Saqqara to the essentials - Very accommodating. We were a little sick and Shady gave us bottles of water. He arranged the tour to fit us, and gave us good tips to avoid scams. Saqqara is a remarkable site. The visit to the south tomb is worth making, as well as from inside the pyramid to the north Merci Shady

An amazing afternoon exploring the other pyramids - It was an amazing afternoon exploring the complex of the Step Pyramid and Memphis! My guide, Ehab, was knowledgeable and made tour enjoyable. He took great pictures of me which was an added bonus. The driver Mohamed, was professional and made me feel safe in the crazy Cairo traffic. After the official tour ended, I was able to extend it to include seeing the Bent and Red Pyramid in Dahshur, which made my afternoon complete!

Great day thanks to Ehab! - Our guide Ehab was very friendly and knowledgeable. Our driver Ahmed did a great job always being ready for us when we exited our stops and navigated expertly. Ehab is highly educated and has even worked in archeological.

Pyramids and ruins - The communication from the tour operator and guide was great, and the driver arrived right on time. Our guide, Bishoy, shared lots of information about history, culture, and politics We learned that the step pyramid (Sakkara), is the oldest in Egypt. It was amazing to see and we also had an opportunity to venture down into the tomb of a different pyramid. That was a bit of an adventure, but definitely worth it! We also visited Memphis which was the first capital of Egypt. Lots of ruins and the largest statue of King Ramses II. So much to learn and experience!!

More than amazing! - Tamer and Marsil were amazing during our tour. They took us to try local food and beautiful museums. We also toured Sakkara and were able to see wonderful craftsmanship on the pyramids. They took wonderful photos and made us laugh. The best part for me was their kind hearts and kind spirits. They are both so loving. I feel like I’ve known them both for a lifetime. I can’t wait to come back and visit Egypt again. I personally would love for them to be our tour guides again. I highly recommend them both. We felt very safe with them. Thanks again to you both. You are both very loved by myself and my husband. You made our trip more than amazing! We love you guys. 🥰
