Saqqara with Maged

Maged picked me up in the morning in Cairo and went to saqqara together. He’s so easy to talk to and is always happy and in a good mood. The price is THE BEST I found in Egypt and it was so easy to connect with him. As a female solo traveler he made me feel 100% comfortable. 100/100 would recommend to anyone.

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this incredible 100/100 review! It was a true pleasure having you with Ramses Egypt on your journey to Saqqara. We take huge pride in being the top choice for female solo travelers in Egypt. Safety, comfort, and creating a 'home away from home' atmosphere are our core priorities. I’m thrilled to hear that Maged’s positive energy made you feel 100% comfortable—he is indeed one of our star guides! At Ramses Egypt, we are committed to providing a high-quality private tour with the best value for money in Cairo. Knowing that you found it easy to connect with us makes all the difference. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure. Safe travels

Best of Cairo: Private Pyramids, Sphinx, Saqqara & Memphis Tour: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.

How much does Best of Cairo: Private Pyramids, Sphinx, Saqqara & Memphis Tour cost?

+

Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Best of Cairo: Private Pyramids, Sphinx, Saqqara & Memphis Tour take?

+

Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cairo is not rushed.

Is Best of Cairo: Private Pyramids, Sphinx, Saqqara & Memphis Tour worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Best of Cairo: Private Pyramids, Sphinx, Saqqara & Memphis Tour?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Best of Cairo: Private Pyramids, Sphinx, Saqqara & Memphis Tour suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 9-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Best of Cairo: Private Pyramids, Sphinx, Saqqara & Memphis Tour?

+

Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cairo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cairo and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Best of Cairo: Private Pyramids, Sphinx, Saqqara & Memphis Tour start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cairo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Cairo?

+

On Outty we rank every Cairo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-in-One Giza Tour, inside Pyramid, sphinx, Camel ride & lunch, VIP Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx Tour –Inside the Pyramids&More, Best of Cairo Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Museum Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Cairo?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Cairo?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
