My trip to the Pyramids, Memphis, and Saqqara was an exceptional experience, thanks to our outstanding guide, Mody. Our tour began with a visit to the Pyramids of Giza, where Mody provided us with a detailed explanation of the history .. Mody's deep knowledge made the information he shared even more fascinating 🥰 Next, we headed to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, where we enjoyed viewing the monumental statues of King Ramses. The information Mody provided about the history of Memphis and the lives of the ancient Egyptians was rich and informative.🌹🌷 Next Saqqara, the first royal burial site in Egypt, where we saw the famous Step Pyramid. Mody explained the architectural details of the pyramid and the advancements in pyramid construction over the ages. Overall, the trip was fantastic, and Mody's extensive knowledge and expertise added great value to the experience. I highly recommend this trip to anyone 👍👍👍 interested in ancient Egyptian history.

He was prepared for everything and the budget covered the driver for the whole day / food / drinks / entry tickets. It felt like he knows everybody and we could enter places we would not imagine. He is also a really good photographer and knows the best spots to take "instaable" pics. Highly recomanded! Thanks for everything! :)
