Memorable and marvellous - This was a great tour and we saw and heard things that we wouldn’t have heard and seenon any other trips. Because I did it prior to the main tour around Luxor etc. It gave me a lot more context and made my Egypt visit more enjoyable. Our guide Wael was highly knowledgeable and presented everything in a enjoyable and understandable way where we really got a feeling for the country and it’s history. I would highly recommend this tour.

Easy 5 hour tour to Saqqara and Memphis - Muhammad was a great guide, very polite and respectful. Lots of good information. We left at 8 and got back to the pick up point at 1pm. The cost included all entrances, guide, and transportation from pick up. Very straight forward and easy :)

Where Pyramid Building Began! - This was a great half day tour with our guide Marwa! Even though the pyramids at Giza are a main attraction, it was so cool to see the history of where all the pyramid building began. It also made visiting the museums more enjoyable. I added this visit on the beginning of my 8 day Egypt Adventure Trip and was familiar with the history of the museum exhibits.

A wonderful introduction to the Pyramids! - What a great start to our Cairo adventure! Marwa was a spectacular guide and she impressed us with her knowledge at every point.
Saqqara was a great introduction to the pyramids - the history and the structure and the significance. I definitely think that Saqqara should be on everyone’s itinerary to Egypt.
Memphis was a treasure of lovely statues, including a magnificent colossus of Rameses II. I had hoped it would include a tour of the ruins of the city, but unfortunately not. You can however see the archeological dig over fence - that would be a good addition too.
