Fantastic Day Trip to Saqqara and Dahshur with an Excellent Guide - My wife and I booked a day trip to Dahshur, Saqqara, and Memphis, and it was one of the highlights of our time in Egypt. Our guide, Adel, was fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much interesting history with us.
What we really appreciated was his flexibility and attention to our interests. He made sure we spent time on what we found fascinating and never rushed us. A special mention also has to go to his driving; he was by far the most comfortable and safe driver we experienced in Egypt, taking no unnecessary risks.
We found Dahshur and Saqqara to be incredible and seriously underrated sites. We would recommend that everyone make time to visit them. While Memphis has its historical importance, it felt more like an open-air museum, and if you're short on time, it could be skipped.
Overall, a brilliant and highly recommended tour!

Fantastic Guide, Fantastic Tour! - Our day-long tour to Saqqara, Dhashour and Memphis was a unique experience, very much so because of our guide Abdel. I am myself an archaeologist also teaching about ancient Egypt and I can confirm that he is the most competent tour guide with outstanding knowledge about ancient Egypt. He will be our to-go-to guide for future tours in Egypt! Highest recommendation!

A must do trip from Cairo/ Giza - We just had an amazing trip to Saqqara, Dahshour and Memphis. Adel was very knowledgable, he made our day trip truly unforgettable. He kept checking what we would like to do and gave us enough time to walk around and take photos. We can really recommend this tour, which takes you through pyramid evolution and is away from the madding crowds of the Giza pyramids.

Great trip! - My ride was 30-minute late, I guess I was forgotten through chains of miscommunication. However, the ride to each pyramid was great! I was travelling with another solo traveler, and this group size was perfect. Our guide Abou explained the history and the background very well, and the driver delivered. The whole trip was pleasant and I learned more about pyramids now.

Best tour guide in Egypt! - Adel was absolutely amazing! He is incredibly intelligent, professional, communicative, and passionate about what he does. I learned so much during our time with him. He also went above and beyond in making us feel safe and supported in town and helped us bargain in the markets, and also took tons of photos and videos for us!
I 10/10 recommend having him as your tour guide! He’s truly the best!

Amazing Tour and Unmatched Guide - I was lucky enough to come across Adels services for this full day tour on my second day in Cairo. I can honestly say that Adel is the best guide you will be able to get in the city, where having one is a must. He took on the duties of both driving and narrating the tour, and did so with patience, kindness, and complete professionalism. This was at the end of Ramadan, and Adel did not skip a beat to make sure the experience was unmatched. He is revered by his peers and was willing to share personal anecdotes that made for a truly authentic experience. Adel had a personal hand in some of the excavations related to this tour, and he is the go to person to make your Egypt trip once in a lifetime (even though it probably won’t be once in a lifetime as you’ll be counting the days until you find a reason to come back)
