An amazing afternoon exploring the other pyramids - It was an amazing afternoon exploring the complex of the Step Pyramid and Memphis! My guide, Ehab, was knowledgeable and made tour enjoyable. He took great pictures of me which was an added bonus. The driver Mohamed, was professional and made me feel safe in the crazy Cairo traffic. After the official tour ended, I was able to extend it to include seeing the Bent and Red Pyramid in Dahshur, which made my afternoon complete!

Great day thanks to Ehab! - Our guide Ehab was very friendly and knowledgeable. Our driver Ahmed did a great job always being ready for us when we exited our stops and navigated expertly. Ehab is highly educated and has even worked in archeological.

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.

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.
