Excellent service and a wonderful driver!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Excellent service and a wonderful driver!** We had a fantastic experience with Emo Tours Egypt on October 17, 2026! We booked a private minivan for five people at very short notice, and they responded immediately and arranged everything quickly. The vehicle was modern, spotless and very comfortable, and the price was extremely reasonable. Our driver, Ahmed, arrived exactly on time at 11:00 a.m. and took us to Saqqara, Dahshur and Memphis. He was absolutely lovely — friendly, helpful and attentive throughout the day. He even bought us water and was especially kind to my husband, who has mobility difficulties, helping him get in and out of the vehicle and assisting him when walking. We never felt rushed, even though the trip lasted longer than the originally planned six hours. Excellent value for money and wonderful service from beginning to end. Highly recommended!

Great day out
Highly recommend this tour. We had a fantastic day with a knowledge guide being shown the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur. Although we booked the group tour there were only 3 participants. The tour was well paced and the sites were not crowded at all. The guide also took some great photos for us.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-Day Tour to Saqqara, Dahshur & Memphis: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Full-Day Tour to Saqqara, Dahshur & Memphis cost?
+
Prices start at $8 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 Full-Day Tour to Saqqara, Dahshur & Memphis 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 Full-Day Tour to Saqqara, Dahshur & Memphis worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 121 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 Full-Day Tour to Saqqara, Dahshur & Memphis?
+
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 Full-Day Tour to Saqqara, Dahshur & Memphis 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 Full-Day Tour to Saqqara, Dahshur & Memphis?
+
Around 42 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 Full-Day Tour to Saqqara, Dahshur & Memphis 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.
