The experience

Overview

Go beyond Cairo's most visited sites and see the Dahshur pyramids, Saqqara, and Memphis: an ancient city and two of its necropolises. Admire Djoser’s distinctive step pyramid and the ‘Bent’ and ‘Red’ Pyramids at Dahshur; stand beside the millennia-old colossus of Ramses II; and follow the footsteps of pharaohs as you explore an open-air museum of statues. Your package includes private door-to-door transfers; upgrade to add a guide, entry fees, and a local restaurant lunch.

Was a good trip , interesting to see the other pyramids, and go into the bent shaped one, was quite tight and awkward to climb down and back up because the ceilings were very low, but was a good experience. We felt our tour guild let it down a bit , left us to wonder around the places we stopped so parts we didn’t know what we was looking at, should have walked around with us and explained. Not had a tour guide do this before. The restaurant at the end wasn’t great.

Cannot give more stars, unfortunately. The company send a guide that was sick ( they said later he had a flu), that almost lost his voice and we could not hear him at all. We informed the tour operator about it and they sent us a different guide, which read 3 sentences about Dahshur from the internet holding his cell in front of us. Then, when we bought a 3 tickets to enter the area ( 200EGP per one ticket he also included 25EPGP for the car ( should be paid by the company and not us). When we asked why? He responded that we should pay for a car too. Since when? Not informative at all. We are

Where shall i start . I booked driver only and got Mr. Amro ( Mo ) as the driver but it turned out to be an amazing guide as well . From the start he made sure he treated me as a guest and not as a tourist . Such an amazing person he explained every aspect and made sure i enjoyed it . Please make sure you ask him as your tour coordinator/ guide . I really enjoyed the tour and the experience which i have never had

This is a great way to see the highlights of Saqqara, Memphis and Dahshur and learn more about the beautiful and complex history of Egypt. Our guide Karim, was enthusiastic and friendly. He provided us with so much detail and context related to the meanings and cultural importance of what we saw, he really made our experience an unforgettable one! I would be happy to recommend this experience to other travellers to Cairo and Giza.

Everything was perfect! Hamed, my driver, was on time and picked me up at the right location. He was very kind and helpful throughout the day and speaks good English. I had a great time and managed to visit all the places I wanted to, while taking my time. Saqqara and Dashur are not to be missed, they were the highlights of my trip to Cairo. The tombs of Mereruka and Kagemni have amazing paintings, and it’s possible to go inside the pyramids at Dashur, which was great fun as there were very few people there. I felt it was less touristy than Giza but a lot more interesting. It’s a great trip at
