“Ancient Egypt on the road: Dashur, Memphis and Saqqara as you have never experienced them”

5.00Yesterday, February 1st, we had a crazy day with guide Sam, exploring Dashur, Memphis and Saqqara. Sam welcomed us at the hotel and turned every stop into a journey into history. In Dashur, he guided us through the pyramids, recounting compelling details and even taking us inside a pyramid: breathtaking. In Memphis, among ancient remains, he entertained us with curiosity and culture. Finally, in Saqqara, the stepped pyramid left us speechless. Sam was not just a guide: attentive, kind and always available, he pampered us throughout the day, closing with a typical unforgettable lunch. Sam is one of those people you will never forget: super recommended!
Catered tour with great guide. Just what we wanted

5.00This was booked last minute so we were a little short on time. Fady made sure that we visited the places that we wanted to go. He was very knowledgeable, very friendly and very helpful. The driver was also very friendly and stopped if we wanted to take a picture. This tour was much quieter and much more personal. Would definitely recommend
Wonderful day in Sakkara

5.00The best tour I made in Egypt (jan. 2026). My driver Eid was patient, helpful and nice. If you read something about Saqqara and Dahshur you can definitely spare your guide. Buy the all-inclusive ticket + pyramid, and you can spend all your time in saqqara. We skipped Menphis and in Dahshur just visited the red pyramid.
Great choice!

5.00The tour went very well, Ibrahim the driver arrived even 5 minutes ahead of the agreed time. He drove well, always kind and accompanied us to all the places of the itinerary: Saqquara, Dashour and Memphis, giving us plenty of time to see them. And then he drove us back to Cairo in front of the restaurant where we wanted to have lunch. Recommended Emo Tours and very good driver.

5.00Wonderful half day tour to, Memphis,Sakkara, Dahshur. Our driver Ahmad was on time, spoke good English and is a very good and careful driver. He also gave us some pointers as we choose not to have a guide. If you can try and book him you will have a great tour.
It was a very good tour.

5.00He was a young guide, but he was well studied, and his English was good and easy to listen to. The Egyptian food at the restaurant we stopped at was also very good. I had a good time without being asked for any extra charges at all.
Unsatisfactory

2.00The tourist was quite rude and arrogant. He was not at all explaining things well and seemed not well read about facts. In GEM he wanted to quickly push us through , not interested to explain and we could see how other guides were explaining well to their respective groups. Also he did not seem good in his English communication. The driver was good, polite and very accommodative.We will not recommend the tourist guide to anybody.
