Saqqara , Memphis And Dahsur Day Tour

Guide Reem was fantastic! We spent a full day with her and I really appreciate the care and customer service she provided. She is very knowledgable and informative. Each stop was provided with a wealth of knowledge on top of a great personality. She moved us right through the crowds. This is a great tour, with a great tour operator, and wonderful guide. Thank you Reem!

We had a great guide, Reem. She was so knowledgeable on everything. She also was kind enough to stop and get fresh hot falafel and Egyptian bread since we had not had it yet. We did the Saqqara excursion.

Lydia, our tour guide was amazing!! She was very friendly and knowledgeable. She answered all our questions we had at each site and gave us time to walk around, see everything and take pictures. Everything was included in the tour (admissions and lunch). Only thing we had to pay for was our drinks and dessert at lunch. Our driver was great as well! Highly recommend!!

Our guide Ahmed arrived early, looking for us in the hotel lobby, removing that worry of whether our tour was happening at all. Our driver, Ali, was great steering us through the Cairo and Giza traffic and finding spaces to park all day. We had read alot about the places we were to visit beforehand as we like to have some knowledge. Every question, Ahmed answered with ease and provided a wide range of factual information clearly and with lots of humour. Ahmed bought tickets for us, took some great photos and generally showed us the best and easiest places to go and see things. His English is very good. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and would recommend both Ahmed and Ali to introduce you to the sites of Saqqara, Dahsur and Memphis.

We had our guide Lydia (& driver Mahmood) for our tour! It was lovely! Very informative and answered any questions we had in depth. Even allowed us to stop at a carpet making school that we drove by and were interested in! I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for some history and something easily accessiable outside Cairo/Giza.

The day trip to Saqqarah and Memphis from Cairo was the perfect excursion to see beyond the Pyramids of Giza. Highly recommend as it wasn't as crowded and still great opportunities to learn rich history and take great photos. Sarah was an excellent tour guide providing needed historical commentary and information on the various pyramids and statues. Lots of free time to explore was provided and we didn't feel rushed. Also, a good photographer! It was very fun exploring with her. Communication was good and the driver was efficient and timely. Would definitely recommend if looking for something outside of Cairo!!

Excellent guide (Donia) passionated by the history. Explanation of excellent quality. Both the driver and the guide were kind, smiley and careful. The drive was very pleasant. It was the best experience so far since a week we arrived in Egypt. Thank you very much.

You may think seeing the Great Pyramid is enough when you visit Egypt but I would definitely recommend this tour if you are really into learning Egyptian history and see more than just main attractions. Saqqra really amazed me. Radwa is very knowledgeable, attention to detail and patience when it comes to explaining history. I would definitely recommend to have her as an Egyptologist during your time in Egypt.

The guide did an amazing job! We enjoyed it so much.

Khloud was very knowledgeable, has a lovely smile and made us welcome. I would rate today above thee Giza Plateau.

Really wonderful experience- Reem is a very knowledgable guide and everything was super well organized and on time.

Good team between the good driver and a perfect guide Reem the guide Ibrahim the driver

Wonderful trip! Donia was knowledgeable and very helpful. Take it for face value that if she describe conditions inside the pyramid they are true. Donia also provided insights that we wouldn’t have known ourselves. I agree with her that the Ramses statue at Memphis is better than the one at the GEM. Would recommend skipping paying for lunch in the inclusive package tour and just bring snacks along and lots of water. Shukran!

We experienced the tour with Ibrahim and he was very kind and prepared. He explained the sites with lots of details and helped us with beautiful pictures. He also chose for us a very yummy restaurant. Really happy with the whole experience

Reem was a wonderful guide especially in pointing out and explaining the importance and aspects of the tombs and museum artifacts we saw in Sawqara, Daschur and Memphis. Well worth the day and money. Reem was both pleasant and knowledgeable. 5 stars

What an absolutely amazing experience! Our Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahshur Day Tour with Ahmed was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Egypt! Ahmed was an exceptional guide — incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about Egyptian history, friendly, and genuinely fun to spend the day with. His fascinating explanations, wonderful sense of humor, and enthusiasm brought ancient Egypt to life in the most enjoyable way. We learned so much while having an absolutely fantastic time! Everything was perfectly organized from beginning to end. The entire day went smoothly, and we felt comfortable, relaxed, and well taken care of throughout the tour. What made this experience truly special was Ahmed himself. He has that rare ability to combine deep historical knowledge with a warm personality and a great sense of humor, making every moment both educational and entertaining. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a more memorable day. If you’re visiting Egypt, don’t miss this tour, and definitely ask for Ahmed! Thank you so much, Ahmed, for such a wonderful experience! We wholeheartedly recommend you — 10/10!

Ahmed was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Egyptian history. He shared a wealth of fascinating historical information about the pyramids, statues, and ancient Egyptian civilization, making the entire experience even more enjoyable and meaningful. The car was comfortable and perfectly suited for the trip, and the itinerary was very well organized. Everything went smoothly, from start to finish. Ahmed was friendly, professional, and always happy to answer our questions. Highly recommended! If you’re looking for a great way to explore Egypt and learn about its incredible history, Ahmed is definitely the right person!

Lydia and Abdullah provided a perfect day's trip to Saqqara. Abdullah was a charming driver who navigated the Egyptian traffic with style and patience. Lydia was very knowledgeable and willing to indulge the constant questions of two very enthusiastic Egypt-o-philes. Seeing Saqqara and Dahsur before the Giza pyramids was the perfect way round and topping it off with the gigantic statue of Ramses II in Memphis made for a perfect day.

Nice tour 👌🏻 well organized !

We had a amazing time on our tour with Ibrahim. He showed us and taught us so much about Egypt. He even let us taste some Egyptian Food. Special thanks to the driver for getting us around safely. We highly recommend Ibrahim to anyone visiting.

We had a truly wonderful and unforgettable day exploring Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahshur with Mego Tours! Special thanks to Ahmed, the owner of Mego Tours, for his excellent communication, thoughtful planning, and seamless coordination. From the beginning, Ahmed was responsive and accommodating, ensuring that our itinerary reflected our personal interests and preferences. Our fantastic guide, Ibrahim, was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and attentive throughout the day. He shared fascinating stories about ancient Egyptian history, answered our questions, and made sure we had plenty of time to explore each site without feeling rushed. He also took wonderful photos of us, helping us capture special memories of our trip. What we especially appreciated was Ibrahim's willingness to go above and beyond to accommodate our requests. He respected our preference for no shopping stops and even arranged an extra stop so we could purchase Egyptian stamps for our collection. This thoughtful gesture meant a great deal to us and made our experience even more personal and memorable! Our driver, Yusuf, was equally wonderful. He was professional, courteous, and drove safely throughout the journey. We especially appreciated his thoughtfulness in keeping the air conditioning running to ensure our comfort, even without us having to ask. The entire tour was exceptionally well organized, enjoyable, and relaxing. It was clear that Ahmed, Ibrahim, and Yusuf genuinely cared about providing an excellent experience. Their kindness, hospitality, and attention to detail made a lasting impression on us. A heartfelt thank you to Ahmed, Ibrahim, and Yusuf for making our visit to these incredible historical sites so special! We are truly grateful for the wonderful memories and would highly recommend Mego Tours to anyone visiting Egypt. Their professionalism, flexibility, and genuine hospitality made this one of the highlights of our trip!

Only reading brought the pyramids south west of Cairo to my attention. It was well worth the trip to see how the design of pyramids evolved from the very first - stepped - pyramid at Saqqara to the "bent" and red pyramids of Dashur. The stepped pyramid, some 4700 years old, is in incredible condition and has to be visited. Visiting the pyramid of Unas which forms part of the Saqqara necropolis was amazing! From the outside what appears to be a mound of stone is in fact a fallen pyramid. The inside though was stunning. Walls of hieroglyphics some still with colour are a sight not to be missed! The Red and Bent pyramids are also a must see - the bent pyramid started building at too steep and angle before it was corrected. It got rejected by the pharaoh and so the red pyramid was built. Our tour was perfectly organised from the private car pickup from our hotel, water provided, all entrance tickets included and finally a traditional Egyptian lunch! Then there was our amazing guide - Lydia! She was mature beyond her 25 years and her knowledge was incredible! Every question any of my family and I asked, was answered with ease by her. We could not have wished for a better, more courteous, friendly, happy and knowledgeable guide for our trip! She taught us about the history of the pyramid, Giza, ancient Egypt and it's early dynasties. Elaborating in what we knew or had learnt during our trip so far. Thank you for an amazing day Lydia, and being the BEST guide!

Donia was a very informative guide and very well organised and professional. We went to Sakkara and onto Dashur and then to Memphis ending with an amazing buffet meal. We went inside one of the pyramids to see the decoration which was the highlight to walk down into the entrance! I would definately recommend Donia and her driver Mohamed to escort you on your tour!

Mohamed our Guide shows us Saccara, Red Pyramid and Memphis in a perfect and serious way. We were able to enter the Pyramids, could ask questions as much as we want. And the service of driver Abdula with coffee, water and snacks were amazing. Thanks for this tour with both, I recommend them.

Reem and her driver Meemo were excellent, and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and experience local food, and were very courteous and attentive. Would recommend highly.

Our tour was really informative and fun. Reem and Mimo were really good local experts. They were kind and professional. They introduced us to the authentic Egyptian falafels and it was delicious! Def recommend the tour!

Excellent guide and experience with Amal. She explained everything and knows very much. Highly recommendable! Also very good driver!

The experience was fantastic! Our guide and driver picked us up from the hotel at the agreed time and immediately made us feel comfortable. Our guide, Khoulud, is amazing! She explains everything in great detail while giving you plenty of time to observe and appreciate the monuments and the places you visit. We visited Saqqara, Dahshur, and Memphis. Khoulud was always helpful and even offered to take photos of us and provided us with snacks! She also speaks English exceptionally well, which makes it easy to understand everything she explains. It was a very interesting and enjoyable day. I would definitely do it again and highly recommend it to everyone! Exceptional value for money.

Rates is a very friendly well trained guide. Prompt, helpful, and able to answer our many many questions!

Donia was our guider. She is very professional, with strong logic, and well experienced. Our tour was starting from an Egypt map to know the history of Egypt. She also reminded us don’t touch the wall before entering the tombs. With her guidance, we were very impressed for what we saw in the tour.

Ibrahim was an excellent guide, he was really knowledgeable about the history of all thr pyramids and very friendly the whole time. The tour was set up nicely, and we had enough time to see everything we wanted and take pictures.

Really good fun, very informative really good advice on what and where to go. Answered all questions great knowledge.

Great tour!! Our tour guide Ibrahim was very knowledgeable and passionate about his job. He went out his way to make sure we had a great day. Highly recommend 🥰🥰

Very nice to have a private guide and driver with pickup time of our choosing

Ibrahim is very knowledgeable and passionate about his work. I highly recommend him. The best tour guide I’ve had!

The guide Ibrahim explained us the most interesting parts of the history of the pyramids and also which one is worth visiting. He is also a very good egyptologist and knows everything about the history of the country. He told us lots of stories about dinasties and kings and priesteses which made our trip super amazing!!

Excellent tour! Sonia is very knowledgeable and professional and patient. I learned so much on this tour and there were so few tourists at the sites that it made the experience even better. Visiting these sites is critical to understanding the history snd culture of ancient Kemet. Highly recommend.

Pickup was on time. Driver was good. Our guide Khloud was knowledgeable and guided us through the sites well. The tombs at Saqqara were the highlight of the tour.

We had a great time on this tour. The pickup was right on time, as planned and confirmed the day before, when our guide contacted us on whatsapp. Our guide Ibrahim was very helpful in answering our questions regarding not only the pyramids, but also Egypt in general as well. 7 hours of time well spent. I highly recommend visiting these places with a guide, as it adds very much value to your trip and takes the hassle out of finding the best viewpoints or buying the entrance tickets yourself, making it way easier to just enjoy your day and the wonders of Egypt.

We had an exceptional day. Our guide, Ah med was excellent. He ensured our entrance to all sites, provided us with water and snacks as needed. He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. Our driver was wonderful as well. Calm in traffic and I did not worry in the crazy traffic. Car was comfortable. Thank you for a wonderful day in your beautiful country. It was a very valuable experience.

Great tour! Started with good communication on pickup. Guide (Ahmed) very knowledgeable and helpful. Wife is a foodie so he stopped a few times to buy local food along way.

Lydia was perfect for two geeks who know quite a bit about Egypt but were eager for more information. She listened patiently to us and made sure we saw the more unusual objects and sights whilst filling in the gaps in our knowledge. Lydia was very kind and gentle with a pair of older ladies who were having a great time ticking off a bucket list ‘must see’. She also did not take us to any shops where we had to buy things!

Ibrahim the guid was a very good. Also the driver Faid was nice too.

The guide Manar was pleasant, very knowledgeable , patient and accommodating. We enjoyed the tour. The driver Ahmad was pleasant and remarkably good in traversing the chaotic traffic of downtown Cairo.

Donia was excellent, informative, very knowledgeable and very pleasant. Clearly loves her job. Everything went very smoothly including pick up, drop off car and driver , Ahmed. Very professional, no hassle, no hustle. I learned a lot and hope to remember at least half of it. Had to work harder than expected crawling in and out of pyramids Thanks for the day

Incredible day with lots of physical and amazing sightsolookkoooooooot

Highly recommend this tour! Our guide, Ibrahim, is studied in Egyptian history and knowledgeable about all things Egyptian. Very personable. A shout out to our driver too!

ibrahim was a wonderful guide. You will be lucky if you get him for your guide. If you are interested in history, archeology, architecture or Egyptian mythology, he is the guide for you.
