging. The statue of the Colossus of Ramses II in Memphis was impressive, but otherwise the stop at Memphis was quite disappointing. By the time we got to Saqqara we were starting to run out of steam, which meant the Step Pyramid probably didn't get the attention it deserved. Last stop on the tour was a meal in the city to have our first taste of Koshari. Delicious.
The car picked us up on time at the hotel. We then picked up the guide about 30 minutes later on the way out of the city. The vehicle was a four-seater Honda saloon. The AC was functional, although the driver did seem reluctant to turn it all the way up.
Our tour guide was friendly enough. He gave us a 5-minute introduction to each site and then left us to explore. This approach seemed ideal when we started at the pyramids at Dahshur because the focus was on climbing down into the tomb complex. But at Memphis and pyramids at Saqqara, when he explained that he "wasn't permitted" to accompany us around the sites, my cynicism kicked in, and I felt that perhaps we weren't getting the best service.
Although we covered a lot of ground, given that it cost £150 for the two of us for a half-day, I'm not convinced that we got the best value for money. That said, I have no regrets because the experience, particularly of the Dahshur Pyramids, is one that I will never forget.

Fantastische gids & tour
Wael gaf een zeer informatief overzicht van de vroegste piramides van Egypte. Hij beantwoordde zorgvuldig mijn vragen en zorgde voor voldoende tijd voor foto's. Ik waardeer het vooral dat Wael veel flessen water levert om me gehydrateerd te houden in de hete zon. Ik wil Ali ook bedanken voor zijn uitstekende rijvaardigheid. Kortom een geweldige tour!

Dagtrip naar Saqqara en Dashur
Uitstekende privé dag tour van Saqqara! Hussam en de chauffeur kwamen me precies op tijd ophalen van het hotel om de dag te beginnen. De auto was schoon en water voorzien. Hussam was een geweldige gids en goed geïnformeerd over niet alleen de sites, maar de gebieden van de steden waar we doorheen reden. Hussam beantwoordde al mijn vragen en gaf ook genoeg tijd op elke site om te verkennen op mijn eigen. Trip eindigde met een onverwachte stop om te zien hoe papyrusrollen werden gemaakt zonder druk om souvenirs te kopen. Zeer aan te bevelen Hussam voor een tour van Saqqara.

Een geweldige ervaring met een geweldige gids. Een echte aanrader.
Een geweldige dag over 5000 jaar geschiedenis tot leven gebracht door onze geweldige gids Ahmed. Moeilijk in woorden uit te drukken hoe goed deze ervaring eigenlijk is. Prachtige piramides (uiteraard met inbegrip van de Grote Piramide en Sfinx) in een ongelooflijke omgeving, maar Ahmed's kennis en uitleg maakte de reis heel bijzonder. En een geweldige lokale lunch ook. Uitstekende prijs-kwaliteitverhouding voor een prive-tour.

Leuk avontuur door het oude Egypte
Geweldig bezoek aan drie sets van ruïnes. Saqqara het beste voor mastaba's en glyphs. Het beklimmen en verstevigen van de Rode en Gebogen piramides was vermoeiend maar absoluut geweldig! Hussain was zeer deskundig, vriendelijk en grappig. Ga de rundvlees schwarma voor de lunch. Geweldig!
