Saqqara totaled 1.5 hours and Memphis 30 minutes. Dahshur didn't go inside, so the time allocation was about 10 minutes each for the photo shoot at the Red Pyramid, the Refractive Pyramid. I was offered the promised papyrus, perfume and carpets, but I was not forced to, and I refused. I came back to the hotel after noon, so I didn't need lunch. I forgot the driver's name, but his fluency in English kept me entertained throughout. The price is also very reasonable, so this is a recommended activity.
I was worried because it was cheap, but the drivers and guides who showed up before the meeting time and the cars that I took took took took took took took took a very good one, and they were very good with me. Even at the local tourist spots, I was greeted by people I knew and felt very protected by Uefa. It was too hot and it was getting harder and harder to see the sights in Idlib, so they cut it out early and that helped. I was grateful for taking photoshoots in various places.
We had a good tour with Youseff. He was informative & friendly. However the visit to Memphis open-air museum was a bit rushed. Wish we could have a bit more time there.
