Great driver, great day, would do again
We chose the driver only option for this tour. Rashad, our driver, was on time, and very accommodating, in that we could choose the order of the places we visited. We were provided with a drink and a chocolate bar, which was nice. Rashad was a great driver and totally professional, and our tour went for the full eight hours. We enjoyed our day very much.

Review for the guider —- George
Unfortunately I don’t think that our guider George did a good job. During the tour he was consistently working on his cell phone. Not only almost no time to talk about the trip in the car on the way, but even at the destination spots, most time he only gave us very limited information than ask us to visit the places ourself while we saw a lot of guiders were with their tourists and explain a lot in the spots, for example, in Memphis. We feel very disappointed.

Great time
George was a wonderful tour guide, very knowledgeable. Vans can be a little better since the drive was long and the seats we not the most comfortable. But seamless experience, the guide was not out for tips and gave us a wonderful experience!

Self tour with family
Excellent way to visit Dashur, Memphis and Saqqara pyramids. Priori knowledge of the sites makes the experience much more valuablr. All went well with our driver.

The good: My driver was...
The good: My driver was very personable, flexible, and safe. To Improve: I found communication from the tour company about includes/excludes confusing, and not all of the includes listed on the voucher were provided. Also, I couldn't get in touch with the tour company until the morning of my tour.

Sakkara Pyramids & Memphis & Dahshur Pyramids: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Sakkara Pyramids & Memphis & Dahshur Pyramids cost?
+
Prices start at $2 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 Sakkara Pyramids & Memphis & Dahshur Pyramids 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 Sakkara Pyramids & Memphis & Dahshur Pyramids worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 16 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 Sakkara Pyramids & Memphis & Dahshur Pyramids?
+
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 Pyramids & Memphis & Dahshur Pyramids 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 Sakkara Pyramids & Memphis & Dahshur Pyramids?
+
Around 6 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 Sakkara Pyramids & Memphis & Dahshur Pyramids 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.
