Red and Bent Pyramids
Our guide Osama was so friendly and knowledgeable and was happy for our lovely driver Mudy to take us wherever we wanted to go. A very reasonably priced adventure. Thank you Viator and Ego tours.

Wonderful trip!
Aladdin was a thorough and awesome tour guide. He took the time to answer any questions we had and even added a little fun trivia. There was never a dull moment with him and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour and learned so much.

それぞれの場所が絶対に車がいるレベルで離れているので、こちらのツアーを利用して良かったです。写真を撮ってくれたり、チケットを買うのもサポートしてくださりました。1つ星を減らしたのは、レビューを強要されることです。絶対に今ここで書くようにと圧をかけられ、正直疲れているので不快でした。Emo tours社の他のツアーにも参加しましたが、そちらでもその場でのレビューを強要されたので、会社ぐるみで組織的に行なっているようです。親切なスタッフに素晴らしいツアーなので、強要しなくても良い評価を得られると思います。 Each location is quite far apart and definitely requires a car, so I’m glad we chose this tour. They helped us take photos and supported us with buying tickets as well. The reason I deducted one star is because we were pressured to write a review. We were strongly urged to write it on the spot, and to be honest, we were tired and felt uncomfortable. We also joined other tours operated by Emo Tours, and we were asked to write a review immediately there as well, so it seems to be something the company systematically encourages. The staff were kind and the tour itself was wonderful, so I believe they would receive good reviews even without pressuring customers.

A very good half of visits in the less crowded sites around Cairo
Our half day tour included visitors of the sites of Saqqarah, Dahshur and Memphis. We were accompanied by a guide and a driver, who didn't try to sell us anything or change the program in any way. Our guide was knowledgeable and had a good command of English. The driver was one of the best we met in Egypt.

Dahshur Pyramid Memphis And Sakkara Half Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Dahshur Pyramid Memphis And Sakkara Half Day Tour 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 Giza usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dahshur Pyramid Memphis And Sakkara Half Day Tour 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 Giza is not rushed.
Is Dahshur Pyramid Memphis And Sakkara Half Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 46 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Giza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dahshur Pyramid Memphis And Sakkara Half Day 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 Dahshur Pyramid Memphis And Sakkara Half Day Tour 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 Dahshur Pyramid Memphis And Sakkara Half Day Tour?
+
Around 16 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 Giza 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 Giza and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dahshur Pyramid Memphis And Sakkara Half Day 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 Giza 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 Giza?
+
On Outty we rank every Giza experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel, ATV Bike, Shopping & Dinner Cruise, ViP Private Tour Giza Pyramids,camel ride , inside 3rd Pyramid, Giza Pyramids VIP Private Tour ATV Camel Inside Pyramid & Lunch. 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 Giza?
+
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 Giza?
+
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.
