Enjoyable half-day excursion - We visited Saqqarah, Dahschour and Memphis before being transported to the airport. It was a half-day excursion with transport, chauffeur and guide. The tour was enjoyable, well planned and well executed by the team . Our guide, Amira was fantastic. She gave us in-depth explanations on every monument and took her time to thoroughly answer our questions. She also spared us enough time to discover the sites on our own. Amira was very methodical in executing the itinerary. She helped us enjoy our last day in Egypt without stress and catch our flight on time. Our chauffeur, George was also kind and punctual. He helped us taste falafel the Egyptian way as he explained which we found was a pleasant experience.

A different experience in Dahshur, Memphis, and Saqqara. - My guide Sayed Mahmoud was very knowledgeable, he is a good communicator with a good command in English. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the less visited pyramids and tombs outside of Cairo.

TOUR WITH OSAMA TOP - Fantastic guide and wonderful places! Our experience with tour guide Osama was absolutely exceptional. After taking the tour to Saqqara and Memphis, we decided to extend our adventure with the same one to Giza too, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. The guide took us through a journey that far exceeded our expectations. In addition to providing us with a comprehensive overview of the historical sites and archaeological wonders, he enriched our trip with engaging stories and in-depth knowledge about Egypt's culture and history. Among other things he did some things to us Photo Outrageous! We highly recommend this travel guide to anyone who wants to have an authentic and meaningful experience in Egypt. Thanks for making our trip so special!

Must-do - excellent guide and driver - Brilliant half day tour with our guide Sayed Mahmoud and our driver Amgad. We visited Dahshure first and almost had the whole place to ourselves. Welll worth going in the bent pyramid - better than the Great Pyramid. Then onto Memphis where we learnt more about the history of Ramses II. Last stop was Sakkara. Recommend going into King Teti's tomb - easiest pyramid to access. We had lunch included and went to an amazing barbecue buffet. Must-do!!! All sites very quiet.
