Private Tour to Dahshur Pyramids, Memphis, and Saqqara All Inclusive

Saqqara and the Serapeum are outside the main touristic sites but are absolute wonders which are worth a visit. We were very lucky to be guided by Mahmoud Fawzy, a very knowledgeable and kind guide who escorted us through the sites and explained clearly and in perfect English all the history, architecture and hidden facts of such incredible places. The Saqqara pyramids are unique and once you are inside you stop and think that you are inside buildings 5,000 years old which is incredible. The level of preservation of certain sites is also amazing. But I must say that the Serapeum was particularly stunning as it still holds many mysteries around its origin. We really appreciated also the driver who picked us up from our hotel and drove us to all the sites. The lunch place served good Egyptian food and was a very nice break from the warmer weather and strong sun. If you are planning a trip to Cairo, this tour should definitely be on your itinerary.

Khaled Hassan has excellent history and general knowledge, could answer almost any question. We have seen, visited, heard and experienced a lot. He has told exciting and with very good German. A great day with a graduation at a good restaurant in Giza. The best tour we've ever had in Egypt. Thank you so much!

Great communication from Aly tours!!! We booked 4 separate private tours with Aly Egypt. First one was to Saqqara, red and bent pyramids, old Memphis and the step pyramid of Djoser. Our guide Mohammed was great! A serious scholar and excellent at his craft. Two other tours were in Luxor (Karnak and Luxor temples, then Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut temple, Colossi of Memnon and Habu temple) with tour guide Moody. He was hilarious and certainly a seasoned actor. Unfortunately there was too many jokes and not enough substance for our interests. Our third excursion took us from Luxor to Dendara to see the amazing temple of Hathor and Abydos to see Seti I’d temple. Our guide Hami was AMAZING! He helped us understand the pieces that were missing from our Luxor guide and taught us so much more! I can’t say enough good things about him, except I wish we had had him in Luxor! Lovely human!! So, when booking, be sure to state your interests: informative or entertaining and you fully enjoy the experience. The drivers were all great annd trustworthy. Also, the lunches are with giant touring groups with mediocre meals. We wish we could have had more authentic choices. Maybe ask? Choose Aly Tours!!

had a great day saw many sites guide mahmoud was very knowledgeable food was very nice the driver was very good would recommend

Mahmoud was incredible! So knowledgeable and shared amazing knowledge about all the sites. Honestly, this was more impressive than Giza pyramids and far less crowded. We started at 8 am from Giza and missed all the crowds! This tour with him is a must do when visiting Cairo! I’m so glad we didn’t miss it and thank you Mahmoud for an amazing day.

Aly of Egypt made this great adventure possible: A one-day tour from Cairo to visit Saqqara (Saqqarah), Dashur and Memphis. This is a unique experience to learn about earlier pyramids, and the previous capital of Egypt Memphis. It really fits nicely in a day, although there is lots to see, if you go with the right guide and driver. In those 3 places, unless you have a knowledgeable guide, you will just walk around and miss the important features. Ahmed, our driver, drove very safely on the secondary roads needed to access the sites. Mustafa knows the sites and could walk us to the right places: as an example, finding the serapeum at Saqqara on our own would have been mission impossible. We had a great day, and we strongly recommend you contact Aly of Egypt to make arrangements for your travel to Egypt!
