Excursions at the top with Memnon - We (couple with 2 children aged 11 and 16) chose Memnon for the activity in Cairo (Airplane from Hurghada to Cairo with guide). An exceptional day from start to finish: punctuality of the driver to the guide Beshoy who speaks impeccable French and who is unstickable on the history of Egypt!!! We really enjoyed this excursion in private. So we chose Memnon again for the boat trip to see the dolphins in Hurghada: perfect also with our guide Mohamed. We were even able to swim with dolphins. I recommend Memnon with my eyes closed!! Osman, our contact via Whatsapp was great and responds very quickly!

Inquiring Egypt with Memnon Travel is worth a trip!! - Through my mom we learned that you get great trips with wonderful guides at Memnon Reisen. It was very important to us that we do a tour where only the two of us are with a guide as we wanted to learn and see as much as possible. We went with our driver Mahmoud and Mohmed to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo and also to the pyramids. A mega-beautiful experience. At lunchtime we had Egyptian food and found it very nice that Mohmed was sitting at the table with us. Mohmed told us a lot about the history of Egypt and also addressed our many questions. Of course, we were able to take enough pictures and Mohmed knew exactly how to stand for funny memories at the pyramids. An absolutely successful trip.

As my son used to say when he was little: Pyridamire :). Wonders of the world... - Finally we saw the pyramids and it was definitely worth it. I found the Memnon trips by chance on the Internet. Our tour operator also offered trips to Cairo, but the recessions did not convince me, so I contacted about whatapp the Memnon trips. Communication went smoothly from start to finish. We were picked up from the hotel on time by our nice cheerful driver Asad with an air-conditioned minibus. The vehicle was modern and clean. The cold drinks were already waiting for us in a cooler. The journey took several hours with two stops by the police or military, but without any problems. Arriving in Giza, our German speaking guide Yamaha was waiting for us. She was lovely and nice. We felt in good hands with her. She showed us places where you could take great photos. Thanks to her, we could also ride camels without being pulled across the table. After a great but also exhausting day we were very satisfied. Thank you Yamaha and thank you Asad and of course thank you Osman (contact person via whatsapp). Best regards Nuray

Day Trip by Car from Hurghada to Cairo - Booking via WhatsApp very easy and possible in German. We had the day trip by car to Cairo. That’s about 500 km, so it started at 2.00 am. So at 8.00 we were in Cairo. Driver was very nice, the Toyota Corolla very well maintained. First stop was a shorter drive through an older part of Cairo. Then we picked up our guide Magdy and drove to the pyramids. Here we were around 9:00 a.m. So at 11.00 we went to the very delicious traditional lunch. So around 12.30 pm we were in the Egyptian Museum, here we stayed until about 2.30 pm. Since we had been on the road for a very long time, this also reached us. So around 7 p.m. we were back in Hurghada. Magdy was a great guide who could tell us a lot about the culture of the ancient Egyptians but also about the country and people in good German. The trip was strenuous as expected, but was worth it and can be recommended in good conscience.

Unforgettable excursion - Unforgettable trip by plane to Cairo! We made the day trip from Hurghada to Cairo by plane with Memnon Reisen – and it was perfect all around! The transfer went smoothly, the flight was pleasant, and on site we were welcomed by our super sympathetic and competent guide Jakob. The program was well organized: from the Egyptian Museum to the impressive Giza pyramids to the Sphinx – simply breathtaking! Even the lunch was delicious and typical of the country, with a nice atmosphere. I would particularly like to highlight Jakob, who led the day with a lot of knowledge, humor and commitment. You could tell he loved his work. Conclusion: Highly recommended – a highlight of our holiday!

High expectations on our part, perfectly fulfilled. It couldn't get better !!! - Why I give five stars? Because you can't give six stars! We booked a two-day trip to Cairo through Memnon Reisen, as it was a childhood dream to see the pyramids and the Egyptian museum in Cairo on site, which I wanted to fulfill. . With a car just for us and a guide who isn’t followed by 50 people and who you can only recognize from three meters by the umbrella, but who was only there for us. One of the best choices if you want to learn about the city and not just be there. We were picked up outside our hotel at 2:00 a.m. on time to the second. The, by the way very friendly and prudent driver, arrived in a modern and well-kept Toyota, in which we were then allowed to experience the trip very comfortably. Arriving in Cairo, we met our guide in front of the Sala El Din citadel. A teacher of German and history who has lived his whole life in Cairo. This guide knew how to convey his knowledge in a very interesting way, adding a lot of details and also telling a lot of funny anecdotes. It was a huge pleasure to listen to this man. I am a very bad passenger when it comes to driving through other cities, I much prefer to drive myself. But with our driver driving us through this completely confusing hustle and bustle of Africa’s largest city, I had a very good feeling and could actually enjoy the ride. We had booked overnight in Cairo. We slept in the Steigenberger Pyramids, with a view from the bed directly to the Cheopspyramid. Summary: We wanted to travel to Cairo once in our lives and then it was supposed to be perfect. And Memnon Reisen fulfilled this expectation 100%. Thank you very much to the team of Memnon trips, the driver and the guide, you are a class team.

An unforgettable experience , great care, reliable and just great. - It's been two wonderful days. We went on a day trip in Cairo and one in Luxor . The hotel pickup was on time. Our drivers Asaad and Ibrahim are great drivers who got us to our destination reliably and safely . Both have always responded to our needs. A packed lunch for breakfast and a delicious traditional lunch in a great restaurant took care of our physical well-being. The guides were great. Their extensive knowledge has brought us closer to Egyptian history . Naschaad is a great , highly competent "teacher" where we could not get out of the astonishment. Overall, Osman was always available. The unbureaucratic handling was great and quite great ....no groups , but just us two as a couple . Thank you ....and every time again 😍 Enrico and Claudia

Worthwhile - Today we did the Cairo (pyramid trip) with Jakob and the money is worth it. It's a busy day, but definitely a great experience.
