Good tour with time management issues.
We booked this as a private tour of Giza, Sakkara and Memphis from Alexandra. We traveled with Mahmoud and his driver. We enjoyed talking with Mahmoud and he did his best to answer our many questions. The driver was professional and got us to the Pyramids and back without issue, which is great as Alexandra has the worst traffic I've ever seen. However, there were a couple of items that could have gone better and are worth noting for others that might book this tour. I had specifically booked this tour to see the Pyramids of Giza and Sphinx, Sakkara and Memphis. Originally, our ship was expected to dock at 8 am and we scheduled for a 9:30 departure. I enquired about closing schedules for the sights and was told we would not have a problem seeing all sights. Later, our ship changed arrival and we were able to schedule our tour departure for 8 am, so I thought all was good. The evening before the tour, Mahmoud texted me and said he would meet us at 8 am. The day of the tour, we waited at 8, but Mahmoud did not show until after 8:30. He was apologetic and had brought us some snacks and water for the trip. Very nice. On the way to Cairo, I again asked if we would be able to see all sights on my list. He said yes, no problem. Traffic was cooperating and we had no unusual delays on the way. We got to the Giza pyramid and he rushed us through to make sure we could make all sights (he said). Then he said we should go to a paper store. I asked if that would affect our schedule, he said nit would not. We were really not interested in the paper store so we spent maybe 20 minutes there. By now it was close to noon. He asked if we wanted to eat, and we said only if we would have plenty of time to see the other two sights. He said we were managing our time well, so we would be fine. He took us to a buffet that appeared to be set up mainly for tourists. We took maybe 30 minutes to eat and then went to Sakkara, which was further from Giza than I had realized. We walked around for about 30 minutes until about 3 pm. When we got back in the car, he asked what we wanted to do next and I said go to "Memphis". That's when he informed us that Memphis closed at 3. This was the only day we had, so I felt blindsided and was really frustrated that we were not told all along, especially since I asked before and during the tour. If we had known, we could have managed our time differently or spent more time at Sakkara, (where we rushed) and also spent more time at Giza, (where we rushed). Subsequently I heard from others that Memphis didn't close at 3 so I wonder if Mahmoud just needed to get back. All in all, the day went fine, but I'm still disappointed.

Bucket List Excursion Did Not Disappoint!
Wonderful service. Very communicative. Great little snacks. Comfortable and safe ride and driver. Dina was so knowledgeable and fun I loved her storytelling. We had limited time with the boat all aboard being shortened. Would recommend asking more questions about tipping and purchasing options with cash so we were better prepared. Still can’t believe we visited the pyramids and sphynx. Lovely buffet restaurant with authentic Egyptian cuisine very tasty lots of options and spaghetti for those less adventurous. If we get to come back for more adventure we would definitely book this group and Dina again. Thanks for helping me cross off a bucket list item. My heart is full.
Response from the operator: Thanks a lot dear for your great words . We are happy that your enjoyed your day with us !! Hope to see you again :)

Sakkara Memphis Tour with Nile Cruise Dinner from Alexandria Port: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Alexandria.
How much does Sakkara Memphis Tour with Nile Cruise Dinner from Alexandria Port cost?
+
Prices start at $142 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Alexandria 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 Tour with Nile Cruise Dinner from Alexandria Port take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Alexandria is not rushed.
Is Sakkara Memphis Tour with Nile Cruise Dinner from Alexandria Port worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Alexandria, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sakkara Memphis Tour with Nile Cruise Dinner from Alexandria Port?
+
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 Tour with Nile Cruise Dinner from Alexandria Port suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sakkara Memphis Tour with Nile Cruise Dinner from Alexandria Port?
+
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 Alexandria 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 Alexandria and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sakkara Memphis Tour with Nile Cruise Dinner from Alexandria Port 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 Alexandria 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 Alexandria?
+
On Outty we rank every Alexandria experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Alexandria Full Day Tour, Alexandria Full Day Trip, All inclusive private Giza pyramids,Sphinx & highlights of Cairo. 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 Alexandria?
+
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 Alexandria?
+
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.
