Great tour! We got to see the sights at Sakkara and the bent and red pyramids. The museum at Memphis was very interesting and Ramses was immense! Our tour guide Wael was great. Very well informed and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend this tour and Wael!

With a special permit, you can visit certain tombs as a VIP. Here are some photos. The necropolis of Saqqarah is a must-see in Egypt, offering a very rich experience. You can explore the inner chambers of the pyramids and tombs, although it can be hot inside. The site provides an overview of the timeline of the construction of the pyramids and features impressive structures like the Step Pyramid of Imhotep. Be careful, in the middle of the desert, choose the least hot day of your stay to go there as you walk in full sun.

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

Hussain is an excellent guide; he loves his country, its history, and knows how to tell it. He also knows how to allow time for the visit and to answer all historical questions. He was able to make me feel comfortable entering the heart of a pyramid (a big challenge for someone who is claustrophobic). I recommend him.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!

The tour was overall fine to visit some of the most important pyramids and monuments of Memphis and Saqqara. The guide was good but seemed to rush so he could go to prayer.

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!
