Tour to Pyramids of Sakkara & Dahshur

Our tour guide Amir Alaa was such an experience guide with so much love for his country, the history and his work we felt like we were guided by a friend. We really had a great time exploring the pyramids, thank you once again Amir.

Visit to Cairo and sailing on the Nile: the tour was excellent, organized in detail. The boat was very beautiful and the staff was very attentive and helpful. The hotels in Cairo were stunning. The tour guides (I thank Adel who was with us for 5 days) accompanied us with detailed descriptions told with passion. The entire experience was very positive. Thanks to Monica, Zaccaria, and all their colleagues who attended to us with care and availability.

They made this trip so easy for us. Monica was at the airport to help us through customs and check us in at the airport. The accomodations were amazing. The sights were spectacular. Tarek was a great guide. I learned so much. One of the best vacations ever.

This is a great tour and you will meet some great people and great history. The area is close to a lot if great things to see and do. Makes fir a great center point to use to do other tours from also. Not a crazy city like Cairo with it's busseling traffic.

Great guide. Knows history, a true professor, became a friend. We were a family group of 14 and he was able to make ever site a great one

We are just back from 3 weeks in Egypt and Jordan that started with 5 days in Cairo. Mohamed, from the Giza office for TravelLocal set up a half day food tour in old Cairo for day 1. Islam was a fantastic guide. Tours to the Giza Pyramids, Great Sphinx and Sakkara happened on day 2. Day 3 had us visit the Grand Egyptian Museum (not to be missed) and Dahshur. On day 4 we went to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, the Saladin Citadel and the Mohamed Ali Mosque (epic). Day 5 had us visit the Sultan Hassan Mosque, the Al-Rifa'l Mosque, the Mosque Madrassa of Sultan Zahir Barquq, the northern walls and bab Zuweilias and Mosque al-Hakim. Our driver, Mustafa S was simply incredible. Cairo traffic is crazy! Mustafa managed everything with elegance and grace. He was always on time, magically appearing whenever we needed him and approached everything with safety in mind. He was the model of professionalism. Our guide for all these adventures was the incomparable Maha. Her knowledge was remarkable. She unpacked the Egypt experience with great story telling, enthusiasm and expertise. She was also amazing at finding great lunch spots that featured local cuisine. We would highly recommend TravelLocal for any trips to Cairo, and if you can request Maha and Mustafa to support your adventures you will not be disappointed!

This was one of several private tours during our 11-day Egypt trip booked through Memphis Tours. The service from both our tour guide and reservationist was excellent (5 stars), but we gave 4 stars overall because we experienced what felt like a bait-and-switch upon arrival and ended up paying more than necessary. Our reservationist, Nada, was wonderful—helpful, empathetic, and responsive throughout the planning process. Our guide, Nesreen, was outstanding—knowledgeable, patient, and even helped take group photos. She kept us on schedule without rushing, and when we ran short on time between Giza and Sakkara she arranged an authentic take-out lunch so we wouldn’t miss the tour. The van was clean and comfortable, and our driver made us feel safe, although Cairo traffic takes some getting used to. However, we were disappointed with the tour manager. He was professional and charming, but his focus seemed to be more on selling optional tours than on our best interests. We were told we couldn’t wear our traditional Chinese outfits at Giza due to “security restrictions,” only to later learn that this was not true. Based on that information, we agreed to a dinner with a pyramid view at $50 per person (five people)—a cost we would not have incurred had we known the restaurant was already included for lunch. This felt like a classic bait-and-switch and left a poor impression. For the price paid, we expected greater transparency. Tip: Double-check what is included before agreeing to optional add-ons—what sounds like an upgrade may already be part of your itinerary OR that it may be cheaper elsewhere (i.e., uber to a restaurant with a pyramid view).

Travelling to Egypt has always been a dream and having it accomplished with the support of Memphis Tours Brazil made all the difference. From the first contact in Brazil to the last moment at Cairo airport, we were accompanied with attention, professionalism and affection that made us feel safe and welcomed at every step. Memphis took care of every detail: domestic flights, transfers, amazing hotels, unforgettable tours, competent local guides and passionate about the country’s history. Everything worked with accuracy and excellence, exceeding our expectations. Special emphasis for the support before the trip, always attentive to our questions and needs. During the stay, the service was punctual and kind — a real differential that allowed us to live Egypt with peace and emotion. Our itinerary was carefully planned to balance culture, rest and discoveries, making the journey light, enriching and absolutely unforgettable. We recommend Memphis with all our heart. If you dream of experiencing Egypt with comfort, security and depth, Memphis is undoubtedly the right choice.

We did a Saqqara and Dagashur tour with a 5 days/4 nights private dahabaya cruise on the Nile. Everything was perfect. The boat NUUN was beyond expectations. The guide, Abdul was a fantastic discovery everyday from being an expect Egyptologist to a friendly person caring for each and everyone of us every day at every moment of the trip: as a family composed by a 18 months old toddler, teenagers, adults and seniors. It was all beyond expectations.

Me and a friend made a 12-day package through Egypt with Memphis. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by the Seif who gave us all the necessary assistance at the airport and speaks very well Portuguese. We went to Aswan by train and the Seif stayed with us until we boarded the train. We are not alone at any time. All the guides of the tours were great and punctual. Our passage through Egypt was perfect! You can trust Memphis and if you are lucky to be welcomed by the Seif, you will be very well served!!!! To all Memphis employees, my sincere gratitude for helping make our dream of knowing Egypt a reality!
