Great trip to Saqqara and Dahshur
Roaa was a knowledgeable and friendly guide for the half day. She contacted us the day before and turned up exactly on time. We were very glad that we didn’t have to worry about getting taxis, what to look or where to go at so it was relaxed as well as really interesting. These attractions are more out of the way and less organised than Giza or the GEM so happy we had a car and guide. If you’re short of time and been to the GEM then Memphis is the one to miss out on.

Saqqara and Dahshur
Guide contacted us the day before and picked us up from our hotel on time. We had been to Giza / Citadel / GEM by ourselves but really happy that we had a tour and driver as these locations are more remote, probably very sketchy with uber and much harder to get a real understanding without a guide. Our guide, Roaa was very knowledgeable, friendly and cheerfully answered my many questions. Also great having a private tour as the coach tours are large for the tombs and move slowly given the multiple sites. Very relaxed, informative and thoroughly recommend.

Yemani is the best!!
Yemani was the best guide! Very knowledgeable and accommodating. He made sure our experience was personalized and fun at every stop. Would highly recommend booking him as your guide!

Unique experience. Pyramids and more!
What a great day. A nice alternative to the Grand pyramids of Giza. We started the tour at Saqqara, it was lovely to hear from my guide Yemani all about the history, especially about the running around the area. I was able to enter some of pyramids and see the amazing hieroglyphics. Next stop, Dashur. Now this was a real experience entering the pyramids, complete with bats! I'll be super fit after this experience. We saw Rameses II at Memphis, then off gor a bit of shopping and a lovely buffet for lunch. Yemeni was very knowledgeable and passionate. Being a solo traveller he took lots of photos to help me document my day, together with Paddington my travel companion! I would thoroughly recommend this trip!

Saqqara Memphis and Dahshur Adventure with Hidden Tombs: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Saqqara Memphis and Dahshur Adventure with Hidden Tombs cost?
+
Prices start at $65 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 Saqqara Memphis and Dahshur Adventure with Hidden Tombs take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Saqqara Memphis and Dahshur Adventure with Hidden Tombs worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 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 Saqqara Memphis and Dahshur Adventure with Hidden Tombs?
+
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 Saqqara Memphis and Dahshur Adventure with Hidden Tombs suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Saqqara Memphis and Dahshur Adventure with Hidden Tombs?
+
Around 8 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Saqqara Memphis and Dahshur Adventure with Hidden Tombs 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.
