All other reliefs and statues were found in fragments, and many buildings of Khufu are lost. Everything known about Khufu comes from inscriptions in his necropolis at Giza and later documents.

For someone who loves ancient history as much as I do, the tour agency sent me the perfect guide for my day. Amira, without a script, walk me through details on each of these ancient sites. Many of which I was partially familiar with, but now I have a much deeper understanding. Thank you so much Amira for your wisdom and guidance while visiting these are inspiring monuments.
This was sold as a 9 hour (approx..) tour. We were picked up at 8am but Mohammed who started off my reprimanding us as he’d been waiting for us since 7.30am. The agreed pick up time was 8am. We then had a rushed tour of the pyramids at Giza & had left the sight by 9.15am despite the listing saying we would have 3 hours there. Mohammed told us very few facts about the site & seemed only interested in taking a photograph of us at each place & moving swiftly on. When we arrived at Saqqara we were taken to the Pyramid of Unas but not to either of Pyramid of Teti or Mastaba of Ti. Again, we were told very few facts about the site & the ‘guide’ was just interested in taking a few photos of us & then moving swiftly on. We had finished at this site by 11am & Mohammed pointed out the Bent & Red pyramids at Dahshur which could be seen in the distance. He said we could visit if we wanted to but didn’t have to. I’m not sure what else he thought we were going to do as there was only Dahshur & Memphis left on the itinerary. We said we wanted to go & again he told us very few facts about either of these pyramids & just wanted to take a photograph of us & then move on. We refused & walked on our own to both pyramids while both the guide & driver waited at the car. We then went to Memphis & at this point Mohammed didn’t even bother to tell us any facts or offer to take photographs. He just waited at the entrance for us. At this point it was only midday so we took our time walking around but were still finished just after 1pm. We were then taken back to our hotel & dropped off shortly after 2pm. So, a 6-hour excursion not 9 hours accompanied by a driver & a driver’s companion who can speak English & just wants to take photographs & get you back to your hotel as soon as possible. What a waste of a day. If I could I’d give this tour 0 stars.
Fantastic tour amazing guide Menna she was so knowledgeable friendly accommodating Cant recommend her enough We saw everything we wanted to see The food was fabulous and our driver Mohammed very calm and considerate If you only do one tour it has to be this one!!!!
The tour with an archaeologist who told us a lot of details. You could tell he knew a lot and liked what he said.
I am happy that I booked the whole day tour for all pyramids and not only Giza! Each of them gives you a different view of ancient times. I asked to start at 7:30 instead of 8 am, so we çan avoid big groups. They kindly accepted it. Mahmoud was my guid and Sultan the driver, super nice people. Mahmoud, in some sites, was changing the order of visit, to avoid mass groups, so that he can explain in quiet. I found it very pragmatic. In Saqqara there were some works going on and he reminded me a few times to mind my steps by adding safety 1st !! a very important mindset for a guide ! They didn't force me to go to shops, despite of my experience with some other tours in other countries And even I asked them where I can by egyption Lenin and they happily took me there For historical explanations; I am a nerdy person and I could have absorbed even more.
Very good experience, we had Hazim as guide and Abdala as driver, both were great. Hazim explains well in English and organizes the day very well according to our preferences. Abdala drove well and is very kind.
This tour is an absolute must while visiting Cairo. My tour guide Khadija was extremely professional and knowledgeable. She made my day full of laughs. You will not be disappointed.
We were so lucky to have the best tour guide EVER! We learned so much on this experience, got amazing photos, and had a delicious lunch. We loved to see all of the pyramids but Sakkara was by far the most beautiful and had as aw struck! If you book this tour, you are in for a treat!!
I would like to report a deceitful guide - a 62 yrs old guide called Assam. He took me to this day trip to Giza which I booked through Viator app. On the way he promoted to me Al Fayoum day tour that he can take me to and the cost was 150 USD. He told me that he can arrange it so I do not need to book it from Viator. I trusted him and this was a mistake. The Fayoum day trip happened and I paid him the 150 USD in cash. It was horrible, he did not offer me any lunch instead brought me fruits and water, did not rent 4x4 vehicle for the dessert part ( we went with the normal car and took us forever to get to the Valley of Whales) and he did not show me the Tunis Village in Fayoum. I feel very disappointed with Emo Travels company and the guides that are working in it.
It was so amazing! The guide Mizo was so knowledgeble about everything and super funny as well. (Took great pictures also!) You could tell he loves what his doing and the driver Mustafa was great! We could customize the trip as we wanted with extra stops in super cool places. And everything went super smooth. It exeeded our expetations!
