Private tour of GEM, Saqqarah and Dahshour and Old Cairo
For three years I have been looking forward to the full opening of the EME. I didn’t want to get involved in a risky organization of this stay, so I turned to Sun Pyramids tours to see if they could organize my stay, namely my airport transfer hotel (for arrival and departure D and D4), one day for the visit of the GEM, another for the visit of the site of Saqqarah and Dahchour and, another, for the visit of old Cairo, having booked myself hotel and flights. The person who took over my case is named Hoda. We exchanged a lot via WhatsApp to finalize my program. Hoda was incredibly helpful (for example, I had answers to my questions at midnight last Sunday!) Everything was perfect, the car, the driver, the guide (francophone), respect for schedules, restaurants... As the hotel I had chosen was close to Sun Pyramids Tours, I went to visit them and was received like a VIP. Thank you Hoda for organizing this stay and your welcome. Of all the trips I have made, this one will be remembered as the best.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to provide us with detailed feedback about your recent experience with Sun Pyramids Tours. We are delighted to know that you enjoyed your trip to Egypt with Sun Pyramids Tours, and we look forward to welcoming you again, whether here in Egypt or at any of our global destinations.

Unique and personal experience!
Excellent tour! The guide, Ahmed, charming and loving your culture! They explained everything to us perfectly. With car with driver, adapting to our needs! From the agency we were allowed to increase the tour including a visit to the market, with another guide (Mohamed) who explained everything related to the most modern life and history of the city! Recommended 100%, I would definitely repeat with them if I returned to Egypt!

Trip to National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation plus Egyptian Museum
NMEC was a lovely museum - a modern bright wonderful space. The Hall of the Mummies is a definite see and the exhibits are all interpreted well. The Egyptian Museum has some wonderful artefacts, however, expect the Grand Egyptian Museum, when it opens will be far better. There is an exhibition of artefacts from Tutankamuns tomb and there are various ancient treasures well worth seeing.

Giza pyramids, Saqqara, Dashur, Egyptian Museum, National Museum
We actually did 2 tours with Sun Pyramid. The first was to the Giza pyramids, Saqqara, and Dashur. The second tour was the Egyptian Museum and the National Museum. Both times our guide was Mohammed Kafafy. The staff at Sun Pyramid Tours communicated well both before and after booking. All questions were answered in a timely fashion. We were met each day at the appointed time at our hotel. Our guide, Kafafy, was excellent! He was knowledgeable and clearly passionate about sharing as much as possible about the sites we visited and the objects in the museums. He made sure that we saw all the best things and that we knew the significance of those things. I would definitely recommend Sun Pyramid Tours, and Mohammed Kafafy in particular if you're looking for tours in and around Cairo.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for choosing Sun Pyramids Tours. It has been a pleasure to serve you during your stay in Egypt. We appreciate your review as it encourages us to do better in the next upcoming years. Looking forward to helping you more through your next journeys all around the world!

Egyptian National Museum and The Egyptian Museum Private Guided Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Egyptian National Museum and The Egyptian Museum Private Guided Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $126 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 Egyptian National Museum and The Egyptian Museum Private Guided Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Egyptian National Museum and The Egyptian Museum Private Guided Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 5 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 Egyptian National Museum and The Egyptian Museum Private Guided 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 Egyptian National Museum and The Egyptian Museum Private Guided Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Egyptian National Museum and The Egyptian Museum Private Guided Tour?
+
Around 2 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Egyptian National Museum and The Egyptian Museum Private Guided 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.
