Fabulous day out in Cairo

5.00We took the private tour today to Sakara, Dahshor and Memphis. Our guide, Ibrahim and driver Fauzy were waiting for us and were so friendly that it put us at ease straight away. Ibrahim was the most fantastic guide and so passionate about Egyptian history but in a way we could understand. We thought a whole day of ‘pyramids’ might be overwhelming but Ibrahim explained everything so clearly and made it so interesting that I could have easily booked another day tomorrow if we weren’t leaving for Aswan. I must add that Fauzy was an exceptional driver and very funny. I would thoroughly recommend this one day private tour, worth every penny and Ibrahim is a star. Thank you so much for making this day so memorable. Vickie and John Billingham New Zealand

5.00Our best day out being looked after Nadeer and our driver. We visited 3 of the oldest pyramids - Saqqara & Dahshur Pyramids. We had a delicious lunch with a wonderful close up view of the Giza Pyramids. Thanks to Nadeer who was very helpful and extremely knowledgeable of Egypt’s past.

5.00A different experience from the Pyramids in Giza in that you are away from the city and seeing them in what feels in many ways like a more authentic experience.

5.00We went on a fabulous day tour with Hussam. He is a wealth of knowledge and taught us so much along our tour through the early pyramids and to Memphis. Then he took us to wonderful shops and a true cultural experience. We are grateful for our day with him.

5.00Rarely educational! The day before we had a tour of the pyramids of Giza. The pieces fell in place when we took part in this tour. Incredibly exciting to climb 60 and 80 meters down the two oldest pyramids. This trip was really teaching. Skilled driver and a very knowledgeable and engaging guide, Abraham. He also managed to communicate with and engage our three young people on this trip. Can really be recommended.
A great day at Sakkara ,Dahshur and Memphis

5.00We had a good learning experience visiting the oldest pyramids in Egypt. Our guide Ibrahim was very informative and helpful introducing us to the Step pyramid and tombs of Sakkara . Following this we had a visit to Dahshur to learn about the 5 pyramids - the Red pyramid , the White pyramid , the Black pyramid , the Bent pyramid and the only pyramid built for a pharaoh s wife . Finally we had a visit to Memphis and ended the tour with a lovely lunch overlooking the Giza pyramids. Thank you to Ibrahim and Hosein for a wonderful day
Amazing Tour!

5.00What a brilliant day from start to finish .We were met on time by Ibrahim our guide and Hosein our driver.At all times they were friendly ,courteous ,professional & very knowledgeable.If there is anything you want to know about Egypt’s pyramids &history Ibrahim is your man.In Sakkara we were introduced to the first of many pyramids and tombs . We entered some of the tombs and saw walls covered with beautiful illustrations of daily life and hieroglyphics. We were appreciative of Ibrahim’s knowledge in explaining them Leaving Sakara we went on to Dahshur and was introduced to each of the 5 pyramids …the Red pyramid ,the Black pyramid ,the White pyramid ,The Bent pyramid & the Pyramid built for the wife of the pharaoh . Each one had a story to tell . This part of the day we learnt about the history of the earliest stone built pyramids . We then moved on to Memphis the old capital of Egypt where the lower and upper kingdoms meet . Here we were introduced to statues of Ramases 2 and an enormous structure of a Sphinx. By this time our knowledge of ancient Egypt had increased enormously and after nearly seven hours Hosein &Ibrahim took us to a loverly restaurant where we had a truly enjoyable Egyptian meal and view of the pyramids. In addition Ibrahim was a great photographer and we have some great shots of ourselves ! This was a MAGNIFICENT tour which we would fully recommend to anyone.
