Amazing experience
We spent a beautiful day with our guide Abdul who brought us to wonderful Places such as Saqqara, Dashur and Menfis. Abdul has been very kind and friendly and we want to thank him for the best day we spent in Egypt. He also brought us to see many local shops which have shown a huge variety of spices and papyrus. He took us pictures in front of the most famous attractions and we ate together the traditional koshary. Thanks for everything!!

No news from SK tour on the day of the excursion
If I had the choice, I would not have put a star because SK tour did not pick us up at the meeting point agreed in the booking. We tried to reach him by phone, several times, to no avail. We were therefore unable to make the excursion, despite the payment already made. I do not recommend this agency.

Sights were amazing, whole tour felt...
<p>Sights were amazing, whole tour felt very rushed as It was only around 5 hours. Only got a photo of the step pyramid from the car and didn't even get to go up to the grand entrance and other moments around it.</p>

Very good trip. Only thing I would say...
<p>Very good trip. Only thing I would say were to cut out all the factory and shop stops as it wastes time from exploring the sites.</p>

Private Dahshur and Memphis and Saqqara Day Tour from Cairo with Private Tour Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Private Dahshur and Memphis and Saqqara Day Tour from Cairo with Private Tour Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $45 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 Private Dahshur and Memphis and Saqqara Day Tour from Cairo with Private Tour Guide 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 Private Dahshur and Memphis and Saqqara Day Tour from Cairo with Private Tour Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 6 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 Private Dahshur and Memphis and Saqqara Day Tour from Cairo with Private Tour Guide?
+
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 Private Dahshur and Memphis and Saqqara Day Tour from Cairo with Private Tour Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Dahshur and Memphis and Saqqara Day Tour from Cairo with Private Tour Guide?
+
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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Dahshur and Memphis and Saqqara Day Tour from Cairo with Private Tour Guide 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.
