Sayed and Khairat - Pyramid tour
I cannot rate this tour enough. We had Sayed Mahmoud as our tour guide and Khairat as our driver. Sayed and Khairat were punctual at our pick up, were accomodating and friendly the whole trip and really made it enjoyable. We had plenty of time in each location to see each thing and Sayed gave us VIP treatment at the different locations. Sayed was very honest with us and did not pressure us to do anything we didn’t want to do. Sayed and Khairat were very kind and made me feel very safe and welcomed. Sayed got us entry to the sites promptly and avoided big crowds of people. I’m very happy with how the day went and can’t thank Sayed and Khairat enough for the tour.

Great tour!
They picked me up from my hotel and we went to Dashur to see the Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid. After spending some time there (you can actually go inside of them!), we went to Memphis, which is a little lovely place with some nice statues. You will have the opportunity to see the biggest Rameses II statue, which is kinda cool! Saqqara was the next stop, where you see the Step Pyramid and some cool tombs. The best of the tour was the guide Ahmed Tonsi and his driver. He is such an experienced man. I'm really happy because I could learn a lot about Egypt. 100% recommended!!

Tours from Cairo airport Giza Pyramids Memphis city Saqqara and Dahshur: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Tours from Cairo airport Giza Pyramids Memphis city Saqqara and Dahshur cost?
+
Prices start at $12 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 Tours from Cairo airport Giza Pyramids Memphis city Saqqara and Dahshur take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Tours from Cairo airport Giza Pyramids Memphis city Saqqara and Dahshur worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 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 Tours from Cairo airport Giza Pyramids Memphis city Saqqara and Dahshur?
+
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 Tours from Cairo airport Giza Pyramids Memphis city Saqqara and Dahshur suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tours from Cairo airport Giza Pyramids Memphis city Saqqara and Dahshur?
+
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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tours from Cairo airport Giza Pyramids Memphis city Saqqara and Dahshur 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.
