Overview

Travel back over 4,000 years on this private tour to the ancient treasures of Memphis, Saqqara, and Dahshur — the origins of pyramid building and royal power in Egypt. Discover Memphis, the first capital of unified Egypt, and see the impressive colossal statue of Ramses II. Continue to Saqqara, home of the famous Step Pyramid of Djoser, the world’s earliest large-scale stone structure. Then head to Dahshur, a peaceful desert site where the Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid reveal the evolution of pyramid design. Led by an expert Egyptologist, this tour uncovers the roots of Egyptian civilization in a relaxed and informative way, with lunch included and comfortable private transport.

Very good guide Ezzaldin Rashdan

I’m from Korea and I came to Egypt. I really enjoyed my time at the Pyramids and I learned a lot about the area through our tour guide Ezzaldin who was with me today. He explained everything to me in detail. His explanation and the time with him were excellent, more than excellent. We also went to the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, the oldest museum. We discussed some of the artifacts and I saw the Hatshepsut Sphinx. It was the first time I discovered there’s another sphinx besides the Great Sphinx in Giza. We also went to Khan el-Khalili and saw the artworks there that represent ancient Egyptian civilization from the Pharaonic era, as well as the Islamic, Greek, and Roman periods. Today was beautiful. Thank you so much Ezzaldin for your effort, and thank you also to our driver Sherif for his smooth driving and the good service you provided for us today. Thank you all very much.

Amazing Cairo Pyramid Tour!

I had an amazing experience on the Pyramids and Sphinx tour with Hana and Ahmed. Everything was perfectly curated from start to finish, making for a seamless and enjoyable day. Both Hana and Ahmed were extremely professional, welcoming, and attentive throughout the tour. Hana, our guide, was exceptionally knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights about the history and significance of the sites. Her communication was outstanding, and her excellent English made everything easy to understand and engaging. Ahmed was also a fantastic host, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and that we were comfortable throughout the experience. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the tour and would highly recommend Hana and Ahmed to anyone visiting Cairo. Thank you both for such a memorable experience!
