Amazing guide!

Ahmed was absolutely fantastic! He was so knowledgeable and answered all our questions. He was incredibly kind and helpful as well. He took those photos I have attached and the pics are great! He also took us to a carpet making place and it was so cool to watch how they make them! Bought some beautiful pieces that weren’t too pricey either! 100% recommend doing a tour with Emo tours!

Look elsewhere

This was fine, but the guide kept insisting I wasn’t having a good time and it made me very uncomfortable. She also provided way more information than I needed and asked questions to make sure I was paying attention, which made the whole thing extremely tiresome. I was not going to write a review, but the tour operator keeps insisting that I do. I wouldn’t go with this tour operator again.

Sakkara, Pyramids of King Zoser and Memphis

Sakkara, Pyramids of King Zoser and Memphis Today I had the pleasure of a fantastic guide Heeba and our driver Hisham who showed me some hidden gems of the city. We started our tour with a delicious local drink made from sugar cane. Our first stop was Sakkara monuments were we visited the pyramids of Zoser. The Egyptian history was explained while we travelled to the first stop so when we arrived I had a good understanding of the history and traditions. After an excellent time there at the pyramids we headed to a traditional Egyptian carpet weaver. I learned the skill and art of this ancient tradition and had a go at carpet knotting. We then headed to Memphis the old ancient city while the sun was setting we strolled the grounds which were amazing. The friendliness of the Egyptians made me feel very welcome and at ease as I was a solo tourist.

Saqqara to the essentials

Very accommodating. We were a little sick and Shady gave us bottles of water. He arranged the tour to fit us, and gave us good tips to avoid scams. Saqqara is a remarkable site. The visit to the south tomb is worth making, as well as from inside the pyramid to the north Merci Shady

An amazing afternoon exploring the other pyramids

It was an amazing afternoon exploring the complex of the Step Pyramid and Memphis! My guide, Ehab, was knowledgeable and made tour enjoyable. He took great pictures of me which was an added bonus. The driver Mohamed, was professional and made me feel safe in the crazy Cairo traffic. After the official tour ended, I was able to extend it to include seeing the Bent and Red Pyramid in Dahshur, which made my afternoon complete!

Great day thanks to Ehab!

Our guide Ehab was very friendly and knowledgeable. Our driver Ahmed did a great job always being ready for us when we exited our stops and navigated expertly. Ehab is highly educated and has even worked in archeological.
