Private Giza Pyramids Memphis and Saqqara with Egyptologist
A trusted partner experience, hand-picked and featured on This is Egypt.
Overview
Three capitals of ancient Egypt in one day, in chronological order, with a licensed Egyptologist who connects them into the actual story. You start in Memphis, the original Old Kingdom capital where Ramses II's colossal limestone statue lies in the open-air museum. Then to Saqqara, the royal necropolis where the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the very first pyramid ever built, rises out of the desert. Finally to Giza, where the pyramid form reached its monumental peak with the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Sphinx, and a camel ride along the ridge. Lunch included at a quality local restaurant. This is the tour for travelers who want to see how ancient Egyptian civilization actually evolved, not just the iconic postcard view. Just you, your group, an Egyptologist who loves their country.

Mit Jessy war der ganze Tag eine sehr schöne Erinnerung!! Ich habe mich so sicher und wohl gefühlt, ich würde jedes Mal wieder mit ihr die Tour machen! Es wird für alles gesorgt, bevor man sich Gedanken macht und die Vorträge zu den unglaublichen Orten die wir besucht haben, waren sehr informativ aber auch sehr gut zu verstehen. Vielen Dank für das tolle Erlebnis ich werde es für immer in meinem Herzen tragen.
Our private tour with guide Sara and driver Ahmed was the perfect way to experience the pyramids of Giza and Sakkara. Egypt Day Tours handled everything according to our plans with prompt communication and excellent customer service. Sara has a wealth of knowledge and knows how to efficiently navigate all the sites to make the most of your time and avoid crowds. An added bonus is all the beautiful pictures she took for us!! Memories for a lifetime!
Fantastic trip with Tarek around the different sites. He shared important historical context and was able to answer all of our questions. An excellent guide
The tour guide was great. He was patient, friendly and accommodating. However there was a mixup with booking. What we booked was tour with lunch and camel ride.However the agent, Egypt day tours said the lunch and camel ride was not included. He was consistent that we have not booked the tour with the extras.
Ayoub our tour guide was great. He had planned the whole day to miss all of the crowds to allow us a more personalized visit. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and took time to explain each locations history in great detail. He also was kind enough to stop to get us drinks, several times during the tour. The driver Sfeena, perfectly navigated us through the busy Cairo streets. Carefully picking us up at locations to minimize unnecessary additional walking, which in hot Cairo weather is appreciated.
It was a wonderfull experience. The agency arranged everything nicely and our guide Ahmed (Amadeo) was excelent.
