Sakkara Memphis and Dahshur - We did the Sakkara and Memphis together with our trip to the Giza pyramids. It was an amazing day with beautiful sight seeing. Our private tourguide Emad Salib gave us all the details about the pyramids. We went inside the pyramids aswell, the guide gave us usefull information about what to expect inside the pyramid. This was different for every pyramid. The Dashur pyramids were the most impressive. They were more adventurous and the hike inside the pyramid was more intensive physically. The guide had prepared us for this hike very well. He gave us all the information about what to expect: like the bats and heat and smell inside the pyramid, but also about how your hike would go (can you stand? how long is de decent etc.).
On our last day (visit to Dashur) our guide made us a special stop at a local souvernir shop because we told him we had nog been able to go shopping just yet and we really wanted to buy something from a local shop. He made the arrangements for us to go into a shop. This was not included in the programme of that day but our guide made sure to go out of his way to make this happen for us.
We had already been with Emad for 3 days and we really enjoyed his company and very big knowledge about the pyramids. He is a skilled and knowledgable guide.

A great experience! - We spend half a day at Saqqara and Memphis and half a day at the Dahshur Pyramids. This was enough time to take your time around the place. I do reccomend going with a good private tourguide. This helps you save time and you can ask all sorts of questions.
Our tourguide was Emad Salib. We spend the whole week with this tourguide. His english is very good and he has lots of knowledge about the Egyptian History (he tells them with a lot of enthousiasm and also knows the awnsers to a lot of our questions, even the ones who had nothing to do with history. But more important, he helps you out in every way that he can + if you tell him what you want from him he easily adjusts to your wishes (do you want lots of stories, or just some details or just go around by yourself, he will adjust to what you want). He even prepared hinself going to a place we requested on going where he did not go before so he could give us some information about this place. So he is really invested in giving you the best experience possible. That makes a trip so much more safe and fun! So get yourself a good private tourguide!!!!

Day trip covering Saqqara, Memphis and Dahshur - After our great Day 1 experience, we decided to continue with Emad Salib for Day 2 to visit Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahshur, and we’re really glad we did. He was professional, courteous, and reliable throughout.
Emad managed the day smoothly, drove safely, and kept everything well organised. His knowledge, clear communication, and positive attitude made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. We would happily recommend him to anyone visiting Cairo.

Great half day tour of Saqqara, Dashour and Memphis - Our recent tour of Saqqara, Dashour, and Memphis City was a very memorable experience, thanks to our guide Emad Salib. His knowledge of Egyptian history truly brought the ancient sites to life. He explained all the intricate hieroglyphics in detail and gave fascinating stories.
He is a passionate Egyptologist, and we highly recommend him and this tour. Thank you Emad!
