De tour begint met een bezoek aan de Saqqara necropolis, waar u de Piramide van Djoser bezoekt. Deze piramide is het vroegste kolossale stenen gebouw ter wereld. Deze structuur is een fundamenteel onderdeel van de Egyptische geschiedenis, omdat andere piramiden erop gebaseerd waren met verbeteringen.
De oudste stenen structuur in de hele wereld is de trappiramide van koning Djoser dateert uit 2670 voor Christus. tombs around) Met je geavanceerde gids weet je veel meer over koning Djoser, zijn getalenteerde architect Imhotep en de nieuwe ontdekkingen in Saqqara.

Een uniek voorbeeld van vroege piramideontwikkeling in Egypte, dit was de tweede piramide gebouwd door Sneferu. beschouwd als de enige piramide in Egypte die nog steeds de buitenste laag heeft en nog steeds in goede staat is, krijgt u ook de kans om die piramide binnen te gaan, deze is nu van binnenuit open.

De stad Memphis was het machtscentrum van het oude koninkrijk (2686 v.Chr.) van het oude Egypte en de thuisbasis van de farao's die de piramides hebben gebouwd.
Speciaal museum voor het zeer beroemde standbeeld voor koning Ramses de grote 1279 voor Christus. Een enorm kalkstenen beeld in verbazingwekkende staat. Ramses de grote regeerde ongeveer 67 jaar over het Egyptische rijk.
De Sfinx van Memphis is een stenen sfinx in de buurt van de overblijfselen van Memphis, Egypte. Het beeld gemaakt van Egyptisch albast, nog steeds in zeer goede staat, kan de zeer beroemde koningin Hatshepsut 1479 v.Chr. voorstellen. dan begint u aan uw reis terug naar uw hotel.

Grâce à une autorisation spéciale, vous pouvez visiter certaines tombes en VIP. En voici quelques photos. La nécropole de Saqqarah est un incontournable en Égypte, offrant une expérience très riche. Vous pouvez explorer les chambres intérieures des pyramides et des tombes, bien qu'il puisse faire chaud à l'intérieur. Le site offre un aperçu de la chronologie de la construction des pyramides et présente des structures impressionnantes comme la Pyramide à degrés d'Imhotep. Attention, en plein désert, choisissez la journée la moins chaude de votre séjour pour y aller car vous marchez en plein soleil.

When you come to visit Egypt, one of the most important aspects of your trip is having a deep understanding of the archeological sites and artifacts you are visiting. Having a good, knowledgable guide is the key to having this understanding I waited until the end of our week long Egypt trip to write this, and I can say without an absolute doubt that Ahmed was the best and most knowledgeable tour guide we had on our entire trip. His attention to detail, and thorough explanation of Egyptian History and Culture literally set this stage for the rest of our trip. We are able to see subsequent sites on the rest of our trip through a different, more informed lens due to the foundational explanation we got from Ahmed on Day 1. Things like how the pharaoh statues are depicted in life vs death, the different types of scenes inside of old kingdom burial sites vs new kingdom tombs, and many other details stuck with us. We did a full day trip to Saqqara and Memphis, and based on our conversations Ahmed recommended several additional sites that weren’t on our initial itinerary. These additional spots were almost more impressive than the official ones that were a part of our itinerary and we greatly appreciated the way he laid out our day/tour. I will recommend this trip / guide to anyone that comes to Egypt. I only wish we had’ve been able to book him for additional days - the other guides we went with just couldn’t compare in terms of depth and knowledge. 10/10

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hussam from GEM Explore Egypt tour company was an absolutely outstanding tour guide and made our day unforgettable. He took my sisters and me to Saqqara and Memphis, where we saw the incredible Step, Bent, and Red Pyramids, along with the Sphinx in Memphis. His knowledge was impressive—he explained everything in a way that was both informative and genuinely engaging—and his sense of humor kept us laughing the entire time. What really stood out was how much he cared about our experience. Hussam made sure we were comfortable, having fun, and getting the most out of every stop. He also took amazing photos of us, capturing moments we’ll truly treasure for a lifetime. We chose to visit these pyramids before seeing the Great Pyramid, and it was the perfect decision—far less crowded and much easier to explore, which made the experience even more special. He also brought us to a restaurant with beautiful views of the pyramids, and the lunch was delicious. I also want to highlight our driver, who was extremely professional and a very safe, skilled driver. His car was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, which made traveling between sites smooth and relaxing. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, attentive, and fun guide—with a great team behind him—Hussam and GEM Explore Egypt are the perfect choice. Highly recommend!

De tour was over het algemeen prima om enkele van de belangrijkste piramides en monumenten van Memphis en Saqqara te bezoeken. De gids was goed maar leek zich te haasten zodat hij naar het gebed kon gaan.

Our driver, Islam and guide Ola picked us up promptly at our hotel for our tour of Saqqara, Memphis and Dahsur. Although traffic takes some getting used to in Egypt, Islam did a great job of transporting us safely to each of the sites. Ola had a thorough knowledge of the history of the areas and how it fits in to the history of Egypt. She did a wonderful job of explaining what we were seeing and also gave us plenty of time to explore on our own. We finished with a tasty lunch at a restaurant overlooking the Giza pyramids. The whole day and Itinerary went smoothly. It was a perfect day to begin our trip to Egypt!

We had an amazing day out with our guide Abeer and our driver Mostafa! Honestly we enjoyed this tour more than our visit to the Giza pyramids because it was less crowded and there was more to see. Abeer synced with us via WhatsApp the night before and she and Mostafa were waiting for us at the hotel a few minutes early. As Mostafa navigated the adventurous roads, Abeer gave us a summary of what to expect for the day and some historical background. We started at Saqqara with the Step pyramid where Abeer went the extra mile to make it interesting for our 2 kids by asking them questions and even drawing some pictures to make it more interesting. She then pointed out all the most interesting spots. There was so much to see at this stop, including hieroglyphics, paintings, and so many things to explore inside. We really appreciated Abeer making sure we saw all the highlights. After a nice explore, Mostafa picked us up again with the comfortable, cool car and more bottled water. We then arrived to the bent pyramid and the red pyramid. Not only did Abeer advise us which to go in, but they also managed to time it so that we avoided the big tour groups. We ended up going into the red pyramid and it was great! It was more interesting and big inside than we'd imagined and we had the inside all to ourselves. Before we left Abeer took some nice family pictures for us. We then had one last tour stop at a museum in Memphis where Abeer showed us lots of interesting details and answered all of our and our kids questions. Like the whole day she was so sweet with the kids, helping them by the hand and working hard to keep them engaged. We really really appreciated it. Lastly we stopped at a great restaurant for a late lunch where we had freshly prepared barbecue chicken and meet along with a buffet of other Egyptian food. Again I have to thank Abeer and the restaurant because she called ahead and arranged for pasta for the kids which was very thoughtful. She and the staff at the restaurant also played with the kids while we were sitting . I would also be remiss not to mention that the restaurant had an amazing pyramid view. Then we got back in the car and Mostafa dropped us off safely at the hotel. All in all it was a very nice day and we could tell that Abeer and Mostafa did everything they could to make the day comfortable, enjoyable, memorable, and informative. Thank you so much for everything!
