    Tour of Saqqara and Memphis with Sam

    We had an outstanding tour of Saqqara and Memphis with Sam as our guide and Sayeed as our driver. Sayeed kept us safe throughout the day and navigated everything smoothly, even getting us straight to the airport after the tour without a single delay. Sam organised the entire experience so we made the very best use of our time. He explained every site with real expertise — even drawing in the sand to show the evolution of the pyramids through the ages, which brought the history to life in such a memorable way. He was patient, welcoming, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Sam made sure we had soft drinks throughout the day, took photos for us, and even picked up lunch for us on the way to the airport. His care and attention made the whole experience feel effortless and enjoyable. We can’t recommend him highly enough. If you get the chance, do one of Sam’s tours — you won’t regret it.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this incredible and detailed review! We’re truly happy to hear that you had such an outstanding day exploring Saqqara and Memphis with Sam and Sayeed. It’s wonderful to know that Sam made the history come alive for you, especially with his drawings in the sand, and took care of every detail to make your day comfortable and enjoyable. We’ll also be sure to share your kind words with Sayeed for his safe and smooth driving throughout the day. Your recommendation means a lot to us and to the whole team. Thank you for choosing Travel Me Egypt and for trusting us with your time in Egypt. We hope to welcome you back again for another unforgettable experience! 🇪🇬

    Sam the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Guide

    After our fantastic experience with Sam at the Pyramids and Sphinx, we enjoyed the tour so much that when we planned our visit to Saqqara and Memphis, we made sure to request Sam again. That, in itself, says everything about how highly we thought of him. Once again, Sam’s knowledge, enthusiasm and genuine care made the experience exceptional. But what really stood out was the care and attention he gave us as individuals. We had a free morning before needing to return to the airport, and Sam completely tailored the day around our schedule, making sure we could see and experience as much as possible without ever feeling rushed. He even arranged everything to get us directly to the airport afterwards, making what could have been a stressful final morning completely seamless. From Saqqara to Memphis, Sam brought the history to life with the same passion and incredible knowledge we had experienced on our first tour. More importantly, he genuinely cared about making sure we had a memorable experience. Great guide, incredible knowledge, fantastic service — and, even better, a genuinely great guy. We would have no hesitation recommending Sam to anyone visiting Egypt. If you have the opportunity to have him as your guide, take it — you won’t regret it. Thank you again, Sam, for looking after us so well and helping make our time in Egypt truly unforgettable.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this amazing review. It honestly means a lot to us. Sam will be very happy to read your words. We’re especially glad that you chose to have him with you again for Saqqara and Memphis, and that he could make your last morning in Egypt easy and stress-free before your flight. It was a real pleasure having you with us on both days. Thank you for trusting Travel Me Egypt and for taking the time to share your experience. Wishing you both all the best, and we hope to see you again in Egypt someday! Warm regards, Travel Me Egypt

    A Peaceful Journey Through Ancient Egypt

    I truly enjoyed my day exploring the Step Pyramid of Saqqara and the open-air Memphis Museum — it felt calm, inspiring, and full of history. The statues in Saqqara were absolutely stunning and even more impressive in person. I took several memorable photos that I’ll always look back on with a smile. Mr. Joo and our guide Mohamed were genuinely warm and thoughtful, which made the whole experience feel personal and relaxed rather than just another tour.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re truly happy to hear that you had a great experience with Travel Me Egypt. Your kind words mean a lot to our team, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Egypt again soon!

    Giza Tour

    I went on a tour of the pyramids in Giza. It was a great tour! I would like to express my gratitude to Rana for her interesting рассказ о Египте и его истории. There was a separate transfer to the pyramids, which was very useful for getting around Giza. I highly recommend this tour to everyone!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed your Giza Pyramids tour. It means a lot to know that Rana made the experience special with her engaging stories about Egypt and its rich history — we’ll be sure to share your kind words with her. We’re also happy that the private transfer made your visit around Giza smooth and comfortable. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to Egypt for another unforgettable adventure soon!

    VIP Private Giza Pyramids Sphinx Saqqara and Memphis Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does VIP Private Giza Pyramids Sphinx Saqqara and Memphis Tour 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 VIP Private Giza Pyramids Sphinx Saqqara and Memphis 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 VIP Private Giza Pyramids Sphinx Saqqara and Memphis Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 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 VIP Private Giza Pyramids Sphinx Saqqara and Memphis 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 VIP Private Giza Pyramids Sphinx Saqqara and Memphis 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 VIP Private Giza Pyramids Sphinx Saqqara and Memphis Tour?

    +

    Around 4 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 VIP Private Giza Pyramids Sphinx Saqqara and Memphis 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 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 Giza Pyramids Sphinx Saqqara and Memphis Tour?

    +

    Included: Entry/Admission – Giza Pyramids Complex, The Great Sphinx; Entry/Admission – Pyramid of Menkaure (Third Pyramid) – ( Ultimate VIP Experience option ); VIP Traditional Egyptian Lunch; VIP Priority Skip-the-Line Service; and Entry/Admission – Saqqara Archaeological Site.

    +

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for VIP Private Giza Pyramids Sphinx Saqqara and Memphis Tour?

    +
