My tour guide, Ali, did an amazing job of telling a great story as the tour progressed. Seeing the pyramids was stunning. It amazes me how these things were made especially in ancient Egyptian times. The lunch was great as well! Ali does a great job of making sure you don’t get ripped off by vendors. I’d recommend this service to my friends.

A visit to Saqqara is a must for people that's traveling to experience the pyramids and egyptian history, don't skip it! Very interesting and the sites are amazing. I would recommend this tour as the places are hard to travel alone and not so well signed. Our guide Hussam enhanced the experience and telling of egyptian history (and he is great taking pictures!)

Ahmed, our guide, arrived right on time to our hotel, and quickly whisked us off to Saqqara. He was very friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about the pyramids of Saqqara & Dahshur, and the surrounding areas. He allowed us plenty of time to explore the pyramids, and recommended what to do, and what not to do based on expectations. We also stopped in Memphis for the museum, where he gave us ample time to explore the collection of statues and relics. We stopped for an amazing lunch before he returned us to our hotel. He was personable and professional, and didn’t hesitate to offer us to reach out with any additional questions, additional tours, etc…. We feel like we have a friend in Cairo! Exceptional!!!!

We had the most fantastic trip! The BEST trip I've been on in 3 visits to Egypt. The Dashur and Saqqara pyramids are truly awesome & inspiring inside and out! We would recommend taking a walk around the bases as there is a small surprise on one side that we felt made the rather sandy walk worthwhile 😁 Our guide Ibrahim and driver Faisal were excellent. Ibrahim especially was warm, funny, incredibly knowledgeable and treated us like family. Memphis was also excellent and provided a fantastic opportunity to ask questions about hieroglyphs and cartouches as the main statue of Ramses II here has 10! Lunch was fantastic, held in a restaurant whose name means "home, sweet home". It was so fresh, tasty and filling! 😍 Our trip was very much on our timeline, we could spend as much time as we liked at each site with Ibrahim providing the most fascinating information and answering every question we asked. We had wonderful conversations that really made us think which was brilliant! We loved the whole trip but the pyramids hold a special magic that was made so much more magical by our guide and his knowledge. We would definitely book with GEM in future and we would love to have Ibrahim as our guide again. Thank you my friend for a truly exceptional day x

We were lucky enough to visit Saqqarah/memphis/Dahshur with Ibrahim and what a truly lovely day we had. Years of experience and still hugely passionate about Egypt, ibrahim was the perfect guide. The trip itself is excellent and we would thoroughly recommend to anyone. Thank you - a brilliant, fun day x

Very good tour of "lessor known " pyramids. Our tour guide Lobna gave us a comprehensive history of the pyramids, and Egypt in general.

The pyramids of Giza might be more famous, but the ones in Saqqara and Dahshur are actually more important when it comes to history. This tour really helped us understand where it all began and how the pyramids developed over time. Thank you, Ibrahim, for taking us on this interesting trip. Like a teacher, you helped us learn more about the history of your country.
