Highlights
  • Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids - Start at 8:00 am from your hotel in Cairo or the Giza Guide to start your one-day tour of the Pyramid of Saqqara, located just 27 km southwest of Cairo. The Step Step Button (designed for King Zoser) is an important part of the evolution of the pyramid, which was manufactured from the simple to the widely known form. Then visit the pyramids of Dahshur (Pyramids of Bent and Red). Dahshour is a royal cemetery located in the desert on the west bank of the Nile River about 40 km (25 miles) south of Cairo. It is mainly known for many pyramids, two of which are among the oldest, largest and best in Egypt, which was built from 2613 to 2589 BC. Then visit Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, where there is a huge statue of Ramses II and the great Abboster of the Sphinx. The city dates back to 3100 BC. At the end of the tour around 13:00, you will be transferred to your hotel

Great trip to less commonly visited sites - Went for a half day trip to Saqqara, Dahsur and Memphis, with just a driver (ie. no guide). My driver Ali was very friendly and patient especially! I believe the typical duration for similar excursions is typically 4-5 hours, but being obsessed with taking the ‘perfect’ pictures I took 6 hours. Ali was also helpful in suggesting a couple of local koshary restaurants. Saqqara and especially Dahshur were significantly less touristy (and fewer touts) than the Giza plateau - highly recommended for those who prefer a quieter visiting experience or want pictures without hundreds of visitors in the background.

Highly recommend for any Cairo trip! - This excursion truly beat our expectations! Khaled was a fantastic guide and extremely knowledgeable. He took time to answer all of our questions in detail and never made us feel rushed. We chose this experience over our hotel options as this included all three sites at once and I highly recommend. We chose the option that included a driver, guide, and tickets included.

Exceptional and unforgettable - Our tour guide Abdula was exceptional and made our experience in Egypt warm, welcoming and unforgettable as we wish to come back as kindness and good heart made all the difference in the world. We have travelled globally on all continents and Egyptian people are the best. Irena

Great day trip! - We booked this tour through Viator and chose the guide, entry and lunch option. Was contacted via What’s Up before tour for confirmation. Guide was very knowledgeable during the tour and loved taking photos of us too. Lunch was delicious and we could choose whether to go to other shop options afterwards. Great choice of tour to see the old pyramids.

Underrated spots in Egypt! - Really interesting tour to Memphis, Dashur and Saqqara! We even had free snacks and drinks by our french-speaking informative guide! However, we kinda felt rushed sometimes and didn't have a lot of room for questions but it was still interesting!
