We had an amazing time on our tour with Aziza! She made the day such a delight and she was full of great knowledge. I would highly recommend doing this tour, and spending the more time at Saqqara like we did.

This encounter was very remarkable! Since childhood, I have had a strong desire to see the pyramids, and I am pleased to report that they did not disappoint me in the slightest. The person that led us for the day was Jemmy, and she was exceptional. He has a remarkable depth of knowledge, exhibited a warm and kind demeanor, and proved to be an excellent companion for the whole day. Once we depleted our water supply, she promptly stopped at a vendor and purchased more water for all of us without seeking permission. We appreciate your efforts in making our vacation exceptional, Jemmy!

Our tour guide, Youssa with Egypt Tour Club, was amazing! He was very detailed and knowledgeable when it came to giving us our tour around the city and during the actual excursion. It was a smooth process when it came to picking and dropping off, if you’re considering booking with this company…. Go for it, you will not be disappointed.

Perfect tour of the Pyramids, Saqqara, and Memphis for a family! Our family of two adults and four children (12, 10, 6, 2 yrs) thoroughly enjoyed this tour with Mohamed thru Egypt Tours Club! It included all the sights and some amazing local stops along the way. We added the camel rides at Giza which was such a fun experience for the kids and our family! We have some absolutely amazing pictures and memories. Mohamed and our driver were really great, patient, and knowledgeable. We ended up booking an additional tour the next day with the same company! We’re very pleased and would encourage any family to take this trip!

We had a great time visiting Saqqara, Memphis and the pyramids all thanks to our guide Ibrahim. He was very knowledgeable and helpful, giving us plenty of information about the history of Egypt, making sure we weren't overwhelmed by sellers and showing us the best picture spots. The lunch that had been set up for us was delicious and in a cool place. The guide and driver wore mask and constantly sanitized their hands and ours, making us feel very safe Covid-wise. Highly recommend and would definitely book Ibrahim for another trip!

We took this outing to Saqqara and Memphis with driver Mohamed Ali and tour guide Reham Shawky and we found it well worth the extra expense to have a very well informed guide who went out of her way to help us. We were interested in trying some tameyya and she stopped and got us some at a local shop and it was fabulous and fresh! I would recommend this tour with Memphis tours for families with teens.

Since I was a children I wanted to visit Egypt and see the pyramids. Ali and Egypt Tour Club made it easy for me and my brother. We Booked everything with them. Transfer, tours, Cruise, flights and PCR test. This was my third international tour and my English is not very good so Ali, to make the trip better was able to find guides that spoke Spanish. Mohammed, the tour guide was great. He taught me a lot of the things I wanted to learn since I was a little girl. I am coming back home knowing old Egypt was greater than i ever imagined. I couldn't recommend a better company. I felt save in Egypt as a woman The tour guide and driver were vaccinated and were wearing masks. So I felt safe during these cover times.

Egypt Tours Club provided the best experience in Egypt! trust me you will love it! This is my third time in Egypt with different companies and this was the best experience I ever had. Ali, the agent from ETC provided EVERYTHING that I needed in Egypt, transfers, tours, hotel, activities, PCR test, air tickets and Cruise. he was always available to answer any question I had and tailoring the tour to accommodate my needs. The Tour guide/Egyptologist Mohammed knew a lot about egypt and explained all the details on the temples and tombs in a interesting and funny way so it was not boring. If he is available ask for mohammed, you won't regret.

Saqqara, Memphis & Pyramids of Giza Day Tour

Discover the Origins of Ancient Egypt in One Private Journey

The Saqqara, Memphis & Pyramids of Giza Day Tour is one of the most complete Cairo day tours for travelers who want to understand how ancient Egyptian civilization and pyramid architecture developed. This private experience connects Egypt’s first capital, the earliest monumental stone pyramid and the world-famous Giza Plateau in one carefully organized journey.

Designed for first-time visitors, archaeology enthusiasts and culture lovers, the tour combines the open-air museum of Memphis, the Step Pyramid of Djoser and the Pyramid of Teti at Saqqara with the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the panoramic viewpoint, the Valley Temple and the Great Sphinx. Expert Egyptologist guidance and private transportation make the day informative, comfortable and flexible.

Why This Cairo Day Tour Stands Out

This itinerary follows the historical development of ancient Egypt rather than visiting isolated monuments. Memphis reveals the political and religious foundations of the early kingdom, while Saqqara introduces the breakthrough that transformed royal tombs into monumental stone pyramids.

The journey then reaches its architectural climax at Giza, where visitors can admire the Great Pyramid, view all three main pyramids from the desert panorama and explore the Valley Temple and Great Sphinx. The route delivers a clear and memorable story of royal power, funerary belief and engineering achievement.

Perfect for First-Time Visitors and History Lovers

Travelers searching for a private Saqqara and Giza tour from Cairo, a Memphis and Step Pyramid excursion or a complete Pyramids of Giza day tour will find all three experiences in one program. Smooth logistics, flexible pacing and personalized explanations make it one of the strongest private Cairo tours for discovering the origins of ancient Egypt.
