Saqqara & Dahsour are worth visiting, especially as the are the oldest piramids and it is interesting to see how the acient Egyptians went from the step piramid to the dented piramid to the first triangle piramid. Memphis was nice to see the huge statue of Ramses II. The lunch at the local food place was tasty. The driver and the guide were friendly. Nice to have a female guide for a change. Minus was that there was a miscommunication between the tour operator and the guide and our pickup was an hour late, but that can happen I suppose. Length was 5.5 hours. Time can be anywhere between 4-8 hours I suppose, depending on where your hotel is located, if you enter all the piramids and if you wish to shop. All in all I would recommend, this site cannot be missed in your schedule if you’re interested in the history of the early piramids!

I had so much fun with Ahmed and Muhammad. Ahmed went out of his way to take fun pictures and he was so knowledgeable about history. He has a real enthusiasm that made the experience special. I took the tour last minute during a layover and they were very accommodating with my schedule to make sure I made my flight.

Will and driver made sure the trip to the pyramids was faultless and very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

It was an amazing experience! Thanks to our guide Randa.. She is an expert with a lot of information to share.

The museum is a wonderful experience. The Bazaar is rather busy and crowded.
