Family sightseeing of pyramids in the desert - Highly recommend to see those pyramids. You may get inside Sakkara, totally worth it. Close by there is a tomb of king and princess with well preserved hierogryphs (I hope I spell it right). Dashur pyramid is challenging :-) Memphis was smaller than we thought, they plan to make further excavations in the future. We had a great trip with Abdo, our tour guide. He got us some snacks and drinks beforehand, as there are no shops around.

The Queen of Giza - We had an amazing day with Sugar Queen. She was an informative and fun tour guide who knows the Giza area very well. We did a lot of laughing, dancing and singing throughout the day. Sugar Queen was accomodating and helpful with anything and everything we wanted to do. Would highly recommend! Thanks for an amazing tour, Sugar Queen!

Best explanations by Mo - Today we went on a trip with our guide Mo. He and the driver assigned to us were great and super friendly. We started our visit in Dashur were we were able to go inside the pyramid which was totally worth it! In Dashur, Memphis, and Saqqara Mo was able to provide us with all the information we needed and wanted. He had a good balance between giving us the history and explaining the hieroglyphics as well as making it a fun experience without listening to a guide for hours on end. Also do not be afraid to ask if you want more time somewhere to take some pictures. Mo is happy to give you all the time you need to further explore on your own. Just a small tip: if you use the Cairo pass or are paying by yourselves every sight (3 in total) asked for a 10 pound car fee you will need to pay. No issue for us but good to know.
