Excellent day trip to see pyramids at Giza, and then on to Sakkara and Darshur which were less touristy than Giza, so worth seeing if you want a bit more context. We learnt so much from Emad our guide. He was great at explaining facts in a clear way. He was also friendly and helpful, as was our driver. We had a very good lunch too and felt well looked after!
Emad was our guide. He was on time in picking us up and he was extremely informative throughout our tour. He was very friendly and patient when we wanted to take more pictures. Definitely recommend.
Very nice day with our guide Emad Salib. Excellent egyptologue. He is a walking encyclopedia! Emad took us to 3 sights for pyramids. Take the lunch on your tour, it’s very good. We strongly recomand! Thank you for this amazing day Emad!
We were lucky to have the guide Emad Salib for our tour. I’ve booked different guided tours in our trip in Egypt and he was the best one by far. I picked the tour to visit 3 major sites (Giza, Sakkara, Dahshour) in one day even though we had the option to do the tour in 2 days and it was completely doable. We covered everything we wanted to see as well as interesting things we didn’t know about. Emad was key to making it happen without any rush. He knew exactly where to take us to avoid crowds and helped us resolve the issue where I booked tickets for the sites online with the wrong date. If I didn’t have him to talk (negotiate) with the ticket office people, I probably would have needed to buy them again. Pro tip: do not buy the tickets online to save time, the lines are not long in person. Doing 3 major sites is a lot of sightseeing in a day but definitely doable. We did the Giza pyramids first to avoid crowds and heat, with a camel ride in the morning when it was cooler. We had the option to either have lunch or save it for the end of the tour, which we opted for. Next at Sakkara, we visited a noble’s tomb with detailed reliefs, climbed into King Teti’s pyramid, went inside the Step Pyramid, and visited the Serapeum. I highly recommend spending time at Sakkara as it’s not crowded and is more interesting historically than the Giza Pyramids. Lastly, we went to Dahshour to see the Red and Bent Pyramids and did the difficult, but unique climb into the Bent Pyramid. Note: This climb may not be for you if you have mobility issues since it requires going down hunched backwards a steep 80m tunnel. Emad knew the highlights and explained the history and archaeological findings in a way that was both interesting and memorable. He is an extremely honest, hardworking guide (even refunded parking money that we paid when we bought tickets). We spent almost 9h with him where he always put us first. I would 1000% recommend booking this tour with him.
We enjoyed our time with Salib. He is very passionate on his job. He will answer all your questions in details. I would highly suggest you do tours with him.
Definitely recommend this day tour if you are visiting Cairo and planning to see the pyramids then this day tour is a must . Our tour guide Salib was very impressive, the way he explained the rich history of the pyramids and areas really let us learn about these world wonders, Salib was very patient with us and adhered to our needs whilst taking us to all the main sites on this day tour. If you are looking for a day tour to visit the pyramids and learning about Egypt’s rich history then we definitely recommend this day tour especially if you have Salib as your tour guide! 5 stars !
Had a fantastic day, Salib was an excellent guide with so much knowledge and made the experience so enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this tour to add to your experience in Cairo.
One of those days you will always remember. Starting with the great pyramids of Giza our guide Salib took us on a journey of discovery. His friendly approach and knowledge both of the ancient world of the pharaohs as well as local customs and usage was extensive and made it a day to remember.
A great overview on the evolving architecture of the pyramids and related aspects of the burial process. Our guide Osama was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He also had great tips on how to experience the famous sites without it feeling repetitive, and how to get the most out of the day.
We had a fantastic time, and learned a lot about all of the pyramids and tombs that we visited. Our guide, Salib, was very knowledgeable-both about the history of the sights and also about the access routes into each pyramid. This was very useful in deciding whether to go inside the pyramids and knowing what to expect! The journey to each site was pleasant with just the right amount of local knowledge and history shared along the way. We would recommend this trip, thank you Salib.
Salib is incredibly thoughtful and thorough. Made sure to give us plenty of tips, for pictures places to go and what tickets would be helpful and what can be seen. He was incredibly informative about all the places we went.
The tour was good! There was a lot of details and the tour guide (Salib) was very knowledgeable and welcoming. He waited for us a little because we were late in the morning. He spent from 7:30 am to 6 pm with us and was very patient.
Osama our guide and Abdullah our driver gave us a very great tour of the pyramids. They were attentive and very kind! They gave us a lot of knowledge and background information that was very beneficial and enjoyable and accommodated us with all our needs. Overall a 5/5 experience and I would definitely recommend them if you need a tour guide in Egypt!
It was an amazing tour! Our driver Omar and our guide Salib were the absolute best! We had an incredible day visiting the pyramids. Salib knew everything about the history. I highly recommend this tour!
We had an amazing day tour with our guide Salib. He was extremely knowledgeable and explained vast amounts of history and details for each site we visited including an overview of ancient Egyptian history as well as fine details down to explaining specific meanings of the inscriptions on walls. He was flexible in our schedule also, allowing us to re-organize the order in which we visited the sites.
Great experience, highly recommend to anyone wanting to see the pyramids/sphynx and learn more about Egyptian history. My boyfriend and I both agree we got huge value for the price. Our guide, Osama, and driver, Ibrahim, were professional, timely, kind and super knowledgeable. Between historic sites they took us to a delicious lunch and a Papyrus shop where we learned about ancient paper making and purchased souvenirs for friends and family. We wouldn’t change a thing, 10/10!
The guide Salib is amazing! Everything was perfect, right after we started the tour he was telling us everything about Egypt and History, answering all of our questions and he noticed that my girlfriend doesn’t speak English, so he gave me time between one and other explanation to translate everything to her. His knowledge about ancient Egypt civilization is remarkable. The entire tour was great, he was very careful with our wellbeing (offering water from time to time, suggesting a nice restaurant, explaining the necessary effort in order to enter the pyramids, and also helping us to find a sunblock 😅). He is an excellent tour guide and probably an even better photographer, we are going home with a lot of memories and nice photos 😁 We really appreciate everything that Salib did. Thank you so much for your great job!
Salib was an amazing guide and Essam was a great driver! We went to the Pyramids at Dashur, Sakkara, and Giza. I had the opportunity to go inside all of the ones I wanted to, which was a big highlight for me. Salib was very informative and knowledgeable about Egyptian history. He also was very patient when I was taking loads of pictures. Essam expertly drove us through the chaotic streets of Egypt. I highly recommend this tour if you want to see all of the amazing Pyramids around the Cairo area.
We went on a trip 7h trip with Salib to Saqqara, Dashur and Memphis. Salib is very nice and also highly knowledgeable. He knew everything about the 3 pyramids (step pyramid, bent pyramid and red pyramid) we visited as well as grave sites for prime ministers. He had really detailed explanations about what the shape of a beard or the clothes and the leg positions mean on a statue. We asked some more questions that were not part of the tour (for example on the differences of representations between Ramses II and Akhenaten) and he had really detailed explanations. He also made sure we had enough water at all times without extra cost. There is a possibility to have lunch, but we didn’t do that (we had a very big dinner the night before). We paid $160 for 4 of us (this could of course change with exchange rates … Egyptian pound changes quite a bit). Money really well invested. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
Guide: Salib Driver: Essam They came pick us up at the hotel. Even though it was just the two of us they didn’t cancel the trip - we ended up having a private tour! Salib has unlimited knowledge of Egypt and its history. He was able to answer all of our questions, adding a lot of interesting details and information not only connected to the sites. He gave us enough time to explore, take pictures and chill. I highly recommend him for his professionalism and kindness. Essam is a professional driver managing to navigate through the difficult traffic of Giza, always ready to open (and close) the car door for us!🤩 The tour was worth it!
Guide Salim and driver Essam were very kind and receptive. The tour was informative and comprehensive. The restaurant indicated by the guide was also good.
It was a great tour through the history of Egypt in over 7 hours. Salib is a very knowledgeable and kind tour guide that provides us with both broad and detailed information about all aspects. Highly recommend it!
We had a private guided tour to several Pyramids in Cairo. The next day we saw Coptic Cairo and the National Museum. Salib was an excellent tour guide with lots of knowledge about Egyptian history and he was able to answer every question we had. He made sure that we had a wonderful experience on our tours. Essam our driver should win a prize for his great driving in the Cairo traffic. He always stayed calm and we felt very secure and were able to relax. Thanks for this great experience!
Amazing tour. Good combination activities. Was wonderful to learn about the pyramids in all 3 sites. Saqqar was amazing! Salib our guide was wonderful. From our initial contact, planning what we wanted to experience, to when we met him and the whole tour. Great communicator, calm, punctual. The whole experience was relaxing and exciting at the same time. Salib’s in-depth knowledge was amazing yet he kept the whole experience nice and simple. Essam our driver was also lovely, patiently looked after us. Confident driver. Salib and Essam make a wonderful combination :) Over all we felt well looked after, loved our experiences in Giza, which will stay in our memories forever.
Salib the tour guide and Essam where very accommodating and flexible to add and subtract activities. Salib is very knowledgeable. Took us to great lunch places and very friendly and polite. I would definitely recommend both for your travels.
An amazing experience of Egypt’s finest monuments with our tour guide Salib and driver Essam. Very organised and highly informative, creating a wonderful experience!
Salib was a true gentleman and looked after all our needs. He was very informative and flexible , nothing was ever an issue . We had a great time and will recommend him to anyone wanting to travel to Egypt . Essen our drive was also very helpful and punctual. Took us around very safely . Very very good experience for our 1st trip to Egypt.
The explanation and detailed knowledge that Saleeb has to offer is amazing! Saleeb is a great guide and took time out to ensure our tour was catered exactly to what we wanted to see and do. I would recommend Saleeb to anyone wanting to visit the Great Pyramids and beyond. Definitely worthwhile going with a private tour.
From the beginning I had great communication with Salib. He patiently waited for us as our sleeper train was very late to arrive making us almost an hour late to meet him at our hostel. He was an excellent tour guide and we felt very informed of the pyramids. He even got us breakfast sandwiches and waters which we were grateful for after our long trek to get to Cairo. I would definitely recommend booking your tour here and asking for Salib!
All Day Tour to a lot of (and inside) some Pyramids with my 10 Year old son.....great Experience.....again with Salib as a Guide......nicest guy in egypt !!....the Trip took us all day ...and was worth every minute......you don't even have to walk the plateau of Gizeh at the end.....the Drive drives you to all the Points of interest you want...an of course Salib will tell you everything about every spot....and very important: he won't let you get in Trouble with some annoying Dealers on the Tourist-Spots .......little advice : when you want to enter the Bent-pyramid in Dashur...you better be in some physical shape ;).....was (again) a great experience with great Mr. Salib !! Best Guide you could possibly ask for in that area.
The best part of the trip was our guide, Salib...🙂🙂🙂 Right from the beginning of pick till the end, he was friendly, knowledgeable, grateful, helpful and careful about our comfort. Thank u Salib and keep up the good work !!
Great day with Emad Salib. A very good Egyptologist who made us discover the pyramids safely. He taught us well and guided us well
Very interesting tour. The guide Osama was very helpful and knowledgeable, he explained everything with great care and his advice was excellent. The bus driver, Tamer, was also very good. Highly recommended.
The Pyramids are wonderful, both those of Giza (Keops, Kefren...) and the ancient ones like Saqqara. Our Salib guide explains everything very didactic and organized. It was adapted to our needs making a very comfortable visit. Both he and the driver, very professional. Highly recommended (in English that's what we hired)
