A different experience from the Pyramids in Giza in that you are away from the city and seeing them in what feels in many ways like a more authentic experience.
We had a good learning experience visiting the oldest pyramids in Egypt. Our guide Ibrahim was very informative and helpful introducing us to the Step pyramid and tombs of Sakkara . Following this we had a visit to Dahshur to learn about the 5 pyramids - the Red pyramid , the White pyramid , the Black pyramid , the Bent pyramid and the only pyramid built for a pharaoh s wife . Finally we had a visit to Memphis and ended the tour with a lovely lunch overlooking the Giza pyramids. Thank you to Ibrahim and Hosein for a wonderful day
Amazing tour of incredibly impressive archeological sites! Our tour guide Abeer was the best, extremely informative, friendly and took great pictures of us. Our driver Zachary was very skilled and was right there to pick us up when we were done at each site. Overall it was a fantastic tour and would highly recommend!
Great experience overall! The tour to Saqqara, Dahshur, and Memphis was really well organized and our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, which made the whole day very enjoyable. Saqqara and Dahshur were definitely the highlights — seeing the Step Pyramid and the Red Pyramid up close was incredible and far less crowded than Giza, which made the experience even better. Memphis was interesting from a historical perspective, especially seeing the statue of Ramses II, but compared to the pyramids it felt a bit less exciting and the visit there was quite quick.
It was an enjoyable tour. The guide was knowledgeable and nice although she was a little sick. The driver was also really kind and the best driver we had in Egypt. He drives so carefully and safely while everybody else is driving like a maniac. Seeing step pyramid, bent pyramid and red pyramid allow us to appreciate the trial and error process before making the great pyramid. The reason why I only gave four stars was because of the communication. I clarified with the tour company multiple times prior to the tour that we wanted to be dropped off at the airport after the tour (with $30 extra fee
Our guide was extremely nice and helpful sharing information about the pyramids. She also helped with some shopping items I wanted to get taken care of.
