Pyramid sites tour. - Excellent day trip to Saqqara, Dahshur, Memphis and great pyramids. Informative and enthusiastic guide Maryam made the day far more enjoyable and educational than visiting alone. The tour was thorough but did not feel rushed. Highly recommend a trip to Cairo and doing this tour.

Amazing day at Memphis, Saqqara and the Pyramids - Had an amazing day with Maryam and Ahmed. It was a life long dream for both myself and my partner to see the pyramids and we weren’t dissapointed.

Royal experience in Pharaoh’s land - You want this tour and even more you want Maryam as your guide; she is a delight, kind and a knowledgable proud Egyptian plus she takes the best pictures. Special shoutout to travelers with kids: Maryam is fantastic with the little ones, my seven year old adored her to the point of mentioning to her “I will miss you when I go back home” Every spot in this tour is a grand experience and with Maryam as your guide it will be the most memorable day. Don’t hesitate, take the tour and let your adventure begin.

Perfect day trip to explore the pyramids of Giza with ease. - Maryam was the perfect guide. Local and an expert in her field, she explains in detail the sites. She has impeccable English and has a passion for sharing her knowledge. Bonus points she is also a very good photographer and knows where to bring you for the perfect photos. I would highly recommend this tour for an easy and relaxing day around Giza’s otherwise hectic atmosphere.

No words... - This full day tour with the lovely Miryam and Ahmed was absolutely breathtaking, we visited many sites including Saqqara, Memphis, Giza and the Sphinx, starting in Saqqara we toured the step pyramid and its enclosure and also the tomb of Pharoah Unas onwards to the Bent pyramid which was my favourite simply because of the human element to it, there are multiple errors during its construction hence the name "the bent pyramid". Be warned though if you decide to enter the pyramid this is not for the faint of heart as this is extremely exhausting especially if you have any existing ailments. On from there, visited The red pyramid before heading to Memphis for the open air museum visiting the collosal statue of Ramesses II. After we had a delicious lunch with various egyptian cuisine from tahini, to babganoush, egyptian cheese and bread, egyptian rice and BBQ kofta and chicken also a vegetable soup. Highly reccommend the freshly squeezed mango juice! After lunch we visited the giza plateau and the 3 pyramids of Cheops, Khafre and Menkaure before a quick jaunt to the panorama spot where you have fantastic views of Cairo, the Pyramids, the Sahara and Saqqara (mentioned earlier) way in the distance. Then we visited the Sphinx temple and the Sphinx enclosure for more extraordinary photo ops. Throughout the day we visited various local spots from a papyrus shop where you are shown how papyrus is made aswell as having the opportunity to purchase some incredible original artwork (i spent alot of money here 😅) an Egyptian perfume shop made from all natural ingredients excellent gift for your loved ones and many fragrances to choose from, i recommend the papyrus scent and myrr where you rub together for a warm firey sensation, excellent for muscle pain and arthritis amongst many other ailments. Please when you visit these shops, they are governed by the egyptian government so you know its authentic also expect to pay a premium price which they are more than happy to give you a good deal. All in all today has created memories of a lifetime and would love to thank Miryam and Ahmed for their knowledge, time, patience and excellence you wont find a better tour in egypt if i could give a million stars instead of 5 i would!!!! Shukran ya shabab!
