Best trip ever with rica Tours - The trip to Saqqara and its historical landmarks was extraordinary. My wife and I are very interested in history, especially Egyptian history. The trip to Saqqara was distinguished by its precise details and detailed explanation of how the ancient pyramids were built, as well as the method of raising the stones. We were also able to enter the Serapeum, which is a miracle by all standards and we had never seen anything like it before. As for the colors used by the Pharaohs, they were the most important characteristic of the ancient tombs of the nobles. Our visit to the city of Dahshur is a practical visit to witness the development of building the pyramids all the way to the Red Pyramid. As for Memphis, it was distinguished by the artifacts found in the small museum, where we saw the sleeping statue and the Sphinx. We enjoyed this trip very much, especially with the guide, Rica, who is one of the best guides who accompanied us on visits to any country we visited before.

Discovering the rich history of Saqqara - The Great Cemetery of Saqqara is considered one of the most important of our visits in Egypt, as it dates back to before 3000 BC. We visited many pyramids there and were able to discover the Serapeum, which contains giant coffins, which is an underground miracle. The city of Memphis is considered part of Saqqara. It is a small museum inside the city and contains distinctive and important artifacts. As for the city of Dahshur, we enjoyed entering the Red Pyramid, which is the first complete in Egyptian history. It was a day full of information and culture, and we enjoyed asking questions and finding out the answers thanks to our guide, Rica. The car accompanying us was clean, comfortable, and air-conditioned. Everything was wonderfully organized and prepared. Thank you.

Wonferful tour to Saqqara ,Memphis and Dashour - We have just returned from visiting several countries, including Egypt. Our visit to Egypt was special and we visited many archaeological sites. The city of Saqqara and Dahshur were wonderful visits, as we were able to enter inside the oldest pyramids in history and also saw the tombs of the nobles. Then we headed to Memphis, which is considered close to Saqqara and where the famous Memphis Museum is located, amidst a green patch of date trees and various crops. The trip was enjoyable and organized by the guide, Rica. Thank you

An impressive day in Saqqara Site - My family and I visited the archaeological area of ​​Saqqara, which is considered one of the most important areas in Egypt. The trip to Saqqara was wonderful and enjoyable, as we were keen to see the oldest pyramid in the history of Egypt, which is the Step Pyramid. We saw some of the tombs of ancient officials and ministers and saw the colors that still remain today. Then we went to Dahshur and saw the incomplete pyramid and the red pyramid, which we entered from the inside. We then went to the Memphis Museum and saw the statues of King Ramesses sleeping and standing. The trip was very organized, the bus was clean and comfortable, and we felt very safe

Great, Fun and Enjoyable - I did reached out to several tour companies to get the best deal for my tour to Egypt and I wouldn't find better than Rica . She was perfect in making our wishes true and she customised perfect tours for us in all Egypt. Let me tell about The pyramids that was my dream to see it. I did all what I dreamt of , I rode camel by the sunset and I had the chance to do a quad bike ride at the desert of the pyramids . A felucca ride on the River Nile was fantastic. The museum of Antiquities was gorgeous. Now I can tell that I have an everlasting friend in Egypt named 💓Rica.
