Another great experience with Memphis tours - Highest kudos to Memphis tours. My second time with them, and they provided the same outstanding service. Reliable, professional and always courteous, the staff all went out of their way to provide us with the best experience. Many thanks to Anwar, Amgad and Saad for the time and attention they provided, I felt in the best of hands with those gentlemen. And a big thank you to Nouran for her time and patience in providing information and arranging our booking with several parties involved. I will make it a point to book with Memphis tours anytime I’m in Egypt.

Memphis = enjoy Egypt - Traveling with this company was the best decision I could make, excellent quality in all its services, from the guides, organization, reliability to the quality of the hotels we stayed in. Of note are the guides who accompanied us at all times,..... and especially Juan el Gizawy, with whom we shared more than a week, his excellent treatment and willingness at all times is worth highlighting. I don't want to forget our trip coordinator Mahmoud Mustafa, without his willingness and help this great dream would not have been possible... If you have to travel to Egypt, this company is THE OPTION 🙌🏼

Amazing Hospitality and Great Learning Experience - We can’t say enough about our wonderful 3-day visit to Cairo/Alexandria with Memphis Tours. Marwa did an excellent job providing tour options and coordinating logistics. We spent one day visiting pyramids, one day touring Cairo and one day in Alexandria. We also enjoyed a Nile dinner cruise. We were met at our hotel the first day by Amgd, the tour manager, and Imed, our guide. Both are very personable and professional. Imed and our amazing driver, Magdy, managed our daily tours and could not have been more courteous, responsive and knowledgeable. We learned so much and felt very well taken care of. There was not one question that Imed didn’t have the answer for and Magdy’s driving skills are beyond impressive. Taking us to the papyrus and jewelry stores were thoughtful gestures that helped us get wonderful mementos of our trip. All in all, I would highly recommend the Memphis Tours team for an amazing and perfectly coordinated holiday in Egypt.

Super Fun Time with Maha Elhefny and Omar! - Me and 3 buddies had a layover in Cairo for 12 hours and chose Memphis Tours at the last second to get out of the airport for awhile. Could not be more pleased with our decision! Our guide Maha Elhefny was super fun and knowledgeable (she's also great at taking pictures). The bus picked us up from the airport and we were able to see the pyramids, ride camels, Sphinx, local lunch, papyrus making in town, and a sunset boat ride on the Nile all with the safety of a personal body guard! Highly recommend this company for your layover in Cairo!

Very Positive Experience - My husband and I had to change our travel plans to Egypt several times due to unforeseen circumstances. The agent that I was working with for flights and transfers into Cairo, Mohamed K, could not have been more professional, accommodating and patient! He and I exchanged multiple emails and each time, he made the requested changes immediately and got back to me with all the information I needed quickly. I can't say enough good things about him......it has been a very positive experience working with Mohamed!

incredible trip, I recommend taking the Cairo package, Nile Cruise, Luxor, Assuan and Sharm el Sheick on the Red Sea. - I really liked the monuments and the ancient history of Egypt. Country to go, mandatorily, on tour, I do not recommend going on your own.

Wonderful experience in Cairo with Memphis Tours with Ibrahim - We just returned from a 2 day trip to Cairo using Memphis Tours. Ibrahim was our tour guide throughout and we had a wonderful time!! We were traveling with an infant as well as a family member in a wheelchair and Ibrahim as well as our driver were so attentive to all of us. They made us feel safe and helped navigate an otherwise not wheelchair friendly city. We did not have to skip out on any attraction and actually had a jam-packed couple of days. Ibrahim was also extremely knowledgeable on the history of Egypt as well as all the sites. He was very pleasant to be around. I would 100% recommend this tour group and especially our guide.
