We only had a short time in Egypt and this was an excellent tour that allowed us to see not only the famous Giza pyramids but also the sights at Saqqara and Dashur in a single day. Our guide Hussam was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and spoke excellent English. He provided great context for the sights and took some excellent pictures. This was one of the best tours I’ve booked in my travels and recommend it to everyone.

We had an excellent trip. Our driver and guide picked us up on time from the Giza Hotel, and then we headed down to Saqqara first, next on to Dahshur, and finally Giza. Our guide was Hussam and he was very friendly and knowledgeable at all the sites. Because we had a guide with us we also felt 'protected' from other would-be guides and vendors. It's well worth the money to pay for the full package in my opinion.

Our tour guide, Abeer, texted us one day before the tour to arrange the pickup. She suggested starting early at 7:20 and we are glad we did it. It turned out to be a private tour for the two of us. The driver arrived on time, drove carefully and always wore a smile. Abeer spoke clear English and explained well, and she was very friendly and attentive. It was quiet when we first arrived at Saqqara. Standing at the open court before the Step Pyramid, the serenity was unforgettable. We also visited the beautiful tombs of Unas and Teti. Next at Dashur, we had the chance to go inside the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, both included in the ticket. The former was a long way down (~80 metres) and we only did a very small section. The latter was relatively easy and not crowded at all. We could walk and appreciate the chamber at our own pace. If you just want to go inside one pyramid among all, the Red Pyramid is the one. Giza Plateau in the afternoon was less crowded too. We first stopped at Panorama for a camel ride. Our package didn’t include it so we paid on site EGP1000 plus tips per person. The ride was rather short but the guy went all in to take photos for us. Then we spent some time around Khufu’s Pyramid and the Spinx. It was about 3pm when we finished all three pyramid sites (luckily we stopped by a grocery store to buy some drinks and snacks). Three shopping options - papyrus, spices and incense - were offered afterwards. They were optional and it was our own decision to visit the papyrus shop. All in all, we enjoyed our day a lot and couldn’t recommend it more!

We throughly enjoyed this trip! Niveen was our tour guide and we got along really well with her. She offered to take pictures of us, even gave us so much information regarding everything we went to. And we had a lot of fun conversations with her. A lot of fun for the both of us to kickstart our Egypt trip

This is the best tour I’ve ever done. Abeer gave me such a personal experience and was so knowledgeable about everything egyptian history. We explored the Saqqara pyramids, Dashshur and then ended the day off at the great pyramids and the sphinx. She made the information so interesting and fun - I learned so much and was consistently shocked. The day started off at 7am and we ended off at 5pm but it was so worth it. Ahmed, our private driver, was so kind and is an excellent driver in the Egypt traffic. He consistently offered water and snacks and was so friendly the entire time - I truly felt so safe with Abeer and Ahmed. This is genuinely the best tour I’ve ever done and even after my tour, Abeer has checked on me as I am a female solo traveller in Egypt alone. I would 100% recommend Abeer and Ahmed for their next tour in Egypt!!

We could not be more grateful to have made the most of our short stay in Egypt thanks to lbrahim. He built a perfect itinerary for us and thanks to his wise management, we beat queues and visited as many places as we could in a day. His knowledge and kindness made this tour a wonderful, captivating and enjoyable experience for a dad and teenage daughter. Forgot to tell if you want the best shots of your visit, no one better than Ibrahim. I have no doubts in recommending Ibrahim in your plans to visit Egypt.

I had the most wonderful tour with my tour guide Toka, who was absolutely brilliant. The tour was simply perfect: no waiting in lines at all, good car, friendly and professional guide and driver, amazing lunch location. This tour is a real example of a truly 5-star experience, there is simply nothing not to be happy about it. I highly recommend!

We met a great man, Ibrahim is not a common person. His energy and personality are rare to find, as rare are pure crystals in the sand of the desert. His life is a gift to the world, so take the chance to spend time with him. Of course we had an amazing tour in astonishing sites.

The tour is a wonderful introduction to the evolution of the building of the pyramids from the step pyramids of saqarra to the smooth side pyramids we know and love today. Mostafa is a cool and funny tour guide. Aside from a rich knowledge of the pyramid history, he could make everyone feel safe and entertained. It is a whole day affair so be ready. You have the option to actually go inside the pyramids but only the one in saqarra i think is worth it. This tour is worth it.

This journey is much better than we could ever expected before. I was looking forward seeing the evolution building history of real pyramid. Therefore, a good guide is important. He must know the background well and he also needs to really love this history. Luckily we had Ibrahim Allam to be our guide. He knows each pyramid so well. Importantly, he also has his own thinking and opinions, this is very valuable and interesting. We really had a wonderful day together with Ibrahim. Strongly recommend to everyone.
