Excellent half day tour to Ancient Egyptian Sites of Interest
Very good tour, informative and friendly tour guide and driver. Air Conditioned vehicle organised, arrive early with communication from driver prior to collection. Took us to local stores and Papyrus Museum, before driving through to Saqaara Pyramids, then to Memphis and finally Dashour. Experienced driver took us most direct routes which was appreciated. Not to other travellers that some of the roads are uneven and bumpy. Entrance fees to the various pyramids are charged at the entrances and vary between 400 Egyptian Pounds and 800 EGP. Thank you to Rafaat for a memorable day.

Best Sakkara trip ever with super guide!
We gave just had the most amazing tour guided by kyrllos Eskandar Driver name Shady. From pick up to drop off I couldn’t fault anything. We have been blown away by what we have seen and Kyrllos is one of the best guides we’ve had. We weren’t rushed at all, we had fun and learnt Soooo much 🇪🇬🫶🏻He is so passionate about Egyptian history. He has also written two books which I’m keen to get as well! One of the best days we will have in our lives and that has a lot to do with our fab guide! Thank you 🙏 Best bits… all but probably Sakkara My daughter is 18 and thoroughly enjoyed herself.

Private Half-Day Tour: Exceptional Experience with Ehab and Magdey
I was fortunate to have a private tour, which made the experience even more special. As soon as I booked, the tour company reached out to me via WhatsApp. When I requested a time change, they promptly connected me with Ehab, the tour guide. The driver, Magdey, picked me up first, and then we collected Ehab before heading out to the more distant pyramids. The entire experience was excellent, thanks to the politeness and hospitality of my Egyptian guide and driver. They prioritized the sites I was most interested in and adjusted the schedule to accommodate my need to catch a flight to Doha later that afternoon. I highly recommend the half-day tour to Memphis, Saqqara, and Dahshur with Magdey and Ehab. It was an unforgettable experience!

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Day Tour to Memphis, Sakkara, and Dahshur: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Private Day Tour to Memphis, Sakkara, and Dahshur cost?
+
Prices start at $10 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 Day Tour to Memphis, Sakkara, and Dahshur 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 Private Day Tour to Memphis, Sakkara, and Dahshur worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 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 Day Tour to Memphis, Sakkara, and Dahshur?
+
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 Day Tour to Memphis, Sakkara, and Dahshur 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 Private Day Tour to Memphis, Sakkara, and Dahshur?
+
Around 4 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 Private Day Tour to Memphis, Sakkara, and Dahshur 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.
