For a very poignant, spiritual, and enlightened tour, book EMO tours, with Aladin - From the moment we were picked up all on time, to getting to the pyramids, it was a joy! Aladin was the best. You must book this guy. And the driver he had, Abdul is the best driver in Cairo by far. I can’t say anymore other than we will remember this trip with deep memories and affection.

LOVE THIS TOUR AND EMAD THE TOUR GUIDE! - WE LOVED THIS TOUR AND EMAD OUR ATV TOUR GUIDE!!!! I went with my husband and we both had our own ATVs, but I didn’t want to drive mine solo so Emad helped guide my ATV for me and took amazing pictures for my husband and I. I will recommend this tour to everyone I know looking to go to the pyramids. Emad is also soooooooooo funny so try to ask him as your guide if you go and you’ll be in for a great time.
