Overview

Extending your sightseeing from Cairo to see the ancient sites outside it is difficult independently, with cabs providing the only realistic option but leaving you guide-less once there. This private half-day tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off, taking you to Saqqara’s Step Pyramid and relics, and Egypt’s ancient capital of Memphis in one convenient trip. Plus, you get your own qualified Egyptologist guide for detail on the treasures, plus a snack lunch.

Saqqara was amazing. Looking at one of the world's oldest buildings is humbling. I could have spent more time exploring the area. As to Memphis, it was an interesting stopover, but not something that I would visit again. It is ultimately just the unfinished colossus of Ramses and a small courtyard of a few other statues.

Really enjoyed our outing to Saqqara and Memphis. We had the very knowledgeable and friendly Mr.. Mahmoud Badr to guide us thru the sites. We had a lovely day. Thanks

A very interesting places to see as a side trip to the Giza pyramids and the Egyptian Museum. This is a good trip when your flight outbound is in the evening.

This was a great tour to the area around Cairo. Our guide Ibrahim explained to us clearly and briefly the history of the area. I highly recommend this trip. The area is pleasent with date farms and small canals from the Nile. Transportation van was comfortable and spacious.

A must see trip to see the Saqqara pyramid complex to see the best well preserved ancient carvings, drawings, and Egyptian hieroglyphics. Not many people traveled here, but highly recommended. Memphis has a smaller museum with some well preserved large statues.

Avevo chiesto una guida in italiano e me l hanno data in inglese. La guida è stata veramente gentile e disponibile, ma ovviamente abbiamo avuto difficoltà linguistiche.
