Very nice and enjoyable half day tour to Sakkara - We had a wonderful half day visit to Sakkara, Memphis and Dahshur. Our tour guide is great - very knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and took a lot of good shots for us. He messaged us the day before to confirm the pick up time and arrived in our Movenpick hotel on time. On our way to Sakkara, he drew the time line and sketches of the evolution of pyramids and social as well as ideological backgrounds. This tour is important prerequisite for our coming visit to Giza pyramids and grand museums. I recommend this tour as well as Zizou our tour guide. Our driver is also very reliable and considerate.

perfect experience, amazing guide - The tour is everything we needed. We were able to see and went inside the step pyramid, the bent pyramid, and the red pyramid. Shout out to our guide Hazem for his exceptional work - he has a profound understanding of the sites we’re visiting and would always look out for our interests. Highly recommend the tour if you’re interested in delving deeper into the history of pyramids!!

A must visit only only one hour south of Cairo - We had a brilliant trip to the ancient sites of Daphur, Memphis and Sakkara guided by the very knowledgeable Mohamed Gomaa and the driver Ehab who arrived at our hotel on time as indicated. Mohamed was very patient with our questions and allowing us the time and space to let us explore on our own after having given us a substantial amount of information around the site. We also had our group photos taken periodically at key locations. Would recommend!

Wonderful tour of Saqqara, Dahshur and Memphis - As a family of four including two children we spent the day with Hassan (our amazing guide) and Sabry (our excellent driver) exploring Saqqara, Dahshur, and Memphis. Hassan was friendly and deeply knowledgeable about all the monuments and was happy to share that knowledge with us. He was happy to go at our pace and was great with the kids. Sabry drove us carefully and safely in his comfortable minibus. I couldn't recommend this tour highly enough, it was superb!
