Overview

Many visitors to Egypt only see the Giza Pyramids, but you can explore less-visited pyramids on this private half-day tour to Saqqara, Dahshur, and Memphis. Avoid transport hassles and upgrade to add an Egyptologist guide as you tour the Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, the Bent and Red Pyramids at Dahshur, and Memphis, once the capital of ancient Egypt.

A really special experience that stays with me months after I returned from the visit to Saqqara. The driver and guide I was lucky enough to travel with, Mr. Hisham, was very knowledgeable and a great driver. He was helpful, positive and friendly from the first meeting to the end of the trip. I would highly recommend him to other visitors for a comfortable and interesting trip to the Egyptian countryside. As a female solo traveler he also made me feel very safe something that was valuable to me. Overall a great experience!

I didn't have a good experience with Emo tours. 1st I waited 35 min for the pick up, even when I was proactively contacted the company trying to find information. I had to get help from a Egyptian person to contact the company and be able to tell me that they are late. And of course I had to give money to that person. When they arrived the guide told me that they inform the company fer the delay but didn't tell me. The tour itself was ok. I had a way better guide the previous day with another company. In the price a bottle of water was included but never got one even though the guide assured m

Confirmation was prompt and the pickup was on time. I messaged the tour provider the day before, but they never responded. Upon arrival, the driver had to park at the end of the bridge because the Hilton didn't allow him to drive onto the hotel grounds. While he wasn't initially sure of the locations for two of the tombs, we found them after he asked for directions. Note to future travelers: Bring your own water, as none was provided. I also paid a total of 50 EGP for parking at Saqqara and Dahshur. Additionally, the driver asked for 10 EGP to tip the guard at Dahshur; I gave him 50 EGP and to

The guide was very nice but the trip was very confusing. A driver picked me up at my hotel and didn’t say anything. About a half hour later we picked up the guide. When we got to Saqara, the guide told the ticket agent what I wanted and I paid with a credit card. The guide took one of the tickets. Apparently I was paying for the car to enter. She never asked or told me. I noticed because the price of the tickets was different than the total. When we got to the second set of pyramids, the bent and red, the same thing happened again. When I asked her about it, she said it was only 25 Eqyptian po
