    A very enjoyable day

    We had a brilliant day on a private tour to the pyramids at Saqqara and Dashir. Pierre was an excellent guide - prompt, good communication and very informative. We felt we learned a lot and we were not rushed. Learning more about the earliest pyramids was amazing- and entering the pyramids themselves. Pierre and our driver were very helpful and made sure we found our way to our new accommodation on the drop off. Would definitely recommend!

    Fantastic tour guide

    We had an absolutely fantastic tour with Mohamed Osman at the Pyramids of Giza and Saqqara. Honestly, we can confidently say that this was the best tour and one of the greatest experiences we had during our time in Egypt. Mohamed is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also deeply passionate about ancient Egyptian history. What made the experience so exceptional was the way he connected different dynasties, rulers, pyramids, and historical events throughout the day. His explanations never felt like a memorized script — you could genuinely feel that he truly understands and loves his field of expertise. He gave us an amazing insight into ancient Egypt and made the entire history feel alive and interconnected. At the same time, you could clearly feel how proud he is of his country, heritage, and history, which made the experience even more authentic and memorable. On top of that, his English is absolutely flawless and extremely easy to follow. He speaks very clearly with a natural American accent, which made it effortless to fully focus on the history and explanations without ever struggling to understand anything. Overall, this experience was far beyond our expectations, and we can highly recommend Mohamed Osman to anyone visiting Cairo — whether for Giza, Saqqara, the Grand Egyptian Museum, or other historical tours.

    Eygpt Museum

    Mohammed was an amazingly knowledgeable & engaging guide. He took us around the museum showing us items & explaining the background in a way that we would never have achieved by ourselves.

    Ride to Saqqara

    If you have a couple days in Cairo this is your chance to see more then just GEM and Giza necropolis. I definitely recommend to get a guide with a transfer to Saqqara and Memphis. Less tourists, easier to explore then Giza necropolis, car parkings are near the pyramids, museums and tombs. It was a memorable trip full of ancient Egyptian religion, philosophy, culture and mystery of architectural and engineering decisions. Entrance tickets and a lunch are included in a price of a tour. Tickets inside the buildings such as Serapeum, Saqqara pyramid ect. are extra paid. We decided to choose a medium price private tour with entrance tickets only included. You can freely ask a guide about everything, take your time to the things you want to and not to be rushed by the group. However the tour is not overpriced because of tickets you don’t need. You pay only for that things that you interested in. A guide will tell the best set of extras and correct the plan of a tour including your wishes. There is nothing to say about the place. You should come and see it by yourself. It’s impressive. Also the guide kindly ask you to visit the place of shopping he recommend after the tour. The stuff is very polite and friendly. We bought some souvenirs, spice and tea. Do not be scared of the first high price and haggle if you really need the thing. If you try to find a reason to say “No” it means that you are in the negotiation and the stuff will ask you again trying to offer a better price. Some people find it annoying but it’s just a part of the Egyptian marketing. If you don’t need it just say it to the seller strictly. I do not like to haggle and even for me it was not stressful. Hope you’ll enjoy the tour as we did. A huge thank to our guide Ahmed and a driver for a wonderful and safety ride.

    Sakkara, Memphis & Dahshur Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Sakkara, Memphis & Dahshur Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $35 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 Sakkara, Memphis & Dahshur Tour 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 Giza is not rushed.

    Is Sakkara, Memphis & Dahshur Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 51 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 Sakkara, Memphis & Dahshur Tour?

    +

    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 Sakkara, Memphis & Dahshur Tour 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 Sakkara, Memphis & Dahshur Tour?

    +

    Around 18 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sakkara, Memphis & Dahshur Tour 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.
