Mira is the best guide you can ask for, she is an encyclopedia of knowledge. The time flies by so fast like youre in a time travel history exploration movie and we are all the archeologist stars akin to Indiana Jones making discoveries our mind hadnt known before which Egypt is best for. She is so kind and thoughtful and really added so much more to the tour by always answering questions and providing information that may not have been expected for her to know but she knew everything and had an answer for every question brought her way. Ahmed was a great driver air conditioning on perfect cool and the seats were very fancy! Great duo to make a great tour. It lasted about 8 hours as planned due to shopping and stops. The only additional admission fee was to go inside the tomb at Saqqara which we highly recommend. August is slow season so the crowd was minimal. We are so grateful!

Our tour today was absolutely exceptional. The locations we visited—, from Saqqara and the Step Pyramid of Djoser to Mit Rahina and the remarkable pyramids of Dahshur were fascinating and provided an incredible insight into the history of ancient Egypt. What truly made the experience stand out was Ibrahim. His knowledge, passion, and ability to explain the history and significance of each location were exceptional. He made the entire experience engaging, informative, and memorable. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Egypt, and especially recommend Ibrahim as an outstanding guide.

What a great experience! Ahmed was a wonderful guide to see wonderful sites. We had a full day seeing the pyramids and learning Egyptian history. Ahmed was happy to answer all our questions and very mindful of our time on the tour. If you go in the pyramids, be ready for a workout, sweating, and small spaces. Overall a fantastic day and way to experience the pyramids.

Very good experience. Our guide Amira was very pleasant and very knowledgeable about Ancient Egypt, as she has a degree in it. It is worth it, 100% recommended. They gave us water and candy to get energy and keep us hydrated. Every time we made stops along the way, he would explain anecdotes and secrets that other guides overlooked.

Guided tour by a communicative and knowledgeable guide. The transport was very convenient, having left us in a different place than the pickup. The tour included lunch at a restaurant with varied and good quality buffet. I just wish the visit to Saqqara had included a visit to the Serapeum instead of just staying around the pyramids. With this adjustment, it would have been perfect. However, I highly recommend!
Dear valued customer thank you for your time to share your review But why need to ask you why you don’t ask your guide Serapeum not required for all quests so the government make it extra ticket because of that Serapeum it’s an extra ticket and only 7 $ if you asked your guide she will happy to help you for that but you don’t ask about that
Ibrahim is passionate about his work. He is very knowledgeable and was extremely accommodating, customizing parts of the tour to fit my interests. The trip is absolutely worth it—especially for a solo traveler. Our driver, Abdullah, was very pleasant and agreeable. I highly recommend this tour!
