Great trip to Saqqara and Memphis
Another great day with Meraa our tour guide to Saqqara. She was really knowledgable about the sites visited and we were blown away by everything we saw. It finished with a fantastic lunch overlooking the Giza pyramids. Would definitely recommend this trip!

Immersed in the old Egyptian history
Our guide Ahmed Hamed and driver Hamidi picked us up at the our hotel spot on, made sure we had water and juice on our way, and already whole driving we learned a lot. Seeing the countryside life while Hamidi made sure to drive safely over some challenging roads was interesting. Then Sakkara, our guide Ahmed is so knowledgeable and well spoken that we enjoyed every moment and detail of our visit. No hassle with entries and tickets, this was all taken care of very smoothly, and no rush at any site. The driver was always ready for us to go to the next stop. The day was crowned by a nice lunch in a special restaurant with a pyramid view. Memorable ! We were happy to have the same guide and driver also for our next day in old Cairo, this time they already felt as friends.

Good Vibes!
My husband and I had a good time visiting the pyramids of Dashur, Memphis and Saqqara with Ahmed. Saqqara was our favorite.

Ibrahim was an excellent...
Ibrahim was an excellent guide. I could tell he loved sharing history with us! Our driver was good as well. They were on time in a nice clean car. He showed us things the large tours would never see. Don’t go down the long dark crawl in the pyramid. Ibrahim has a better one to see and you won’t get harassed for money.

A brilliant day trip expertly led by Mahmoud, brilliant
Mahmoud Ismail was our tour guide. A real gentleman, very knowledgeable and generous with his time. Giza is amazing but these sites are even better. Collected us in a comfortable car at our hotel and driven safely, even in the Egyptian traffic! He made us very welcome. Followed by a superb lunch, mixed grill, with a roof top view of the Giza pyramids. Would recommend 100%

Excellent Introduction to ancient Egypt
Our guide was Mohamed Elshemei. He was very knowlegeable and patient with questions. The climb into the Bent pyramid was a challenge but worthwhile for the experience.

A great day out with a great guide.
Just did the tour with Mohammed Elshemei. Wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable. Very attentive. Well worth doing. The climb into the Red Pyramid is not fit the faint hearted or unfit. It's tight and very warm. The restaurant for lunch at the base of the Pyramids of Giza with the views was incredible. I had a great day.

Excellent Trip
Our guide was Ibrahim Allam, and driver Ezzat Zizo. Excellent trip, friendly, informative enthusiastic and helpful guide and a great driver with comfortable car. Sakkara mastabas and Dahsur pyramids a real highlight of holiday to Cairo. Definitely worth adding this trip if seeing Giza pyramids and museums. Route out of the city and into countryside and desert interesting contrast with the city and Lunch with a view at the end too. Recommended

A great way to start a trip in Cairo and the Nile.
Meraa Ahmed was our guide. She was well informed, professional and attentive. We learned a great deal about ancient Egyptian history and were alerted to things to take special note of as we visited each site.
We are here in Cairo a few days prior to starting a 16 day tour of Egypt and the Nile. Our tour guide for that trip recommended taking a guided tour of the Saqqara area as it would be a great introduction to everything we would be seeing on his tour. It was just as he suggested. We are so glad we did this and with such a great guide.
