High quality daily tour

Berkay_Y, Nov 2026

An incredible day trip to Saqqara – Dahshur – Memphis Instead of booking an all-inclusive package tour, we bought all our entry tickets online in advance and simply hired a private car with a driver for the entire day. The service far exceeded our expectations: * Super accommodating driver: Whether we wanted to stop along the way to buy fresh dates, grab some water, or have lunch at a sit-down restaurant of our choice, he was always happy to help without rushing us at all. Thank to you Mouhammad! * Thoughtful customer care: A huge plus was that the tour manager kept in touch via phone throughout the day, proactively checking in to make sure everything was running smoothly. Traveling this way gave us full control over our time, saved money, and still offered complete peace of mind. We highly recommend this option for anyone who prefers self-guided exploration!

Aly was fantastic! The tour was unforgettable.

Aly was a wonderful guide. He clarified if we wanted the normal tour or up to be an explorer. Take him up on being an explorer!! We were able to avoid crowds when possible. Nothing like being the only people next to the pyramids!!

Great Visit to Saqqara

Philip_S, Sep 2026

Great experience. Aly was a great guide that was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited but the key was his wanting my group to gain a deeper understanding of our visits. I would recommend this tour along with Aly as the guide as you will not be disappointed plus he was patient and not pushing to get the tour over. Great pick!

Both the driver and the guide Aly were excellent. They were very friendly and charasmatic, with great English. The tour of the sites was excellent, didn't feel rushed and showed us lots of interesting things not on the main routes. I'd highly recommend it.
