Fantastic day trip

Published on Feb, 2025

We did the Saqqara, Dahshur and Memphis trip, guided by Hosni. I booked it online about a month before and received instant confirmation. I then sent an email to reconfirm a couple of days before and got a fast response. The day was well paced, Hosni was very knowledgeable and we had a fantastic time. Highly recommended.

Excellent visit to the early pyramids!

Published on Feb, 2025

Doing a private tour was the right thing to do! Thank you to our very knowledgable guide, Mohammed, who provided us with a lot of detailed information about the sites we visited and was very personable. I highly recommend this tour with Mohammed!

Excellent tour

Published on Jan, 2025

We asked the company to take us to Saqqara and to the old Coptic area. Zizou, an Egyptologist, took us around and gave excellent explanations of the sites. He offered a brief presentation of ancient Egyptian history to help us get a good picture of the area. Zizou is well versed on history, hieroglyphics, religion, and probably a lot more! Thank you to Zizou and driver for a great day.

Excellent tour of Sakkara and Dahsur.

Published on Jan, 2025

We visited Sakkara, Dahsur and Memphis with Mohamed Gomaa. Mohamed began the tour with an outline of Egyptian history and explained in much greater detail about the places we visited when we were there. He was able to answer all of our questions and was good at finding photo opportunities. We both went inside the pyramid of Unas at Sakkara and my husband tackled the Bent pyramid at Dahsur. The quick visit to the carpet factory was interesting and finally Mohamed helped us bargain for a souvenir when we visited Memphis. This was a really interesting day out and we can recommend the tour especially with Mohamed Gomaa as guide.

A day with zizou

Published on Jan, 2025

Zizou was a phenomenal tour guide. Very passionate about Egyptology and very accommodating to our tour group. He was able to reccomend us multiple things to do and more importantly what not to do. At each location he was able to tell us the history in a meaningful way. And importantly take phenomenal photos! The car accomodations and driver were great as well which made for a seamless day. 10/10
