Great Mego Tours and Amazing Guide Ahmed
Mego Tours offered us a full day tour with a private driver and private guide. I even thought it was a group tour but finally this tour was excellent and prive for us as couple. Ahmed was our amazing guide who was on time waiting for us at the reception. He was very knowledgeable and shared the history and insights of the pyramids, Sphinx, etc. He went above and beyond by bringing us to additional places like the papyrus where we got great discount, bought Egyptian fruits I wanted to eat, etc. He is a great photographer and took great photos of us. He recommended what add ons that makes sense and we did the camel ride and enter the step pyramids. What a lovely and amazing day we spent touring with Ahmed. We extremely highly recommend Mego Tours and I would suggest asking to have Ahmed as your guide.

Nice day trip to the Pyramids and Saqqara
We had a beautiful day trip to the Pyramids and Sphinx in Gizeh and to the Saqqara Step Pyramid as well as Memphis. Our guide Amira was lovely and super helpful in guiding us and organizing everything! She had all the information on old Egypt and answered every question. Our driver Abdul had a comfortable air conditioned car and drove very safely. We got picked up at our hotel in the morning and returned in the afternoon. All in all a very nice experience!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Guided Tour Saqqara ,Memphis ,Giza pyramids and Sphinx: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Private Guided Tour Saqqara ,Memphis ,Giza pyramids and Sphinx cost?
+
Prices start at $9 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 Guided Tour Saqqara ,Memphis ,Giza pyramids and Sphinx 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 Guided Tour Saqqara ,Memphis ,Giza pyramids and Sphinx worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 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 Guided Tour Saqqara ,Memphis ,Giza pyramids and Sphinx?
+
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 Saqqara ,Memphis ,Giza pyramids and Sphinx 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 Guided Tour Saqqara ,Memphis ,Giza pyramids and Sphinx?
+
Around 5 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 Guided Tour Saqqara ,Memphis ,Giza pyramids and Sphinx 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.
