    Great Tour

    Our guide - Hassan Karem and driver - Mahmoud Khalid were excellent. Hassan was very knowledgable and gave all the history for the pyramids in Memphis Sakkara and Dahshur. Whilst this was only a half day tour, Hassan offered to take us to the old Cairo museum so we could see the mummies. Whilst we had to pay to get in which was expected, he provided his input whilst there free of charge and even helped us get an Uber so we could get back to our hotel once we'd been to the museum. Safe to say he went above and beyond what a lot of guides would do and we were very grateful that we got him as a guide on this and other tours we had arranged. The visit to Memphis Sakkara and Dahshur was very worthwhile.

    Expert knowledge and very informative.

    Mohammed and Mohammed were fantastic. Plenty of knowledge and experience. Made us feel fully informed. Also loved the space given every so often to do our own thing - especially handy for photos. Mohammed was also great at taking pictures.

    Excellent tour!

    I'm so glad I booked this tour, the whole process from booking and coordination until dropoff was hassle-free! First of all, I was in a bit of a time crunch so I mentioned that I cannot handle any delays, and as discussed pickup was on time. Pickup and dropoff is available from your hotel, which is really convenient! I'm especially thankful for Ahmed, my driver, who was friendly and flexible enough to fit my needs and interests. He also knew about the history and shared interesting facts along the journey. It was good to have someone to drive you around, I'm not new to solo traveling but I see now that it would have been difficult to find my way back to Cairo if I had just relied on Ubers. Towards the end of the tour we really bonded and he was even telling me about his family :)) <3 p.s: i see in some reviews that they were FORCED to visit shops and restaurants, but this was not the case for me. I simply said that I'm not interested.

    A Must See !

    Highly recommend. Hasim was an incredible guide. An archaeologist and scholar, he knows his information first hand. Both he, and Mohamet, the driver, made this a most memorable exploration of Egyptian history and exploration.

    Half Day Tour To Memphis Sakkara And Dahshur Pyramids: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.

    How much does Half Day Tour To Memphis Sakkara And 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 Giza usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Half Day Tour To Memphis Sakkara And 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 Giza is not rushed.

    Is Half Day Tour To Memphis Sakkara And Dahshur Pyramids worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 604 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Giza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Half Day Tour To Memphis Sakkara And 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 Half Day Tour To Memphis Sakkara And 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 Half Day Tour To Memphis Sakkara And Dahshur Pyramids?

    +

    Around 211 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 Half Day Tour To Memphis Sakkara And 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 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.
