Excellent tour. The tour gide mena was very knowledgeable and had great customer experience. Would recommend
Sakkara & Memphis & Dahshur are a gem to visit you will need minimum 5 hours to fully take in all you need to see. The step Pyramid and tombs were exceptional. The short drive to Dahshur took you through villages and into the desert where you can entre both Pyramids the bent one is very tricky to enter as it is very narrow. But hay you are only here maybe once so go for it. Then on to Memphis to see the massive statue of Ramsey’s the 2nd WOW out of this world 1 piece of rock.
The company's education training is insufficient plus the lack of communication is misunderstood, I think the driver knows what the content is written on the website but not, in Egypt to participate in this tour you must do your own homework different from Western society. The driver by his kindness told me what to see in Saqqara but the company did not tell him what the guest's trip included, an attraction I did not visit unfortunately. The driver has given me enough time but feel caught up and feel bad. Additional parking fee is required to be borne by the guests, you must ask in advance or else you will think cheated? Have a pleasant trip in Egypt.
An amazing day visiting pyramids with a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Depending on your physical condition, I would recommend asking the guide which pyramids are more difficult to explore inside, we ran into people who were having trouble getting out.
I had a very pleasant experience with my tour guide Shahenda and driver Yasser. Shahenda was knowledgeable on the history of the sites we visited (Saqqara, Dahshur, and Memphis). She carefully explained the sites and allowed time for questions. You may have a quiz at the end, so make sure you pay attention. It was wonderful to see and enter some of the pyramids. Truly a step into ancient history and another civilization.
To be aware of Mohamed . He lie to us and make us have a terrible experience. He took advantage of us.a lot more to sad but I don’t want to waste my energy after this horrible experience. For guides like him I will never wanted go back to Egypt. If I could leave no start I would.
We loved Amira. She is a very good guide and Egyptologist. We visited Sakkara, Dahshur, and Memphis, and despite the heat, the experience was very worthwhile. You still feel the greatness of Egypt beyond the Giza pyramids. 100% recommendation for the visit and guide
We very much enjoyed our tour, but it went from 6 hours to 5 hours when we said we did not want to visit a carpet/perfume shop whilst by some of the actual sites we felt a little rushed. However our guide and driver were very courteous and friendly so we would recommend nevertheless
I took a private tour with Amir, and I found it very interesting; we visited all the archaeological sites without rushing and stopped whenever I wanted to take photos or explore something in detail. Highly recommended experience
Excellent trip, impeccable transportation, and top-notch attention from Mahren, our guide. Good vibes and plenty of information about each site. Thank you, Emo Tours, for our experience with Mahren.
