Giza Pyramids, Sakkara and Memphis Day Tour

The trip was well planned. We started early with the pyramids to avoid the rush hours and completed Saqqara and Memphis in the afternoon at a relaxed pace. The trip was made exceptional because of our Egyptologist, Mr Sherif. He is remarkably knowledgeable and was able to answer all our queries. He gave us enough time at each attraction- we did not feel rushed at all. His recommendations were great for meals and stops and many times, he went out of his way to help us. This trip was made memorable by Viator and Mr. Sherif! Highly recommend it!

We stayed two full days with our guide Yasser (for Felice friends) and got to visit all the main monuments. Yasser was very helpful and participatory. He understood our needs as we were traveling with 4 children from 7 to 10 years. It allowed us to delve deeper into the topics that interested us most and be more resolute about those that interested us least. Definitely a very prepared guide. It allowed us to immerse ourselves in the atmosphere and civilization of ancient Egypt in just two days. It was also very kind to offer us all the amenities they needed (juices, water...) as well as recommending places to eat. Agency recommended and even more recommended guide. Very well also transport with their comfortable and air-conditioned van (essential). Great Yasser the last Pharaoh!!

We had a wonderful experience, traveling with friends and with our guide Atef we visited and experienced all the main sites in the Cairo area. Recommended agency for seriousness and experience.

My tour didn't include the pyramids but we had a great time at Memphis and Saqqara. Khalefa was really nice, he gave us very thorough explanations about everything we visited and he adapted the tour to our needs, since we were in a tight schedule to get to the airport afterwards. Overall, a great experience, very recommended!

Visited Sakkara on the last day of my tour. Loved the energy that Khalefa brought! Took care of us, gave us plenty of new knowledge regarding Egypt now and in the past, and even bought us lunch! Has a sense of humour too. Would highly recommend :)

Ibrahim goes out of his way to ensure that your trip is well-organised and that you experience the best his wonderful country has to offer. He is knowledgeable, friendly and has a great sense of humor. The personal touch he brings to each member of the group is phenomenal, leaving you with lots of memorable moments in addition to the sights and sounds of Egypt

I really enjoyed the trip. Ibrahim was very knowledgable, really lovely and friendly and could answer all our questions. He really took care of the group and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best trip.

I cannot recommend this tour enough! We had Ibrahim as our guide and not only was he extremely knowledgeable and passionate he was very sensitive to the needs of our group. We were taken to the sites early to avoid the crowds and his understanding of Egyptology was fascinating. He has many contacts who care for both locals and tourists. I did not get the impression that this was a tour to ‘fill the pockets’. If you want an honest guide who is passionate about his country and is welcoming of all people then this is for you. So much to see in so little time- but it’s worth it!

We were referred to Ibrahim's tour company through a friend, and I'm so glad we found his team! Our first tour with Egypt Tours Gate was in Cairo for the Giza Pyramids, Sakkara Pyramids, and Memphis with Khalid (aka "Elvis" - he's not afraid to sing!). It was a full day of sight-seeing, and we had a super clean and well-airconed van to ourselves for the day. Elvis' knowledge of the sites is second to none; if you can request him for your tour, definitely do! After a fantastic tour in Cairo, we traveled down to Luxor, where Ibrahim arranged a few tour components for us, including: Queen Hatshepsut's Temple, multiple stops in the Valley of the Kings (3 included tombs + 3 extras that we requested; Seti I is a must), and a sunrise hot air balloon tour over the valley. The hot air balloon ride was spectacular at that point in the day, and I would highly recommend everyone do it. It's worth getting up early for, I promise :) We then traveled (by car) to Aswan and stopped to visit the temples at Kom Ombo and Edfu. For both Luxor and the temples on the way to Aswan, we had a guide named Mamdouh who was also very knowledgable. The main advantage of booking with Egypt tours gate is that you can customize your itinerary (group vs. private tours, sites you want to skip/include), and you know that your guides are going to be trained professionals who *love* to share their knowledge of Egypt. In addition to all of the praise above, I just want to give a quick shoutout to Ibrahim who started this company right after COVID and has already grown it to be one of the most reputable tour providers in Egypt (for good reason!). We got to meet him over hookah at a cafe in Luxor, and he is genuinely the nicest human. Not to mention, he has the best restaurant recs for all of the places you may go in Egypt! We hope to be back and to use Egypt Tours Gate for the places we didn't get to see this time, like Siwa, Alexandria, and maybe Marsa Alam.

The tours were amazing and our tour guide was top notch! Ibrahim was so knowledgeable and took the time to explain the history of each place we visited! If you are looking for a tour guide Ibrahim is your person!! We had an all ladies group and we always felt safe and secure with him. Best Experience ever!!!
