A unique experience thanks to an exceptional team.

Super well-organized and very comprehensive excursion! The car was very comfortable, which made the journey very pleasant. We were fortunate to be able to descend into the pyramids of Meidoum and El-Lahoun, an incredible and unforgettable experience. Hawara was unfortunately flooded, but despite that, the excursion remained exceptional. A big thank you to the driver Mohamed for his kindness and professionalism, as well as to the guide Attiya who was wonderful throughout the day. And a huge thank you to the organizer of KEMET DALIA, who was wonderful and very kind. Her organization and attention truly made a difference. A top-notch team, attentive and passionate. I highly recommend this excursion!

Las 3 pirámides: ¡Alucinante! ¡Imperdible! ¡un sueño hecho realidad!

Las pirámides de Meidum (más la mastaba 16), Hawara y El Lahun son altamente recomendables en una visita a Egipto. La historia asociada a ellas es impresionante. Hay muy poca gente. El ingreso a las zonas arqueológicas requiere un permiso especial. Al llegar a al lugar seremos escoltados por guardias armados (y esto no supone ningún problema). Es decir, es necesaria la organización de una empresa con experiencia tal como lo es Kemet Travel Egypt y un guía experto en la zona, como lo fue la adorable Mika. El ingreso a la pirámide de Meidum y a la mastaba 16 es lo más parecido que van a estar de ser Indiana Jones. Esta experiencia, con esta empresa y con Mika como guía, es un ingreso a otro mundo, ¡Alucinante! ¡Imperdible! ¡un sueño hecho realidad! Estimada Mika, muchas gracias por tu compañía (y por el turbante que me diste, lo guardaré con mucho cariño) The pyramids of Meidum (plus Mastaba 16), Hawara, and El Lahun are highly recommended on a visit to Egypt. The history associated with them is impressive. There are very few people. Entry to the archaeological sites requires a special permit. Upon arrival, we will be escorted by armed guards (and this is perfectly fine). In other words, it's essential to book with an experienced company like Kemet Travel Egypt and have an expert guide, like the lovely Mika. Entering the Meidum pyramid and Mastaba 16 is the closest you'll get to being Indiana Jones. This experience, with this company and Mika as your guide, is like stepping into another world—amazing! Unmissable! A dream come true! Dear Mika, thank you so much for your company (and for the turban you gave me, I will keep it with great affection)

Great time

I had a very good time on a tour to Meidum and Dahshur. Driver was Wael. Wael was equipped with a very comfortable modern car with AC. He did a great job getting us to Dahshur despite the road closures. I thought it would take longer, but he deftly navigated his way on the backroads and streets. While at the sites, Wael also guided me and translated explanations along the way. I would recommend Wael as the driver to anyone visiting Egypt.
