Amazing trip to Saqqara and Dahshur
Our tour to Saqqara and Dahshur (we chose to skip Memphis) was absolutely fantastic. A totally different experience from the Pyramids at Giza, which we saw the day before. Our guide, Alaa, was so knowledgeable and full of energy. Her explanations were incredibly detailed and she really helped to bring the sites to life - a massive benefit of having a fully qualified Egyptologist tour guide with you. Definitely make sure to go to Dahshur and enter the Red Pyramid - it's a real adventure! Apart from the historical sites, a cool thing about this trip is that you get a glimpse of the 'real' rural Egypt outside of Cairo. The palm forests are unforgettable!
Response from the operator: Dear Mr. George, We’re so glad to hear you had such a fantastic experience exploring Saqqara pyramid and Dahshur pyramids! These incredible sites offer a completely different perspective on Egypt’s pyramids compared to the famous Pyramids of Giza, and they’re truly special for anyone interested in Ancient Egyptian history. It’s wonderful to know that Alaa’s knowledge and enthusiasm helped bring the sites to life. Having a professional Egyptologist guide can make a huge difference when visiting places like the amazing Red Pyramid and the historic necropolis of Saqqara, where some of the earliest pyramids in Egyptian civilization were built. You’re absolutely right about the journey as well—the landscapes around Dahshur give visitors a rare glimpse of rural Egypt just outside Cairo, with its beautiful palm groves and peaceful scenery. Experiences like this make Egypt tours truly unforgettable.

Amazing trip for our 10 year old
Great site visit and amazing guide (Aala) to give our ten year old context about what we were seeing. Make sure to have lunch plans!

Go Luxor - truly exceptional service
We used Go Luxor to book us an entire vacation over Christmas - this was one of the tours. Incredible company to work with - Mike is very very responsive and makes sure that everything is on track. Alaa, our guide for this tour, also for Giza and GEM was excellent. The quality of service was exceptional. I had done my research and had reached out to multiple companies before settling on Go Luxor - I called personal references (all of them were glowing - now I know why). Would be happy to answer any questions if you want to drop me a DM on TA. If you are considering a trip to Egypt, Go Luxor should be on your shortlist of companies to talk to.

Best tour company ever
I reached out to go Luxor tour company five days before my trip and they were able to accommodate me fully. Michael was so responsive over WhatsApp and had everything set for us, including our last-minute changes. Our assigned tour guide Aya and driver Mena were incredible and so informative. Aya explained everything thoroughly and took us to all the sites we wanted to see. She was so kind and even took so many photos for us without us even asking. we spent three days going around Giza, Cairo, Alexandria. Our Alexandria trip was a last-minute add-on and they were able to show us around. They met us promptly at our hotel every morning with the biggest smiles. The car was clean with functioning air con. Aya even brought us date cookies when we mentioned we liked dates! I am so glad we started in the morning at the suggested time, even if it was 7:30 AM, because we truly got to see everything before places got extremely crowded. We barely had to wait in any lines and Aya arranged everything for us and as soon as we heard her, “let’s go” we knew it was time to explore. when we come back to Egypt, we know we will be using the same tour company.

Unforgettable experience & Great service!
We had a fantastic experience with Go Luxor Tours. We've taken great memories from Cairo and Luxor. Well informed guides and very punctual drivers. Special shoutout to Mike who's helped us all the way through from landing in Cairo to departing back to London. He's taken care of all our itinerary and made it a very relaxed and enjoyable holiday. We would highly recommend Go Luxor Tours.
Response from the operator: Dear Mr. Selva, thank you for your great review! We truly appreciate the time you took to rate our service. It was a pleasure assisting you with your Egypt holiday—tailoring itineraries is our expertise, and we love creating seamless and unforgettable experiences for our guests. We are happy we were able to cover all the sites you wished to see in Luxor and Cairo, ensuring you experienced Egypt’s highlights, including the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, Hatshepsut Temple, the Giza Pyramids and more! It was also wonderful to hear that you and your son loved the day trip to Fayoum! We were happy to arrange an activity that was both fun and light on history, just as you requested. Your kind recommendation means a lot to us, and we truly appreciate it.

Dahshur Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara Pyramid Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Dahshur Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara Pyramid Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $61 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 Dahshur Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara Pyramid Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Dahshur Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara Pyramid Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dahshur Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara Pyramid Day Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Dahshur Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara Pyramid Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Dahshur Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara Pyramid Day Tour?
+
Around 4 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dahshur Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara Pyramid 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 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.
