Very informative! - The driver was excellent and the guide was excited about the information and tried to make it fun at the same time! She let us go at our own pace and answered all our questions.

Visiting the Saqqara area - These locations less frequently visited than the Giza pyramids and not very far from town. It got progressively crowded while there. You will need to hire a driver from Cairo- too far for Uber. I went to Red Pyramid, Memphis and Saqqara. I went at what I thought was a good pace- spent to walk around, take pictures, enjoy the surroundings. It was 5 hours start to end. You can climb down the Red Pyramid. This takes some stamina. You are walking sideways, down a slope with a ceiling of 4-5 feet. At Saqqara, multiple things to see at the necropolis. Good luck figuring out what the ticket or doesn't cover. A ticket with add-ons for certain parts of the necropolis, even with the inclusive ticket. The add ons are not that expensive (maybe a few USD? I would have paid and additional $10 to not think about it). Still got to see plenty. There are attendants at several of the attractions to check your ticket. However, plenty of people who don't work there will ask to see your ticket. They want to be your guide and probably looking for a tip.

Excellent experience - Excellent experience. The guide and driver were incredible and extremely nice. A must to avoid unwanted vendors, will give you recommendations to improve your experience. My guide H will give you the explanation and information and will leave you to explore on your own you won't feel rushed from place to place. Highly recommend.

Visiting with 1. Built Pyramid in Eypt SAUARRA, and Beinth Pyramid. Then the Red Pyramid and Memphis Museum. - An excellent driver and tour guide who knows very well the Egyptian history, and who is also local known in his country and who lives in Cairo. Mr Mohamed is strongly recommended, and he knows English fluently. He can also speak Italian, Arabic and Russian fluently. He also has his own car which he can drive to sights for those who need this.
