Great Tour (Do Research Before!)

Zainab_O, Mar 2023

I had a wonderful time during my tour with Hajar! They made an exception to pick me up from the airport and the driver waited patiently there even though my flight was delayed. We did the tour of Giza and Sphinx but they expressed concerns about being too late for Memphis and Saqqara as both close at 4pm (this was was around 2pm) and suggested the Museum. I did not have wifi so could not see that Saqqara was actually open 24/7. I would have loved to see the other 2 monuments but had a fine time at the Museum. I told Hajar I wanted to buy some oils and she was kind enough to take me to a shop she knew. She also took me to an art shop where they show you how Papyrus paper is made. We made a stop at a jewelry shop which was fine but unnecessary as I didn't express interest and it was quite overpriced. Overall, it was a very good tour and I felt comfortable having a personal driver and tour guide as a solo traveler. The only note I would make is do your research on the sites and have conviction about what you want to see in case they try to sway you.
