The mysterious sphinx The Great Sphinx in Giza is a mythical creature with the body of a lion (the power) and the head of a human being (the prudence). It is the oldest known monumental sculpture in all of Egypt and is generally believed to have been built during the reign of Pharaoh Khafre (approx. 2558-2532 BC). It lies on the eastern side of the Chafre pyramid and is directed directly from west to east, which is why it was later considered to be the embodiment of the sun god (Hour Am Achet). The Sphinx has been the guardian of the pyramids since its inception.

It was a busy but unforgettable day. Our guide Marcus had an extensive knowledge and a lot of information for us. Our driver drove us safely through the "chaos" of Cairo. A highly recommended excursion. The organization ran smoothly from start to finish.

Dear Memnon Team, We wanted to thank you very much for everything you made possible during our holiday! It started with the airport transfer, everything worked out great, our driver Ibrahim welcomed us warmly and provided us with cold drinks right away. Our private day trip by plane to Cairo was mega! Our driver Ali took us to the airport at 3:30 am and also waited until we were through the first security check. In Cairo our guide Adel picked us up, the man is simply indescribably great, he speaks perfect German, explains everything great and responds to every wish and every question. Also our driver (forgot the name unfortunately) in Cairo was great. We will never forget this trip thanks to nobility! Ali then warmly welcomed us back in Hurghada. We then booked a private tour to Hurghada with Ali as well as the return transfer for our flight home. Ali is simply the best and dearest driver! Thanks again to the whole team and we definitely book with you again:-)

There are missing words to describe what we were allowed to experience thanks to Memnon travels in Egypt. Nevertheless, we try to describe it with our words ;-) WOW, unique, unique, truly sensational, individual, needs-based, top value with a high quality Service and people who work for Memnon and spoil the tourists like us. By chance we stumbled across the homepage of Memnon Reisen on the Internet and just wanted to know if there are tours in Egypt that we could book if we should book a trip to Egypt at all. Memnon Reisen has replied unobtrusively and completely non-committal and meant we should get in touch if we decide on a trip. So it was a few weeks later we booked the Egypt trip to El Gouna. Memnon Reisen spontaneously contacted us via Whats Up and then we decided to book a tour with Memnon. We decided on the flight variant with piramids, museum, Nile cruise, lunch and bazaar visit. TOP - truly a unique Service from the driver who picked us up at the hotel on time and brought us to the airport. Everything was organized that we didn't believe in at first;-) as well as we were never in Egypt. Flight, transfer, tour guide and choice of lunch location was TOP - because we were alone. As a foursome with the tour guide, he also offered a sensible adaptation of the program, which we have adopted: First to the piramids at 08.00 in the morning at 25 degrees then to the museum around noon where it is air conditioned. All other tourists were first driven to the museum as usual and then led to the Piramids in the midday heat. Lunch at an Egyptian top restaurant on the Nile was only attended by locals and TOP, the Nile trip private in a boat only with us 5 people. The guide a lecturer at the university for over 20 years and studied Egyptology - we have experienced insides that we could not read from any books or websites. Delivered on time without stress in a great van to the airport where we then flew to Hurgada without any problems and were taken with the booked driver to El Gouna. All around perfect - a dream and for that we thank Memoun Reisen sincerely. Thanks to this positive and unique experience that flashed us, we booked more tours with Memnon and were able to enjoy 4 great tours in the two weeks of Egypt: Luxor with hot air balloon to sunrise and visit Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, Hatshepsut Temple, Memnon Colossi, Nile cruise and overnight at the hotel A DREAM. Then we experienced a Hurgada Downton tour which was so far ok but Hurgada is not necessarily a Highlihgt. Then we also booked Mahmya Island with snorkel trip which was absolutely a dream the Service of transfer from hotel, by boat then from Mahmya Beach to Mahmya Island and everything on site was top organized. Therefore we booked this tour again and also a quad safari. Thanks to Memnon travel, our first trip to Egypt was a dream, perfect and well looked after all around. The riders on all tours were as great, punctual, no smokers, capable and very pleasant as always helpful. The tour guides stood out from everyone else - just WOW and big praise and thanks to Malek the best Egyptologist who stood by us in Luxor 24 hours and was able to convey the world of the pharaohs in such a way that we felt right in the middle. We had Malek all to ourselves as a couple, called Private Tour, which set us apart from all other groups. Too bad that Memnon offers travel only in Aegpyten Tours - we would like to book it for all countries with you ;-) Thanks Osman for your 24 hours availability. Tarek & Filiz

The day to Cairo was amazing! Our guide was passionate about her job, honest and was looking after us all the time, giving us proper advice. Also, our driver Michael was on time and they adjusted to our request even though we wanted something different than the arrangement from the beginning. The long trip was totally worth it and i would highly recommend them again and again. They were in contact with us all the time from minute one, they explained everything and they were not after money as many people here. I would do any trip anytime with them again

We have already booked the plane trip to Cairo in Germany as it was our first time in Egypt and we were not sure if such trips are offered by the hotel. Communication with Memnom travel went smoothly via What’s App, everything was perfectly planned and thought out. We were picked up at our hotel at 3am and took 2 more participants with us afterwards. Our driver Ali has already conjured up a great mood at this time. At about 5:30 our flight departed from In Hurghada airport, we arrived early at the airport so you could still have a coffee relaxed. Around 6:30 we landed in Cairo and were met by our guide Markus and our driver. Markus was fluent in German and told us some interesting facts about Cairo on the one-hour drive. Once we arrived at the pyramids, Markus also told us about the construction and the history, with plenty of time in between to take photos. After the pyramids we went to the Egyptian Museum, who is interested in Egyptian mythology and history is just right here. At noon there was a delicious meal which was also included in the price. You could choose between different dishes and definitely got fed up. The last item on the agenda was the Grand Bazaar. There we got time to ourselves and were able to stroll through the streets of the bazaar. Finally, we met Markus in a small cafe in an alleyway of the bazaar and drank tea together. On the way back to the car he told us a lot about different buildings and the old town of Cairo. Here we also have to pay a lot of praise to our driver who got us safely through Cairo's traffic all day and always picked us up and brought us there on time everywhere. We had an unforgettable day and very grateful to the whole team for this experience! We can only recommend it!

Contact, communication via WhatsApp, carrying out the day trip - everything went perfectly! Thank you very much Memnon Team, we spent a wonderful day (from Hurghada by flight) in Cairo. Our guide Markus planned the day very well, varied, interesting and always considerate according to our needs as a family (2 children). A big thank you goes out to all the drivers. Absolutely recommended! P.S.: We also booked our airport transfer via Memnon Reisen, which again worked perfectly. Thank you so much!
