- Pyramids of Giza - The tour begins with the guide meeting you at the hotel and transporting you in a modern, air-conditioned car with a professional driver to the Giza pyramids. There, you will see and climb the Cheops pyramid (the oldest and largest of the three main pyramids on the Giza plateau). If you wish to enter the Cheops pyramid, the guide will assist you in purchasing the entrance tickets. Later, you will walk around the pyramid until you reach the second pyramid (Kefren pyramid).
- Great Sphinx - After visiting the Giza pyramids, you will travel by car to the panorama zone, where you can view all three pyramids together. This is an excellent spot for taking tourist photos and riding a camel in the Sahara desert. Then, you will proceed by car to the Sphinx statue. The name refers to a creature in Greek mythology; the statue has the body of a lioness and the head of a pharaoh. Another well-known name is the Arabic term “Abu al-Hawl,” meaning “The Terrifying One.” The guide will help you take beautiful photos with the Sphinx and the camel, and the tour will conclude with a local lunch of kushary or falafel.
- Saqqara - Continue your day tour to Saqqara, located about 16.5 miles (27 km) southwest of Cairo. Here, you will visit the Step Pyramid built for King Zoser. It is considered a significant part of the evolution of pyramid construction, transitioning from the simple mastaba to its well-known form. This part of the tour will last about 2 hours.
- Memphis and Saqqara - Then, you will continue your day tour to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, where you will see the colossal statue of Ramses II and the Great Alabaster Sphinx. This city dates back to 3100 B.C.

Megoo was a great guide. He told us about everything up front, so there were no surprises and the trip was great. Our driver was also great and knew exactly what he was doing at all times.
We highly recommend taking this trip when visiting Cairo

The best tourist guide!!! - Dear Mohammed,
I would like to express my deep gratitude for all the help you gave us during our trip to Egypt. Without your guidance and knowledge of the country's history and culture, the experience would not have been as incredible as it was. Your passion for the work you do and your dedication to making our trip memorable was remarkable and made all the difference.
In particular, I want to thank you for taking us to the Cave Church. It was a standout moment of our trip and we never would have discovered this amazing place without your guidance. The experience was transformative and enriching and will be remembered forever.
Furthermore, your knowledge of Portuguese was an immense asset to us. It made us feel more comfortable and allowed us to fully appreciate the rich history and culture of Egypt.
I highly recommend Mohammed as a tour guide to anyone who wants an authentic and enriching experience in Egypt. Once again, thank you for everything you did for us. You are an amazing guide and a wonderful person.
With sincere gratitude!!!

A good way to see the pyramids and other key sites - The tour covered all the key sites to see at the pyramids, saqquara and Memphis. We also had a nice lunch and visited an papyrus factory with (overpriced) souvenirs. All in all a good tour, however our tour guide wasn't very talkative. He gave a few highlights at each location and otherwise quiet unless probed for more information. That said, he was very gracious in taking several great photos of my mom and I. He took them with his phone camera of better quality and sent me the files. I really appreciated this.

Great places to visit- VERY poor experience - Very poor experience as the tour guide that we had and we picked up in Cairo, had NO IDEA what we were doing and where we were going. Also it was the first time he had been a guide in this area and he specialized in antiquity, which is not the case there either.
Our driver was phenomenal, but our tour guide had no idea where we were going and his english was VERY poor.
Lastly the restaurant that they suggest is literally ripping you off. The mentioned price is 15$ (for a meal that in Cairo costs 5) , and somehow we ended up paying 30$ each. 60$ for 2 people in Egypt is the steal of the centrury for a plate of food. You should protect your customers as a company arranging these things not taking us to get robbed in broad daylight. Very poor experice in a very nice place.
