KayC_H, Jan 2026

Ibrahim was an excellent...

Ibrahim was an excellent guide. I could tell he loved sharing history with us! Our driver was good as well. They were on time in a nice clean car. He showed us things the large tours would never see. Don’t go down the long dark crawl in the pyramid. Ibrahim has a better one to see and you won’t get harassed for money.

Unforgettable experience

My visit to the pyramids and the ancient tombs was an unforgettable experience, made even better by my guide/photographer, Omar, a knowledgeable Egyptologist who brought every site to life with rich context and fascinating stories. Walking through the tombs and standing before structures that have endured for thousands of years gave me a deep appreciation for the history, beliefs, and daily life of ancient Egyptians. I’m so happy I came.

Know before you go

There’s very little shade at Saqqara—don’t forget your hat, sunscreen, and water.
Wear shoes adequate for navigating desert terrain.
