ダハシュールとメンフィス、サッカラの階段ピラミッド、ハルガダからのフライト

Everything went super well. The drivers (transfer to the airport and back to the hotel in the morning and evening) were on time. There were no problems with the flight (ticket / booking). Since no one else booked the trip besides us, we had our own tour guide, Mr. Sameh, and our own driver, Mr. Hosam. The driver drove us very safely and calmly through the often chaotic traffic. We felt safe and well taken care of at all times. Our tour guide was one of the best we have had so far (we go on many round trips and guided excursions). Sameh explained a great deal to us and was very easy to understand. He has a very great deal of knowledge, and you can feel his passion and love for Egyptian culture. He addressed our wishes and needs and brought the sights closer to us with all our senses. For example, he treated us to a sugarcane drink and dates fresh from the palm tree. Both were super delicious. He accepted without further ado that we did not want to visit a papyrus workshop (we already did that on another excursion). The day before the trip, we were asked by the organizer if we would like to see the GEM Great Egyptian Museum for an additional charge. We gladly accepted. All the sights were impressive, the arduous path to the burial chamber of Pharaoh Sneferu was worth it, and despite the additional visit to the GEM, we had enough time everywhere. We recommend this trip to everyone. It is an absolute highlight, interesting and impressive.

We were picked up at the hotel on time at 3.50am and taken to the airport. There we had a quite short stay, as our flight to Cairo started at 6 am. In Cairo our guide Hussein was already waiting for us and accompanied us to the air-conditioned vehicle. There we then discussed the course of the tour and there was also the first information about Egyptian culture. Since there were actually only 3 items on the schedule, but we had the whole day, we started in Cairo with a tour of the old town. There we strolled not only along the lemons and copper alley, but also visited small secluded alleys where the guide bought us a mocha. We continued to the Step Pyramid of Sakara. There we got a lecture in the vehicle: 5000 years of Egyptian history in 25 minutes. Afterwards we went to the also imposing buckling pyramid and red pyramid, which you can also enter. Which is very tedious (and we didn't want to take it upon ourselves because of the heat). Unfortunately, not much remains of the former capital Memphis, as most of the building materials were mined and reused to build Cairo. Since we still had plenty of time after a delicious lunch overlooking the Giza pyramids and it was outside temperatures of over 40 degrees, we made another stop at an air-conditioned perfumery. The trip was completed in a shopping center in New Cairo, where we could stroll for another hour. But also just so that we don't have to sit in the airport waiting so long for our flight home. At 8.50 pm our flight back left and around 10.30 pm we were back at our hotel. Conclusion: A great excursion, perfectly organized and a very good German speaking guide. He took a lot of time to show us everything and explain it really well. Thank you Fred and Anja
