    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable day exploring Ancient Egypt

    We had an amazing day on our VIP Private Day Tour of Memphis, Saqqara Pyramids and Dahshur. It was incredible to explore these ancient sites, learn about Egypt’s fascinating history and see some of the oldest pyramids in the world up close. Simon, our guide, was fantastic! She was knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about Egyptian history, bringing the ancient sites to life and making the day even more special. She also took some absolutely amazing photos of us, capturing memories we’ll treasure forever! 📸 Sheddi, our driver, was equally brilliant, navigating the roads confidently and making sure we got around safely and comfortably throughout the day. Having a private tour made the experience feel personal and relaxed, allowing us to really appreciate these incredible historical places at our own pace. If you’re visiting Cairo and want to discover more of Egypt’s ancient wonders beyond the famous Giza pyramids, I would highly recommend this tour. A fantastic day with a wonderful guide and driver, creating memories we’ll never forget! 🇪🇬✨

    Totally recommend!

    We booked our tour kind a last minute but our guide Fady was great and knowledgeable. We start our tour with Saqqara which was amazing and we learnt lots of things from Fady. We were there around 8:15 so it wasn’t crowded and weather was nice. Besides the step pyramid and pyramid of unas, Tomb of Seshseshet Idut Princess is a must see! After Saqqara Fady took us to Dahshur. Going inside the red pyramid is a bit challenging but definitely worth it. After learning about bent pyramid it is more amazing to see and understand the great pyramid of Khufu, how people learn from their mistakes and aim for perfection. Memphis is the best way to finish the tour because it is easy and not overwhelming. I’d definitely recommend this if you want to have a friendly and more relaxed time. We also talked with Fady what we want to see and he was very helpful, he took really nice photos. And special thanks to our driver for a safe travel and nice musics.

    Excellent guided tour

    We had a good time on this tour. Our guide, Ahmed Aziz, was very informative and kept us well entertained. We were also not rushed through the itinerary and given reasonable time to enjoy the sights. Our guide was very patient to answer our questions as well. I would definitely recommend this operator for this tour.

    See where the pyramids began!

    Can’t recommend this tour enough, it was wonderful. Everyone goes to the great pyramids (as you should) but it is great to see some of the first pyramids so you can see the evolution. They are also guitar which makes you feel more connected. Our guide Ahmed was exceptional, very knowledgeable providing insights and telling us the history of each location. We were never rushed, allowing us to spend time the in the areas that held the most interest, he really made the tour feel like it was custom made for us. Our driver Shady was also fantastic. He arrived right on time and provided us with insights and commentary throughout the drive. Both Shady and Ahmed made us feel not only at ease, but like we were friends they were enjoying a day with. Don’t hesitate, book this tour you won’t regret it!

    VIP Private Day Memphis city ,Sakkara pyramids & Dahshur: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.

    How much does VIP Private Day Memphis city ,Sakkara pyramids & Dahshur cost?

    +

    Prices start at $14 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 VIP Private Day Memphis city ,Sakkara pyramids & Dahshur take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 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 VIP Private Day Memphis city ,Sakkara pyramids & Dahshur worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 158 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Giza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule VIP Private Day Memphis city ,Sakkara pyramids & 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 VIP Private Day Memphis city ,Sakkara pyramids & Dahshur suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book VIP Private Day Memphis city ,Sakkara pyramids & Dahshur?

    +

    Around 55 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does VIP Private Day Memphis city ,Sakkara pyramids & 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 Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel, ATV Bike, Shopping & Dinner Cruise, ViP Private Tour Giza Pyramids,camel ride , inside 3rd Pyramid, 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.

    What is included in VIP Private Day Memphis city ,Sakkara pyramids & Dahshur?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Entrance fee (based on the tour options you’ve booked); Private tour; All taxes, fees and handling charges; and Qualified Egyptologist tour guide (based on the tour options you’ve booked). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
