Great experience and learned a lot
Hazem was a great guide and we really learned a lot and saw a lot. He was very knowledgeable and planned a good route for us and gave us a lot of options for things to do. Driver was great as well and car had good AC. Would definitely recommend this tour

Informative - well care driver
Mohammed was very puctual to pick up us at the hotel. He was no rush or pushed us, just informed the time and let fully enjoyed the pyramids and tombs. He introduced many Egyptian culture and related history of the visited sites in Arabic. (Use translator app) Bery recommended him.
via Viator
Excellent tour and guide
The older pyramids are more interesting and less crowded than the major pyramids. Plus there is no fee to go inside. We saw the red, bent and step pyramids which were very nice to visit. Memphis is not worth the entrance fee so I would not go unless you have a Cairo pass. Would recommend a guide as the driver only does not speak English.

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cairo Day Tour to Memphis Sakkara & Dahshur Pyramids: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Cairo Day Tour to Memphis Sakkara & Dahshur Pyramids cost?
+
Prices start at $15 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 Cairo Day Tour to Memphis Sakkara & Dahshur Pyramids take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Cairo Day Tour to Memphis Sakkara & Dahshur Pyramids worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 79 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 Cairo Day Tour to Memphis Sakkara & Dahshur Pyramids?
+
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 Cairo Day Tour to Memphis Sakkara & Dahshur Pyramids suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cairo Day Tour to Memphis Sakkara & Dahshur Pyramids?
+
Around 28 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cairo Day Tour to Memphis Sakkara & Dahshur Pyramids 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, Giza Pyramids all inclusive,Sphinx,lunch,Camel,insid pyramid. 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.
