Enjoy an interesting journey with our detailed itinerary for the Cairo Airport Tour to Memphis, Saqqara, and Dahshur. To begin with, this wonderful trip will start with picking up our guests from the airport and driving them in a private car with air conditioning to see the following amazing places:

Firstly, Saqqara Step Pyramid: Imhotep, the genius architect and primary vizier for King Djoser, built the step pyramid, between 2670 BC and 2650 BC, to be the oldest and largest cut-stone tower in the world and the first pyramid complex of this type.

Secondly, Memphis City: The dream of their cherished civilization, starting in the 31st century BC as the first metropolis in Egypt and the lifeblood of the two countries. Lying some 20 kilometers south of Cairo, it was situated from the ancient ruins of the previous monarchy.

Egyptian Meal is provided

Finally, Pyramids of Dahshur: The entire region of Dahshur is a huge royal necropolis only 40 kilometers (25 miles) south of Cairo, notable for housing some of the world’s largest, oldest, and best-preserved structures dating from 2613 to 2589 BC. Some of the most well-known pyramids in Dahshur include the Bent Pyramid of Pharaoh Sneferu, dating from 2613 BC-2589 BC, the Red Pyramid dating from 2575 BC-2551 BC, and the Black Pyramid of Amenemhat III dating from 1860 BC-1814 BC.

We will transfer our clients back to Cairo Airport thereafter, for the end of the excursion. Lunch is included in the tour for it to be as realistic and fulfilling as possible.

Amazing tour to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur

January 1, 2025

This week we had a great tour with Mohamed to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur as well as Memphis. He tailored the tour to our preferences, took a lot of time with us and gave us detailed background information on everything. It was also great that he never tired of taking the time to answer our many questions.

You can definitely tell that he has studied Egyptology as he has a very deep understanding of the subject and can explain everything well. He also speaks perfect English and is really good driver.

We would definitely book a tour with him again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone. 🙂

Amazing Egypt Fun Tours

December 22, 2024

Highly Recommend Egypt Fun Tours!

Several weeks ago, I reached out to Egypt Fun Tours regarding a 9-hour layover in Cairo. From the very beginning, Hani Ahmed was responsive and professional, quickly providing a well-organized itinerary tailored to our limited time. The itinerary included a visit to the pyramids, other historical sites, a delicious dinner, and even a quick stop for souvenir shopping.

Upon arrival, Gilman efficiently assisted us in obtaining our day tourist visas (note: $25 per person in cash). She then introduced us to our guide, Mydo, who was absolutely phenomenal! Mydo’s knowledge, friendly demeanor, and ability to adjust the tour to our pace made the experience unforgettable.

We returned to the airport with plenty of time to relax before our flight. The entire experience was smooth, stress-free, and incredibly memorable. Egypt Fun Tours offers reasonable prices for a private, customized experience that truly exceeds expectations. Thank you, Egypt Fun Tours! We will definitely use your services again in the future.

Alexandria! Wow!

November 7, 2024

Muhammad is the best! He showed me a world I never thought possible! The tombs in Alexandria by far was my favorite! I never knew there was a place on earth that contained both Greek and Egyptian carvings in the same tombs! The history and culture of Egypt is so fascinating! I highly recommend booking with Muhammad!
