Saqqara necropolis, serapeum and associated pyramids.
Very interesting full day tour to the Saqqara Necropolis, including the Serapeum and associated pyramids (step pyramid, bent pyramid, etc.). We entered quite a few tombs that required unlocking by a caretaker in order to gain entrance. Saqqara, to me is more interesting than the Giza plateau pyramids. A day trip to Saqqara is, in my opinion the best full day tour from Cairo. Our guide was quite knowledgeable and knew his way around the complex. Well worth a return visit, highly recommended.

The tour guides were attentive to our requests and flexible with timing, which made the experience much more enjoyable. Transportation and overall service were good, and everything ran smoothly. A solid experience and a good choice for anyone wanting to explore the pyramids and tombs

Great tour day
We had an excellent tour day with our guide Ahmed and the driver who accompanied us. They picked us up early on Airbnb and, from the start, were very attentive, explaining everything we would visit during the day. In Saqqara, we visit impressive attractions such as the Red Pyramid, the Pyramid of Steps (Djoser) and the Serapeum.
At each stop, the guide explained to us in detail the local mythology and history. Then we headed to Memphis, the ancient Egyptian capital. To close the day, we visit typical shops where we learn about the production of papyrus, essential oils and perfumes. The guide and the driver accompanied us with a lot of patience and professionalism. It was a very positive experience and I highly recommend.

Knowledge and safety
We have a private tour to Saqqara Dashnur and Memphis with Wael Saber.
He is working as a tour guide and egyptologist for more than 25 years.
Wael was born and raised in Giza city. His knowledge of the history and local life is amazing. Very good English, punctuality and safety are priority. As a local, he is able to protect the clients from scammers around.
The service is very personal and we became good friends at the and of the day. We hired him for additional tours in Gaza and Cairo. Very recommended.

Amazing visit of pyramids, temples, mastabas, and tombs (and you can also admire the desert a bit)
Fantastic tour of two pyramid sites, plus the remains of the temple of Ptah of Memphis. Ahmed was a wonderful guide with tons of knowledge. Ousama, the driver spoke English very well either, which was of quite some benefit when we got into a traffic jam due to a burst water pipe.
I saw the inside of both pyramids at Dahshur, as well as the great colossus of Ramses.
Once in Saqqara Ahmed gave me the choice of which places I wanted to see. Since I wanted to see everything there is to see we got a combination of tickets, plus extra tickets for the step pyramid of Djoser, and the Southern tomb. Definitely do the outside of the step pyramids.
Each of the other sites had very interesting things to see, I personally liked the Mastaba of Meneruka, the tomb of Kagemni, and the pyramid of Teti, and the tomb of Ty. So many frescoes, and paintings to admire.
Despite seeing so many things, I didn't feel rushed, and we still managed to be back at the hotel around 4 pm.

Good Tour of the 3 Oldest Pyramids & Saqqara Tombs & Serapeum
Overall, a good tour of the 3 oldest pyramids, the tombs at Saqqara, and the statues at Memphis. The tour started a little awkwardly, because my solo trip was combined with another English speaking family of 3 who had the same itinerary. The 4 of us shared the driver in a mini van and the tour guide Ahmed. I didn’t mind my tour being combined with other Americans, but it was not communicated before pickup at my hotel and I was not given any discount after paying full price for a “Private” tour. That being said, Ahmed was a good guide and very passionate and knowledgeable. I struggled at times to understand Ahmed’s English and follow his complicated explanations for the sites. My focus would drift away when I couldn’t follow what he was talking about. We started at Dahshur, where I felt a bit rushed at the Red & Bent pyramids. But the family I was with wanted to see more tombs at Saqqara, and that was really interesting too. We also saw the Serapeum at Saqqara, which was fascinating and mind blowing to understand. We had a late lunch after Saqqara closed at about 4:00. The food was pretty good and the cost included in my tour package. In summary, I think this is a good tour that just needs a bit of fine tuning to be a great tour. But I definitely recommend it. Honestly, Saqqara on its own is a day trip. And the Dahshur pyramids with Memphis is probably a day trip too. If I go again, I would break this one day up into two days.
