Reisroute
Gizeh Plateau. Daar verken je het ontzagwekkende trio van piramides - die van Kings Cheops, Chephren en Menkaure - bewaakt door het majestueuze uit rotsen gehouwen standbeeld, de Sfinx. De Grote Piramide van Koning Cheops blijft het enige staande wonder van de oorspronkelijke zeven wereldwonderen uit de oudheid, een verbazingwekkende prestatie gezien zijn leeftijd die 2000 jaar ouder is dan de andere wonderen.
Grote Sfinx: Ervaar de raadselachtige aantrekkingskracht van de Grote Sfinx, een ontzagwekkend half leeuw, half mens beeld, terwijl onze deskundige gidsen de geheimen en betekenis ervan in de oude Egyptische mythologie onthullen.
Vervolgens ga je je verwonderen over het Saqqara-complex, toegeschreven aan koning Zoser. Hier ontmoet je zijn baanbrekende trappiramide - een architectonische mijlpaal die wordt erkend als de inaugurele piramide van Egypte en het baanbrekende voorbeeld van uit rotsen gehouwen constructies in de menselijke geschiedenis.
We vervolgen onze reis en gaan naar Memphis, een voormalige Egyptische hoofdstad tot ongeveer 2200 voor Christus. Deze historische plek diende als een gerespecteerd knooppunt voor Ptah, de godheid van de schepping en het kunstenaarschap. Terwijl je verkent, kom je een groot aantal tempels en monumenten tegen die zijn opgericht ter ere van deze belangrijke god.

Our guide Heba was friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. We had to skip the last part due to heat. Lunch was streetfood falafel sandwiches which we ate in the car but it was tasty.
Heba was a great tour guide! Took great pictures and showed us really cool areas that most people skip over.
It is always a treat to hear that Heba has been taking our guests "off the beaten path" to see those hidden gems that most tourists miss out on! Here is a warm, human response for your Viator page: "Thank you so much for the great review! We are thrilled to hear that you had such a wonderful time exploring Giza, Saqqara, and Memphis with Heba. Heba loves finding those unique, lesser-known spots to give our guests a truly special and complete look at Egypt's history. We are so glad you enjoyed discovering those 'cool areas' with her—and that she captured some fantastic photos along the way to help you remember the day! We will be sure to pass your compliments along to her. Thank you for choosing Egypt Tailor Made, and we hope to travel with you again soon! Warmly, The Egypt Tailor Made Team"
Hend’s tour of the Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Saqqara was excellent. The tour was everything I had dreamed of doing to experience Ancient Egypt. Hend told us the history in a way that was like listening to a story. She was also very kind and considerate. She knew great locations for photos. It was a lovely day. I highly recommend Hend as a tour guide.

We had the best time with our guide Hend on the Egypt Tailor Made day tour of the Giza Pyramids, Memphis, and Saqqara! The whole day went so smoothly and both Hend and our driver were so professional. We hit all of the high points and also learned a lot about history that we wouldn’t have known to ask about. Hend thought of everything and knew all of the best spots to take photos. I recommend very highly!

Totally mind blowing experience. Sabri was excellent and extremely knowledgeable. He paid extra attention to bring the history to life , through stories , showcasing everything its significance in civilisation and its relevance today . His knowledge was deep but was effortless in his delivery making it easier and entertaining to understand what we were seeing He spoke several languages too including Italian and English . The Pyramids and the GEM are a must , as is Saqqarah - where our journey began given us access to tombs that the every day tourists would bypass then ending with a fascinating tour of old Cairo . Nothing was a problem. With a private driver and an expert guide in Sabri our visit to Cairo ( which topped and tailed a fascinating Nile Cruise - another must ) was truly inspiring and remarkable. Very highly recommend!
"Thank you so much for this incredible and inspiring review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your private tour of Saqqara, Memphis, Giza, the GEM, and Old Cairo was a totally mind-blowing experience. Sabry is an exceptional asset to our team, and we love how you described his effortless delivery—bringing ancient monuments to life through their relevance to today's world is his true signature. It is wonderful that you got to experience his impressive multilingual skills and that his smart routing gave you exclusive, quiet moments inside the tombs of Saqqara away from the main crowds. We are glad that having your own private driver and Sabry's expert guidance made your time topping and tailing your Nile cruise completely stress-free and seamless. We will be sure to pass your high recommendation and wonderful words along to Sabry. Thank you for choosing Egypt Tailor Made, and we hope to welcome you back for more remarkable discoveries in the future! Warmly, The Egypt Tailor Made Team"
We had a wonderful day with Mr Sabry and Mohamed the driver. His knowledge of the subject is phenomenal and he keeps up with all the most recent developments. He uses his knowledge to give such clear and informative explanations. We cannot recommend him more highly.
Manar, our guide, was absolutely outstanding. She was incredibly knowledgeable and generously shared her insights throughout the drive, bringing every place to life with context and stories. She was warm and accommodating, always making sure we were comfortable. She was gentle and thoughtful with my 11-year-old son. We would highly recommend her, especially for families traveling with children.
We used Tailor Made Tours for three different excursions during our trip to Cairo. Hend was our fantastic guide for all three days. First off, communication was super easy with the company via Whatsapp, and they were accommodating to tailor the tour to what we wanted to see. Day 1 we went for a half day tour of the GEM where Hend was instrumental in explaining ancient Egyptian history. We wanted to stay extra hours at the end of the tour which wasn't a problem and she even tried to have the driver stay and wait for us (we declined since we didn't know when we'd leave)! Day 2 we took the trip that this review is posted under for Giza pyramids, Saqqara, and Memphis. She made great recommendations on which extra things were worth paying for vs not based on our interests. Day 3 was a half day tour of the citadel/Mohammed Ali mosque, 2 Coptic churches, synagogue Ben Ezra, and the NCEM. Again her explanations were instrumental in gaining a deeper understanding of Egypt and Egyptian history. She was also super friendly, answered all our questions even about modern life in Egypt, and never pushed any additional sights (ie no stops at tourist traps unless you want to go buy a rug or what not). We had two different drivers and they were excellent (in sharp contrast to an Uber driver where I thought we might all die). I used this company in 2014 and came back because they were excellent then and excellent now. Definitely recommend going with them!
Wonderful tour with a very experienced guide across the pyramids and the sphinx, as well as Memphis. Sabry had an answer to all my questions and was incredibly kind and organized. Pick up at 7am was perfect timing to avoid the crowds. Truly amazing experience!
We had an amazing time with Heba - she is an incredibly experienced guide, who paced the tour perfectly and created an awesome atmosphere. We started the tour early at the pyramids, where there were hardly any people, which made the experience infinitely better. Besides her amazing knowledge of the pyramids and Egyptian history which she imparted with us along the way, Heba also knew all the best spots for photos! We followed this with a quick stop at the papyrus museum where we had a brief talk on how papyrus paper is made. The stop was short, the demonstration was quick and informative and the staff were not pushy. We then went to Saqqara, where Heba shared lots of tips of which tombs are best to go into (for an extra fee) and guided us as to not miss the last entrance to one of the free tombs as well. We finished the tour in Memphis, where we learned a bit more about Rameses II at the museum. I would highly recommend this tour and if you're lucky enough to get Heba as your guide - I can almost guarantee you'll have a great time.
