    It was great! Mahmoud...

    It was great! Mahmoud (tour guide) was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, considerate caring and a good photographer too! We couldn’t ask for more.

    Really interesting tour

    We just toured Sakkara but it was my choice as I had seen the other sitess. We went to the Sérapéum which was incredible. There is so much mystery surrounding the Serapeum because it was left unfinished. What purpose did the giant blocks serve, how were they moved in such tight quarters there, They are too big for sarcophagi. The guide Bakr was with Egypt Light travel was wonderful. Very attentive to details and well informed.

    Wonderful day with a wonderful guide

    We had an amazing day to the Pyramids of Giza, Memphis and Sakkara. The guide Bakr was wonderful and full of interesting stories about Ancient Egypt and the times of the pharaos. He made sure that all our needs were satisfied, if we needed to stop on the way to ATM or have some lunch he arranged everything for us and gave us a perfect experience! Camel ride? No problem, Bakr knows everyone around and will help you get a good deal. Highly recommended tour!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your opinion. Wish you good luck always

    Private Guided Tour of Sakkara, Memphis and Dahshur: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Guided Tour of Sakkara, Memphis and Dahshur 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 Private Guided Tour of Sakkara, Memphis and Dahshur take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Private Guided Tour of Sakkara, Memphis and Dahshur worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 6 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 Private Guided Tour of Sakkara, Memphis 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 Guided Tour of Sakkara, Memphis and Dahshur suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Guided Tour of Sakkara, Memphis and Dahshur?

    +

    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 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Guided Tour of Sakkara, Memphis 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 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.

    What is included in Private Guided Tour of Sakkara, Memphis and Dahshur?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; tour guide; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Entrance Tickets. Personal expenses. Tips for guide and driver. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
