Another wonderful experience with Egypt Wonders Tours
I traveled for the second time with Egypt Winders Tours and they impressed me again. I travelled from Dubai to Cairo for a 2 day tour with a friend of mine and didn't have any plans clearly set for the fact that I am regular visitor to Cairo, and since I tried EWT 2 years ago, I just sent them a message to help arranging a tour to some remote sites that we didn't see before, and they suggested Dahshure and old Cairo sites, I wasn't sure it would be pleasant as our first visit was when we were taken by the awe of the Great Pyramids, but thanks to Egypt Wonders Tours and their super guides who have this passionate attitude about Egypt's history. Once we arrived Cairo, we were met by Mohamed who was extremely welcoming and easy to talk to, despite the fact that we visit Egypt frequently, but he introduced the city in the best manner and told us all about what we can do and what we expect. The following day we met our guide Mahmoud who was very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional, we saw a different Egypt this time through the different sites we visited. Thank you Egypt Wonders Tours and thank you Mahmoud.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahshure Day Tour from Cairo or Giza: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahshure Day Tour from Cairo or Giza cost?
+
Prices start at $49 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 Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahshure Day Tour from Cairo or Giza 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 Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahshure Day Tour from Cairo or Giza worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahshure Day Tour from Cairo or Giza?
+
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 Dahshure Day Tour from Cairo or Giza suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahshure Day Tour from Cairo or Giza?
+
Around 1 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 Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahshure Day Tour from Cairo or Giza 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 ViP Private Tour Giza Pyramids,camel ride , inside 3rd Pyramid, Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel, ATV Bike, Shopping & Dinner Cruise, 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.
