The Saqqara complex, located in the ancient necropolis of Memphis, Egypt, is one of the most significant archaeological sites in the world. It served as the burial ground for ancient Egyptian royalty and high officials, spanning from the Early Dynastic Period through the Greco-Roman era. Saqqara is most famous for its Step Pyramid of Djoser, the oldest known large-scale stone structure. The Step Pyramid of Djoser: Designed by the architect Imhotep for Pharaoh Djoser (circa 2667–2648 BCE) of the Third Dynasty. The pyramid consists of six mastaba-like layers stacked on top of each other, reaching a height of about 60 meters. Surrounding the pyramid is a vast mortuary complex, including courtyards, temples, and ceremonial structures. Saqqara was not just a burial site but also a spiritual center. It symbolized the connection between life, death, and rebirth in the afterlife
KING UNAS Pyramid one of the most important pyramids as it is the first pyramid to contain the pyramid text The Pyramid of King Unas, located in the Saqqara necropolis near Cairo, Egypt, is one of the most historically significant pyramids from the Old Kingdom. Built during the reign of Unas, the last pharaoh of the Fifth Dynasty (circa 2375–2345 BCE), this pyramid is relatively small compared to earlier structures like those at Giza, but it holds immense cultural and historical importance. Pyramid Texts, a collection of religious inscriptions carved into the walls of the burial chamber and antechamber. These texts were designed to guide the pharaoh’s soul in the afterlife. They include hymns, spells, and rituals, laying the foundation for later texts in the Middle and New Kingdoms. The inclusion of Pyramid Texts in this pyramid marked a major shift in Egyptian funerary practices, emphasizing the democratization of the afterlife for others beyond the pharaoh over time.
Memphis was the seat of power for many pharaohs, particularly during the Old Kingdom, when pyramid construction flourished. It served as a major religious center dedicated to Ptah, the god of creation and craftsmen. While little remains of Memphis today due to centuries of quarrying and flooding, nearby ruins like Saqqara, the Step Pyramid of Djoser, and remnants of statues and temples provide insights into its grandeur. The Colossus of Ramses II, a massive limestone statue, is among the notable artifacts discovered in Memphis Today, Memphis is an open-air museum showcasing its storied past, attracting scholars and visitors keen to explore the roots of Egyptian civilization
Discover the legendary Giza Plateau, a timeless symbol of ancient Egypt's brilliance and devotion. This iconic site is crowned by the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the last standing wonder of the ancient world, a marvel of precision and ambition. Nearby, the Pyramid of Khafre rises with its distinctive capstone, while the smaller yet significant Pyramid of Menkaure completes this awe-inspiring trio. Beyond these monuments lies a tapestry of stories. Explore Khufu’s eternal mission as a divine ruler and Khafre’s scepter of authority, uniting earth and sky. No visit is complete without gazing upon the Great Sphinx, its lion’s body and kingly head embodying strength and mystery. Wander the sacred causeways where rituals once flourished, and let the endless desert vistas awaken your spirit. The Giza Plateau isn’t just a site—it’s a journey through history’s wonders, leaving you inspired by its grandeur and rich heritage.

Ibrahim is a fantastic guide, so knowledgeable and passionate about ancient Egypt. My 6 year old son and I had an unforgettable day and learned so much. The day ran like clockwork, travel was comfortable and Ibrahim delivered his information in a way that my son could understand while keeping the adults engaged. Would not hesitate to recommend.
I can honestly say Ibrahim was the best tour guide we could have asked for. Arrived promptly at the airport, car waiting with our driver Mahmoot. Who was also so nice!! Ibrahim was so knowledgable about Egyptian history and was clearly passionate about his incredible home land and amazing culture. As part of our tour we were taken to the Grand Egyptian Museum and we were personally escorted around. This was much appreciated as the museum was vast and we got to see all of the best this incredible museum had to offer. We went on for lunch in Cairo and Ibrahim took us for the best Shwarma. He also kindly stopped for me to sample some Egyptian black coffee which was incredible. We went onto the pyramids and the great sphinx where Ibrahim showed us around the complex, gave us some mind blowing facts about the pyramids and their incredible builders. Mahmoud was promptly waiting when we finished. We were taken to the airport well in time for our flight back to Hurghada. If you’re visiting Egypt and want a private tour then book with Ibrahim!! We had the best, most unforgettable day!! Thank you Ibrahim!!!
An indispensable tour in order to optimize above all the beauties of Giza without being bothered and being able to range with wider questions and connections with other monumental areas, the Hala guide was really competent in this and also very nice. Thank you!
We had an unforgettable experience viewing the pyramids and GEM museum with Ibrahim. He was an incredible guide with amazing knowledge of all things Egyptian. We were traveling with two children and Ibrahim was always aware of the children’s energy levels, scheduling breaks and bathroom stops when needed. Highly recommend Ibrahim and his services to anyone how is looking for a guide in Egypt.
An absolutely unforgettable experience! Our guide; Mohamed (Mo) was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Egyptian history. He brought the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx to life with fascinating stories and insights, while making sure we were comfortable. Everything was well organized; including transport and that he purchased the tickets in advance to help us beat the queus. He knew the best spots for photos and avoiding crowds. Mohamed is Excellent. He's definitely an experienced international tourist guide. Besides being a professional guide, we found him to be a good human with amiable people skills. We had a Great Time. Highly recommend him to anyone visiting Egypt — truly made our trip special!
We had a fantastic day with Ibrahim. Our day consisted of being picked up from Cairo airport, taken for a lovely coffee, then a boat trip on the Nile, followed by the pyramids and sphinx. Lunch was next at a local restaurant. We were then guided through some of the key features of the new Egyptian museum. You could spend days there but Ibrahim being so knowledgeable took us around the key features and provided us with information we wouldn’t have received if we had “gone it alone” Ibrahim has clearly spent a considerable amount of time learning his trade, he provided us with lots of options through the day, nothing was too much trouble for him. We would certainly recommend him and if we were in Cairo again we would seek him out for further tourist guidance. Thank you for a safe, fun, educational day.
Amazing experience. Ibrahim was the best tour guide I had in Egypt. The perfect example of Egyptian hospitality. He was very knowledgeable, he planned every little detail of our day and gave us extra activities to choose to do if then if wanted and we did. We went to see how the paper is made and bought a lovely price and went for a boat ride down the Nile. This is def one of the best trips have done and will always remember this experience and Ibrahim 😃😃😃😃
Amazing experience. Ibrahim was the best tour guide I had in Egypt. The perfect example of Egyptian hospitality. He was very knowledgeable, he planned every little detail of our day and even took time to help with extra activities I wanted to do. In addition to the breathtaking sights we've visited, he took me to have the best food in Cairo. I will always remember this experience!
Thanks a lot to our knowledgeable guide Mr Ibrahim, he made our trip to the giza pyramids very special by showing us best spots, avoiding the heat of the sun as possible and not bringing us to cheap street sellers.. do your tour always with Egypt Mix Tours
The tour was great! Not too rushed and not too slow. You go at your own pace so you don’t feel overwhelmed or bored. My tour guide, Hala, was excellent. She took the time to explain to me all the important information and she was always ready to answer my questions. I booked the tour via Ebrahim, who’s also a great guide and a lovely kind man. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Giza, Saqqara and Memphis! You’ll not be disappointed :)
