One of the best experiences of my life
My daughter & I went to Egypt in March of 2018. We had an absolutely amazing experience exploring Cairo, Saqqara & Dashur & learning all about its incredible history, all thanks to Radwa. She is the best guide I’ve ever had & I am so grateful that we had her as our guide to show us around. Not only was she so kind and SO professional, but she is also extremely knowledgeable about the vast history of Egypt. She taught us the most interesting facts & we learned so many things from her that we would’ve never known! She took us to places that people only dream of exploring...I can honestly say that it was probably one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Two woman traveling alone can be very scary, but she made us feel so safe & even taught us some of the do’s & don’ts to be safe in Cairo. She also speaks excellent English as well, which was a bonus. Radwa has such a kind & warm personality...we instantly made friends with her! I recommend all of my airline friends to choose her as quide while in Egypt, I promise- you will NOT regret it! We are planning on going back to Egypt again someday & exploring Luxor...and we only want Radwa to be our guide! She is the only guide we want & trust...Thank you again for an amazing tour, we will have these incredible memories for a lifetime!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your feedback and glad to hear that you have enjoyed your experience with us. We are looking forward to welcoming you again in Egypt.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Memphis, Sakkara & Dahshur Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Memphis, Sakkara & Dahshur Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $60 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 Memphis, Sakkara & Dahshur Experience 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 Memphis, Sakkara & Dahshur Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Memphis, Sakkara & Dahshur Experience?
+
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 Memphis, Sakkara & Dahshur Experience 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 Memphis, Sakkara & Dahshur Experience?
+
Around 1 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 Memphis, Sakkara & Dahshur Experience 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 Pyramids Sphinx Camel ATV Bike Shopping and Nile Dinner Cruise, Cairo 8 Hour Private Tour of Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum, Pyramids Sphinx and Grand Egyptian Museum Nile Felucca or Bazaar. 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.
