Pyramids and ruins - The communication from the tour operator and guide was great, and the driver arrived right on time. Our guide, Bishoy, shared lots of information about history, culture, and politics We learned that the step pyramid (Sakkara), is the oldest in Egypt. It was amazing to see and we also had an opportunity to venture down into the tomb of a different pyramid. That was a bit of an adventure, but definitely worth it! We also visited Memphis which was the first capital of Egypt. Lots of ruins and the largest statue of King Ramses II. So much to learn and experience!!

More than amazing! - Tamer and Marsil were amazing during our tour. They took us to try local food and beautiful museums. We also toured Sakkara and were able to see wonderful craftsmanship on the pyramids. They took wonderful photos and made us laugh. The best part for me was their kind hearts and kind spirits. They are both so loving. I feel like I’ve known them both for a lifetime. I can’t wait to come back and visit Egypt again. I personally would love for them to be our tour guides again. I highly recommend them both. We felt very safe with them. Thanks again to you both. You are both very loved by myself and my husband. You made our trip more than amazing! We love you guys. 🥰

Remove yourself the stress and pain - Book a private guide - In Cairo Egypt, book a private guide for all your activities because you skip the hustle of the chaos on the road, you get an easy and efficient access to sites with a support for unplanned situations, and you are no rush with time like when within large group. Egypt tip: Always carry cash to tip people and please, be kind to everyone and your travel experience will be kind with you.

Great Sakkara excursion - This was a great tour to get to see other ancient Egyptian sites near Cairo aside from what's at Giza. Our guide Abdellatif was right on time, personable and had great communication. We got to pick from his suggestions of activities around the ones in the title, which would have extended the tour a little bit. Instead we chose to spend a bit more at the step pyramid of King Djoser, as the site was magnificent. Abdellatif gave us plenty of time to explore on our own. As a tip not mentioned in the description, make sure you have a bit of cash for tipping the men who take you into the pyramid of Teti (there doesn't seem to be a way to avoid them), and make sure you've got water for the Sakkara complex walk to stay hydrated!

Interesting! - After a drive through the crazy traffic, we arrived in Sakkara. We were able to to shuffle down a short tunnel to see the burial chamber and rooms of King Teti - not much to see really, although there are some ancient texts, but the fact it is so old is breath taking. The preservation above ground is terrible with so many of these ancient structures and statues. The surrounding tombs in the area had more inscriptions and some colour. The Step Pyramid - is in poor repair but the stories from the guide brought it alive.
