- Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids - Saqqara, also referred to as Sakkara or Saccara, is an expansive ancient necropolis close to the historic capital of Memphis, Egypt. This extraordinary burial site houses the oldest complete stone structure ever built: the Step Pyramid of Djoser. Constructed during Egypt’s Third Dynasty in the 27th century BC, this pyramid represents a remarkable feat of early architecture. Designed by the innovative architect and vizier Imhotep, the Pyramid of Djoser is Egypt’s first monumental stone structure, created to honor the burial of Pharaoh Djoser. This location offers a fascinating glimpse into the early progress of ancient Egyptian civilization.
- Mit Rahina Museum - Continue the journey to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, where the remnants of its illustrious history can be discovered. Visitors can explore artifacts from Egypt’s legendary rulers, including the impressive fallen statue of Ramses II.

Day trip to Pyramids, Memphis & Saqqara - We had a very nice day with our guide Ahmed Ali. He knows everything about the sites and couldn’t have been more polite. Sam the driver did a great job in the Cairo traffic too. Going inside the Pyramid of Khufu was our main interest and we had the time to do this (it is optional and an extra fee.) Just walking around the Pyramids of Giza themselves were the highlight for us so spend as much time here as you can before moving on. The Sphinx, Memphis and Saqqara don’t need a lot of time if you ask me. If you opt for the camel ride at the lookout (a short photo op ride for an extra fee) know that our handlers pushed hard for more tip than the guide suggest. We chose to be firm at the recommended tip. The photos did turn out nice.
All other fees were covered and Ahmed made everything go smooth and carefree.
We normally self guide and rarely book tours, but we enjoyed this hassle free day in capable hands. Thanks Ahmed!

Surpassed All Expectations! Amazing Guide and Tour!! 5 Srars! - Thank you, Thank you Mamdouh (our tour guide) for making this experience so great! dont know where to start here..... As someone who travels often and does tons of research before booking/planning trips I wasn't sure what to expect with Your Egypt Tours. Obviously they have several great reviews, so I was just hoping for the best. This was my first visit to Egypt and was there with my Father and Brothers who were just planning on "going to the pyramids" for one of the days we were in Cairo. After reading some do's/don't from other travelers I took it upon myself to book us a guided tour to make sure we made the most out of the day. This tour was handsdown THE BEST MONEY SPENT during the 8-days we spent in Egypt. Our guide Mamdouh was the best! I could go on and on and on.... As I said above I always do tons of research when planning trips, however, I have NEVER done my part by contributing and writing up a review of my experience. I knew at the end of our day with Mamdouh that this would be my first. Thank you again!

Amazing experience - One of the most beautiful vacation ever was the four days touring Cairo with the outstanding driver, Nagy, who managed to get us through the jamming traffic and with our distinguished tour guide, Sam Othman of Memphis Tours. Sam is a well qualified, motivated, and responsible tour guide. Every morning, he will be at the hotel lobby even before the time set, waiting for us to start our excursion. His knowledgeable background has made it possible for us to understand the huge Egyptian history. His tirelessness has guided us to the most ancient monuments of Cairo: The Great Pyramids of Giza Plateau, Memphis, Saqqara, the Museum, the castles, Muhammad Aly Mosque, good food, great shopping... a friendly ambiance that really made us feel like at home. All the bests and my gratitude to Sam who is so devoted and does a superb job for Memphis Tours. A true Egyptologist. I warmly recommend Memphis Tours and Sam Othman to everyone who wants to visit Egypt.
Many thanks to Sam. Job well done ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic, Highly Recommend - My husband and I started our first day off in Egypt doing this private tour and it qas worth every cent. Our guide Ibrahim was fantastic and knowledgeable about all things ancient Egypt. Ibrahim and our driver Mohammed were both friendly and great to chat to and spend the day with. We really wanted to buy some genuine papyrus and they took us to a place in Giza where we purchased some beautiful artwork.
On top of this wonderful day of learning and new experiences, Ibrahim became our personal photographer getting all the best shots at all locations so we have beautiful memories and also a great Instagram photo lol.
Highly recommend Ibrahim if you choose to do this tour.

Ten Stars would not be Enough!! - This was the most memorable tour of our trip to the Middle East, made very special by an excellent guide Mamdouh Ismail, a knowledgeable and personable Egyptoligist. Mamdouh thoroughly enjoys his role as guide, teaching all about ancient history, culture and artifacts, and was especially helpful in stopping for breaks, to get drinks and locally made Pita bread. We rode camels, climbed pyramids, gazed at ancient wonders and were treated like friends and welcome guests. This all inclusive tour allowed us to see the major sites around Cairo and Giza in one day, with door to door transportation and safe transfers between the sites-our driver was amazing, too (driving in and around Cairo requires great skill!).. Our Guide directed us to a lovely meal at the local Sakkara Restaurant which was a treat! This tour and guide and driver made this an amazing, unforgettable adventure!

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience... - <p>I thoroughly enjoyed my experience on this excursion. My tour guide and driver were Sahl and Mag. We left pretty earlier for my tour; however, it was definitely worth it to beat the crowds. Sahl took a lot of pictures with my camera and was very knowledgeable about the history of the pyramids.</p>

A fascinating day out, with a great guide, but beware..... - Let me start with the good:
This was a wonderful and fascinating day. The pick up was well organised, the transport was excellent, the guide was fantastic and knowledgeable. And the sites of course are world class. They took us to the sights as advertised, and it was magnificent.
BUT there is something to be careful with.The tour guide and the driver set the pace of the tour, and will keep the pace relatively high, with the result that the "day tour" is finished by lunch time. At that point, they will encourage you to do more, all at US$30 per person. (we were three) or simply drop you off at the hotel after lunch.
At that point, it turns into an Egyptian market negotiation. Although the cost of the driver and guide was for a "day tour", they basically convince you that you got to pay for them a second time. To the point where it becomes unpleasant and annoying.
My strong advice is to take your time at the sites, and get the most out of the guide at your disposal. Do not get rushed. But if you do want to add the Egyptian museum to your itinerary, negotiate it before you book the tour or, latest, at the start of the day.
At the end, we had a wonderful day, simply because the sites were amazing and the guide was knowledgeable.
