Sulle orme di Saqqara, Dahshur, la piramide di Unas e il Serapeo

My guide Taha Ahmed was exceptional. He was so much fun and informative. The serapeum was a lot larger than I expected. Really enjoyed the tour.

This is a very complete tour to Dahsur, Memphis and Shakara with the Unas pyramid and Serapeum, guided by Taha, who really knows his way around the archeologic areas and is an absolute source of knowledge on ancient Egyptian history. We had an real wonderful day. And: Taha knows where to eat a nice bowl of koshari.

The travel agency skimps on everything they can. Time and paying the driver and the tour guide. We asked for 10 minutes to visit the Imhotep museum in Saqqara (already paid for with the entry ticket) and the agency just refused to (without any reasonable justification because we were way under the minimum amount of time of stated for the tour: 8 hours). To add insult to injury, after it was too late, they sent an insincere apologetic Whatsapp. Do not give business to Egypt Smiles Tours and to Faya Tours.

Overall our trip was okay got to see bent and red pyramids at Dahshar, Memphis was a little disappointing as I was expecting it to be bigger considering it was anchent capital but Ramases statue was impressive. The best bit was definitely Saqqara inside the Pyramid of King Unas was lovely and we'll worth rush from Dahshar and Memphis to get there. Tour schedule start at 8am and I did ask if we could start later at 9am which the kindly did, however I would advise against anyone else doing this as it made the visit to Dahshar and Memphis feel rushed and I wish they would have stuck to their list

Mr. Mohamed is fluent in Japanese and he explained the ruins in detail, and we had a very fulfilling time. They also helped me negotiate camels and shopping, and I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind for a reasonable amount of money.
