Walk around the pyramids in Cairo
The experience was unique and magical! We were able to enjoy a day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. around the pyramids of Giza, Memphis, and Saqqara, then a good meal with an all-you-can-eat buffet. Sarah is a great guide, she takes time for tourists and her knowledge is very enriching. I highly recommend!

Memphis, Gizeh et les pyramides : une journée exceptionnelle - An unforgettable day in Memphis and Giza with Sarah
Nous avons passé une journée absolument merveilleuse à visiter Memphis, Gizeh et les pyramides avec notre guide Sarah et c'était incroyable du début à la fin. Elle est d'une gentillesse sincère, incroyablement compétente et ne nous a jamais pressés. Elle a pris le temps de tout nous expliquer et de répondre à toutes nos questions, si bien que nous en sommes repartis en ayant appris bien plus que ce que nous imaginions. Le déjeuner était très bon également. Ce qui nous a le plus marqués, c'est la confiance que nous avons eue en elle. Sarah est parfaitement fiable et cela a rendu toute la journée détendue et agréable. Si vous visitez Le Caire, demandez-la ; : vous ne le regretterez pas. Merci Sarah Star ! (Guide francophone, arabophone et anglophone) Louisa et Karim —- We spent an absolutely wonderful day visiting Memphis, Giza and the Pyramids with our guide Sarah, and it was incredible from start to finish. She is genuinely kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and never rushed us. She took the time to explain everything and answer all our questions so we came away having learned so much more than we expected. Lunch was lovely too. What stood out most was how much we trusted her. Sarah is completely reliable, and that made the whole day relaxed and enjoyable. If you’re visiting Cairo, ask for her : you won’t regret it. Thank you, Sarah Star ! Louisa et Karim

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Saqqara, Memphis & Dahshur Pyramids Full-Day Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Saqqara, Memphis & Dahshur Pyramids Full-Day Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $40 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 & Dahshur Pyramids Full-Day Private Tour 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 Giza is not rushed.
Is Saqqara, Memphis & Dahshur Pyramids Full-Day Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 & Dahshur Pyramids Full-Day Private 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 Saqqara, Memphis & Dahshur Pyramids Full-Day Private Tour 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 Saqqara, Memphis & Dahshur Pyramids Full-Day Private Tour?
+
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 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Saqqara, Memphis & Dahshur Pyramids Full-Day Private 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 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.
