Highlights

Pyramids of Giza - During your visit to the Pyramids of Giza, you’ll explore one of the most iconic and awe-inspiring landmarks of ancient civilization. Located on the Giza Plateau near Cairo, these majestic structures, including the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, will transport you back over 4,500 years to the time of the pharaohs. As you walk among these ancient tombs, you’ll witness firsthand the incredible architectural and engineering feats achieved by the ancient Egyptians. You’ll also encounter the famous Sphinx, with its lion’s body and the face of a pharaoh, believed to represent King Khafre. This site, steeped in history and mystery, offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in Egypt’s rich heritage.
Pyramids of Dahshour - When you visit the Dahshur Pyramids, located just south of Cairo, you’ll discover some of Egypt’s most remarkable and historically significant structures. At this site, you’ll explore the unique Bent Pyramid, with its distinctive shape created by a change in the angle of its sides, offering a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of pyramid construction. You’ll also visit the Red Pyramid, Egypt’s first successful smooth-sided pyramid, standing at an impressive 104 meters tall. Named for the reddish color of its limestone blocks, the Red Pyramid represents a perfected version of pyramid architecture, showcasing the advanced engineering skills of the ancient Egyptians. This visit offers a unique opportunity to delve into the history and innovation of early pyramid building.
Step Pyramid of Djoser - At the Pyramids of Djoser, located in the ancient necropolis of Saqqara, you’ll encounter one of Egypt’s most significant historical monuments. Known as the Step Pyramid, this incredible structure dates back to the 27th century BCE and is celebrated as the earliest colossal stone building in Egypt. Built during the reign of Pharaoh Djoser by the brilliant architect Imhotep, this pyramid marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of pyramid design. As you explore the Step Pyramid, you’ll gain insight into the origins of monumental architecture in Egypt, offering a unique window into the ancient world and its remarkable achievements.

Best tour guide in Egypt! Amazing, knowledge, patient and friendly! I would recommend this tour 10/10 - Throughout our whole Egypt trip we took 4 guided tours. Without any comparison Sharif was the absolute best. Sharif is everything you would expect in a tour guide and more: -He is super knowledgeable about Egypt history and all of its periods. -He was patient with us, answered every question we had, shared stories about growing up in Egypt. -He helped us take photos (he is a very good creative director 😁) -He made sure we understood everything didn't rush, took his time with explanations, made us feel safe. -He gave us tips on restaurants and cafes, helped us with the camel drivers (as we had seen some crazy stories in YouTube) and adapted the tour to our needs and pace. Overall it was a pleasure to have a tour with him, we could tell he really enjoyed giving tours and that made us enjoy the experience a lot, he is a very friendly and fun man and I would take the tour with him anytime I go back to Cairo. In fact I'm going back in a couple of months and I have already contacted him to arrange the tours. So really, if you want to have a tour around Cairo I would no doubt chose Sharif, best in business without a doubt. Thanks for everything Sharif and see you soon!
