Travel back over 4,000 years on this private tour to the ancient treasures of Memphis, Saqqara, and Dahshur — the origins of pyramid building and royal power in Egypt. Discover Memphis, the first capital of unified Egypt, and see the impressive colossal statue of Ramses II. Continue to Saqqara, home of the famous Step Pyramid of Djoser, the world’s earliest large-scale stone structure. Then head to Dahshur, a peaceful desert site where the Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid reveal the evolution of pyramid design. Led by an expert Egyptologist, this tour uncovers the roots of Egyptian civilization in a relaxed and informative way, with lunch included and comfortable private transport.

    I’m from Korea and I came to Egypt. I really enjoyed my time at the Pyramids and I learned a lot about the area through our tour guide Ezzaldin who was with me today. He explained everything to me in detail. His explanation and the time with him were excellent, more than excellent. We also went to the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, the oldest museum. We discussed some of the artifacts and I saw the Hatshepsut Sphinx. It was the first time I discovered there’s another sphinx besides the Great Sphinx in Giza. We also went to Khan el-Khalili and saw the artworks there that represent ancient Egyptian civilization from the Pharaonic era, as well as the Islamic, Greek, and Roman periods. Today was beautiful. Thank you so much Ezzaldin for your effort, and thank you also to our driver Sherif for his smooth driving and the good service you provided for us today. Thank you all very much.

    I had an amazing experience on the Pyramids and Sphinx tour with Hana and Ahmed. Everything was perfectly curated from start to finish, making for a seamless and enjoyable day. Both Hana and Ahmed were extremely professional, welcoming, and attentive throughout the tour. Hana, our guide, was exceptionally knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights about the history and significance of the sites. Her communication was outstanding, and her excellent English made everything easy to understand and engaging. Ahmed was also a fantastic host, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and that we were comfortable throughout the experience. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the tour and would highly recommend Hana and Ahmed to anyone visiting Cairo. Thank you both for such a memorable experience!

    I wish the price of the tourvwas the actual price. At the end of the tour, you're expected to give more money.And I just feel like if they wanted more money , just charge me the money up front so that I would know. I only had a limited amount of cash on me and that cash was really for other things.I felt pressured at the very end to provide a tip because our tour guide turned around and looked at us and asked us to give him a tip and the driver. He did this after giving me the scan for this and asking me, did I finish the.Review for this. I hadn't finished the review because my internet was acting up and I was trying to upload some Photos. So just remember whatever amount you're paying.Add almost twenty percent to that , because they're going to expect you to tip them. And This is kind of annoying to me. I guess this was very annoying because the atms in Egypt were running out of cash as well. Everything else in the tour was great. We ended up going to the perfume shop instead of going to the museum.Because we had already been to the museum.I do feel like the perfume shop that we were taking to was very much overpriced , as I have been in egypt before. But the smells were good and the service was good. Actual Pyramid tour is really good, but it isn't really a private tour, because of the way that egypt now has its set up so basically , you have a private car and that car takes you to the ticket booth , and then from the ticket booth you get on a shared bus and you go to the pyramids. What's good now compare to the last time we were here.Is that now you can pay for your ticket with your card. And so you don't have to worry about having cash , which is really great , because a t m s do run out of cash a lot here. He did amazing job taking pictures and just being pleasant in general. He was calm and relaxing and he wasn't overwhelming in his demeanor. The car was a very good car.It was clean and had a good air conditioning and it looked like it was well taken care of. The lunch was good and western style although I personally prefer Egyptian food 😋 and would have liked that choice. There were access to clean restrooms. I suggest you bring a small lunch box with water and Drin. KS, because the drinks at the restaurant were overpriced.For example, for a soda, it was $3 and for a regular drink.It was five dollars. The spine was nice and I enjoyed it. One thing I will say that I appreciate that the Egyptian tourists authority has done is there is significantly less people.They are trying to scam you than it was.When we first came here. All in all the colors very good and I did myself , and I would definitely suggest it to someone else.

    Shady is a friendly and very informative guide. Doing these sights as a tour was really convenient and would be difficult to do otherwise. I was happy to tick all of these boxes and get some interesting background info along the way.

    Ayman was an awesome knowledge guide who made our day in Cairo wonderful. Sherif was a fantastic driver, with a great car. I felt very safe driving with him. Not rushed but given time to enjoy the sites of these wonderful places. Highly recommend for a day before or after a bigger tour like we did

    Wow! What a beautiful day spent with our guide Shady on a private tour. He's the best guide you can get! He is very friendly and attentive to what we want to see, he takes beautiful photos and he really knows a lot about Egypt. He can even read hieroglyphics! He also knows the tricks to not get caught in the crowd. I really recommend it!
