Great experience with Ehab in Sakkara, Dahshur & Memphis

We were lucky enough upon our arrival in Cairo to be met by Ehab and Islam. Ehab is an Egyptologist and has an incredible amount of knowledge about all of the Egyptian history and culture, both ancient and modern history. He and Islam, our driver, picked us up In front of our hotel and brought us to see the oldest pyramids in Egypt in Saqqara and Dahshur, educating us along the way on everything around us in Egypt both past and present. We then proceeded to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, where he guided us through the sights, statues and relics, there. He was a kind, friendly accommodating guide, not to mention unbelievably knowledgeable about everything related to Egyptology. We were able to go inside a tomb at Saqqara, which was absolutely fascinating. He guided us not only through the historic aspect of Egypt, but also the social and tourist aspect, protecting us along the way from being taken advantage of. We would've been absolutely lost without him. We were only in Egypt for two days and had him for this tour and another full day tour at the Giza plateau, the Egyptian museum and several other places. We could not have gotten luckier with our guide. With the limited amount of time we had he made our visit to Egypt so easy and so fascinating without having to worry about logistics. He also treated us to lunch, which was extremely kind of him and it was an amazing lunch as well.

Best option when short on time.

Oct 2023 • Couples

Driver was punctual at our hostel for pickup. Took us to Dahshur & Sakkara step pyramids and gave us all the time we needed to see what we wanted. Even better was that he dropped us off at a different location as it was our last day in Egypt and we still had to make time to see other things on our own instead of losing time and being dropped off at our hostel. Good option if you are short on time and need to get around far distances without the hassle. I would do it over again.
