Must do. Check if ur tour operator is offering these places or not. - They are must cover spots, which Indian travel agencies donot cover in their fixed tours. You get a good glimpse of how the perfect pyramid was achieved from step to bent to perfect pyramid. Entry inside pyramid over here is free compared to a costly ticket in Giza. A 5 hours trip, so bargain well when booking. Egypt tourism isnt cheap.

Great visit to additional pyramids/tombs - We had a good tour with Gina and Ferris ( spelling?). They were professional, friendly and shared interesting information about the history of Egypt. It was nice to set out from Cairo and see these more remote villages. And it was a special treat to climb inside a beautiful tomb. A great day!

A meaningful tour of Egyptian pyramids away from the crowds - Dina and Mario took us on the tourist road less traveled to see the early pyramids of Egypt at Saqqara and Dahshur, finishing with a visit to the archaeological relics found in Memphis. It was so special to be able to visit the step, bent, and red pyramids away from the bustling crowds and climb deep into the pyramids themselves. It was a special day augmented by Dina's deep knowledge of history and context of these major accomplishments.

Awesome tour and great times - These guys were awesome. We had Mario who was super friendly, knowledgeable, looked after us from getting scammed, introduced us to some great local food and authentic places to get souvenirs. 10/10 everything you’d look for in a good tour guide.

Pyramids of Egypt - Isaac Nabeh - I would highly recommend visiting Memphis, Sakkara and Dahshur to complete the Pyramids experience. We did Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel Ride, Sakkara, Dahshur and Memphis in a day from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with enough space for photography, lunch and fun time. If you are considering going inside pyramids, please plan accordingly and give 60-90 minutes extra. Inside of pyramids did not appeal to us and we skipped it after 5 mins of going inside one of the pyramids. Mario Nagy was our guide and he was just amazing!
