Unforgettable experience - My visit to the pyramids and the ancient tombs was an unforgettable experience, made even better by my guide/photographer, Omar, a knowledgeable Egyptologist who brought every site to life with rich context and fascinating stories. Walking through the tombs and standing before structures that have endured for thousands of years gave me a deep appreciation for the history, beliefs, and daily life of ancient Egyptians. I’m so happy I came.

Plenty of fun, but made the carpet stop - Spent a very good day travelling to Memphis, Saqqarah and Giza. The pick up was on schedule, and we didn't waste any time heading out to Memphis. Yasmine was very knowledgable and had answers to all my questions. The quad was plenty of fun (even though we drove past a few carcasses on the way to the dunes).
We did make an "unplanned" stop at a carpet school, but I made it clear I wasn't going to buy anything and we were out in less than 5 minutes. I would have rated 5 stars, but this is just plain misleading and bad practice (and relates to other reviews).

Tiring but worth it - It was very nice time with Sayed Mahmoud. He explained everythi g from egyptiam meuseusm and also gave very nice advice for good spots for pictures for Pyramids. His english is very good. Lunch provided was excellent .. Overall we are very happy to travel from Hurghada which was tiring but worth it experience.

Efficient way of seeing the main sites - This tour was an efficient way of getting around and seeing the main highlights in one day. We were picked up from our hotel in a somewhat battered car (the seat belts were not working) and taken to Saqqara, Memphis and a papyrus “museum” in the morning. The papyrus place was actually interesting since they explained the process of making papyrus paper, and they didn’t push us too hard to buy. Lunch was at a buffet restaurant where we got the opportunity to try several different dishes and desserts. In the afternoon we visited the Giza pyramids and did a short camel ride to get photos of ourselves riding camels in front of the pyramids. The quad bike ride was not offered, but since it wasn’t important to us, we did not ask about it.
Overall, the tour was fine. We got the basic background explained to us at each stop, even though the guide’s English was somewhat hard to understand. After the initial explanation the guide generally left us to walk around independently at each site without him. This was not ideal. For example, my husband got grabbed by a “guard” at the Giza pyramids and he wouldn’t let go until we paid him. This kind of thing doesn’t happen to tourists who have a guide with them.
