Tour with guide Salib - We had an amazing day tour with our guide Salib. He was extremely knowledgeable and explained vast amounts of history and details for each site we visited including an overview of ancient Egyptian history as well as fine details down to explaining specific meanings of the inscriptions on walls. He was flexible in our schedule also, allowing us to re-organize the order in which we visited the sites.

10/10 - Great experience, highly recommend to anyone wanting to see the pyramids/sphynx and learn more about Egyptian history. My boyfriend and I both agree we got huge value for the price. Our guide, Osama, and driver, Ibrahim, were professional, timely, kind and super knowledgeable. Between historic sites they took us to a delicious lunch and a Papyrus shop where we learned about ancient paper making and purchased souvenirs for friends and family. We wouldn’t change a thing, 10/10!

Amazing tour - The guide Salib is amazing! Everything was perfect, right after we started the tour he was telling us everything about Egypt and History, answering all of our questions and he noticed that my girlfriend doesn’t speak English, so he gave me time between one and other explanation to translate everything to her. His knowledge about ancient Egypt civilization is remarkable. The entire tour was great, he was very careful with our wellbeing (offering water from time to time, suggesting a nice restaurant, explaining the necessary effort in order to enter the pyramids, and also helping us to find a sunblock 😅). He is an excellent tour guide and probably an even better photographer, we are going home with a lot of memories and nice photos 😁 We really appreciate everything that Salib did. Thank you so much for your great job!

Amazing Pyramids Tour! - Salib was an amazing guide and Essam was a great driver! We went to the Pyramids at Dashur, Sakkara, and Giza. I had the opportunity to go inside all of the ones I wanted to, which was a big highlight for me. Salib was very informative and knowledgeable about Egyptian history. He also was very patient when I was taking loads of pictures. Essam expertly drove us through the chaotic streets of Egypt. I highly recommend this tour if you want to see all of the amazing Pyramids around the Cairo area.

Amazing Saqqara, Dashur and Memphis trip with Salib - We went on a trip 7h trip with Salib to Saqqara, Dashur and Memphis. Salib is very nice and also highly knowledgeable. He knew everything about the 3 pyramids (step pyramid, bent pyramid and red pyramid) we visited as well as grave sites for prime ministers. He had really detailed explanations about what the shape of a beard or the clothes and the leg positions mean on a statue. We asked some more questions that were not part of the tour (for example on the differences of representations between Ramses II and Akhenaten) and he had really detailed explanations. He also made sure we had enough water at all times without extra cost. There is a possibility to have lunch, but we didn’t do that (we had a very big dinner the night before). We paid $160 for 4 of us (this could of course change with exchange rates … Egyptian pound changes quite a bit). Money really well invested. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Amazing tour with Salib! - Guide: Salib Driver: Essam They came pick us up at the hotel. Even though it was just the two of us they didn’t cancel the trip - we ended up having a private tour! Salib has unlimited knowledge of Egypt and its history. He was able to answer all of our questions, adding a lot of interesting details and information not only connected to the sites. He gave us enough time to explore, take pictures and chill. I highly recommend him for his professionalism and kindness. Essam is a professional driver managing to navigate through the difficult traffic of Giza, always ready to open (and close) the car door for us!🤩 The tour was worth it!

Great Tours in Cairo - We had a private guided tour to several Pyramids in Cairo. The next day we saw Coptic Cairo and the National Museum. Salib was an excellent tour guide with lots of knowledge about Egyptian history and he was able to answer every question we had. He made sure that we had a wonderful experience on our tours. Essam our driver should win a prize for his great driving in the Cairo traffic. He always stayed calm and we felt very secure and were able to relax. Thanks for this great experience!

Pyramids and ATV Tour - Amazing tour. Good combination activities. Was wonderful to learn about the pyramids in all 3 sites. Saqqar was amazing! Salib our guide was wonderful. From our initial contact, planning what we wanted to experience, to when we met him and the whole tour. Great communicator, calm, punctual. The whole experience was relaxing and exciting at the same time. Salib’s in-depth knowledge was amazing yet he kept the whole experience nice and simple. Essam our driver was also lovely, patiently looked after us. Confident driver. Salib and Essam make a wonderful combination :) Over all we felt well looked after, loved our experiences in Giza, which will stay in our memories forever.
