I had a great time with guide Aly Elsheemy. Saqqara is absolutely incredible and Aly gave all the right recommendations and tips to make the most of the time there. He was great and explaining what everything meant and pointing us to the best spots among a vast number of highlights to choose from. Aly was super kind, knowledgeable and aware of my needs. I would absolutely recommend him and am very grateful to have had him as a guide today ☺️

Great Visit to Saqqara
Great experience. Aly was a great guide that was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited but the key was his wanting my group to gain a deeper understanding of our visits. I would recommend this tour along with Aly as the guide as you will not be disappointed plus he was patient and not pushing to get the tour over. Great pick!

What to do with an extra day in Cairo? See Aly!
After 6 visits to Cairo, this was my 3rd time to have a tour guide. Aly was by far the most knowledgeable, communicative, and energetic guide. The day started with Ali explaining the history, geography, and culture of ancient Egypt to put the day’s tour into perspective.
He handled the ticketing and access to the sites. He also asked of our interests and objectives for the tour. Consequently, he gave us in depth exposure to some of the highly interesting but less visited sites such as Memphis, Imhotep Museum, several tombs at Sawqqara, Bent Pyramid, Red Pyramid and, of course, the Serapeum.

Saqarra and Memphis tour
If you need to grasp the full historical context of the Egyptian Pharoahs, and Kings, from the ancient era then please make that reservation with the number one Egyptologist Aly Elsheemy. My wife and I booked this tour with Aly who came to pick us up from our hotel in downtown Cairo. Thank you to Yehia, who expertly and carefully drove us to the museums in Saqqara and Memphis. This tour captures the full scope of the historical facts pertaining to Imhotep, the step pyramid of Djoser, the many tombs that were unearthed, and the ongoing excavations that continue today. You will not be dissapointed with this tour, as Aly will take you back in time and meticulously explain every detail of the family, lifestyle, culture, their habits, work, education, and entertainment. You will travel through time with Aly, who will provide all the historical information, trace the storyline, and make it engaging. Just do it... purchase the tour, and you will definitely yearn for more.

Pyramid tour
What a brilliant day from start to finish .We were met on time by Aly Elsheemy, our guide and Yehia, our professional driver. At all times they were friendly, courteous, professional & very knowledgeable.If there is anything you want to know about Egypt’s pyramids & history, Aly Elsheemy is your man. In Saqqara we were introduced to the first of many pyramids and tombs . We entered some of the tombs and saw walls covered with beautiful illustrations of daily life and hieroglyphics. We were appreciative of Aly’s knowledge in explaining them.
Leaving Saqqara, we went on to Dahshur and was introduced to each of the 5 pyramids …the Red pyramid, the Black pyramid, the White pyramid, The Bent pyramid & the Pyramid built for the wife of the pharaoh. Each one had a story to tell.
This part of the day we learnt about the history of the earliest stone built pyramids.
We then moved on to Memphis, the old capital of Egypt where the lower and upper kingdoms meet . Here we were introduced to statues of Ramases II and an enormous structure of a Sphinx. By this time our knowledge of ancient Egypt had increased enormously and after nearly seven hours Yehia & Aly took us to a loverly restaurant where we had a truly enjoyable Egyptian meal and view of the pyramids.
In addition Aly was a great photographer and we have some great shots of ourselves !
This was a MAGNIFICENT tour which we would undoubtedly fully RECOMMEND to anyone.

Aly was a fantastic tour guide. Hos knowledge of the pyramids and the way he guided my wife and I through that experience will be an unforgettable time for us both. This tour is well worth it. Ask for Aly and he will not disappoint. Great job, thank you much for making history come alive.

Pyramids off the beaten path
Aly Elsheemy was our excellent guide. Our driver, even though we didn’t get to talk to him, was very good.
We were picked up on time from our hotel in Giza and then driven to Saqqara where we were taken around the archeological sites and we went into the Unas pyramid which was amazing inside! We did not enter the Step Pyramid due to the necessary extra cost!
We were then taken to a place which showed us how Egyptian rugs (carpets) are made (which was amazing) and then we had the option to buy. We were not pressurised to buy anything.
We then visited Dahshur where we entered the amazing Bent pyramid (which has been our favourite of five) and the Red pyramid,too.
We then visited the open air museum at Memphis.
We are now on our way for lunch at 2.20pm (we were given a snack to eat earlier).
We have had a really good experience, particularly experiencing everyday life from being driven around.
Thank you very much to perfectly educated Egyptologist Aly Elsheemy from Egypt in Tours and our driver!
💯 RECOMMENDED!

Wonderful solo tours near Cairo
I used Aly Elsheemy from Egypt in Tours for three trips during my time in Egypt. He guides both small groups and solo travelers to locations in and around Cairo. My trips were the following:
• Saqqara – this was the ideal solo/small group tour, capitalizing on his knowledge as an Egyptologist and knowledge/contacts at the site. Normal tours to this site do not cover it in the depth and detail that I was able to enjoy. We were able to get into sites not generally available to the public and also to quickly focus in on the public sites most in line with my interests.
• Fayoum/Valley of the Whales – another incredible tour to an area where whale fossils from 35-45 million years ago have been found. The advantage of taking this trip solo was not as much the content of the trip, but as a solo traveler with this guide, we were able to avoid being “caravaned” with other tourists. This would have slowed our trip immensely!
• Coptic Cairo and Bazaar – a solo tour, which not only covered the normal Coptic churches and mosques, but also the Walls of Cairo and a few other religious sites not normally part of the general group tours. The visit to the bazaar, which is somewhat of a tourist trap, was adapted to my preferences, which primarily focused on photography of various ancient religious buildings and interesting shops in the market.
In short, I endorse Egypt in Tours strongly as a tour leader for solo tours. Although I did not participate as part of a group tour under his leadership, I anticipate his knowledge of the sites and methods to explore and explain them would translate well to that type of forum. His prices are reasonable, especially for the quality he provides.

Amazing Saqqara!!!!!
Arrived on time and everything as agreed. Communicated with us perfectly. Felt and experienced 100% reliability and had no concerns. The car was clean and comfortable. Invited us to a private dinner and made personal connections with family, which was the highlight of our trip.
