About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Odyssey5199340 contributionsLuxor to Aswan cruiseOur tour guide Ahmad Awad looked after us very well. The tour were well organised and on time. Ahmad's knowledge deciphering the hieroglyphics brought meaning and life the the amazing temples and tombs of the ancient Egyptian dynasties.Written November 30, 2024
- graemeleon0 contributionsEgypt - the trip of a lifetime!From the first contact to provide an itinerary to the last contact securing a refund for a cancelled flight, the staff at Memphis was attentive, professional and empathetic. Sara who booked the trip after we made several changes over a 2 week period meaning 6 iterations, was always helpful and responsive. The local hosts (especially Nsar) treated us like royalty. The drivers (especially Mohammed) deserve a medal for navigating Cairo traffic. The the guides (especially Ahmed) were very well informed and helpful. We had the trip of a lifetime over 11 days seeing as many of the sites as we could including 5 flights within Egypt and a Nile cruise. If you want to skip anything the day trip to Alexandria is a 3.5 hour drive to see catacombs and a citadel. Both take less than a couple of hours.Written November 29, 2024

- szilviah20130 contributionsVery trustworthy agency with great guidesWe used Memphis Tours for our entire week in Egypt starting in Cairo, then in Aswan, Abu Simbel and on the Nile tour to Luxor. They were very responsive, prompt, well planned, very helpful with everything (with the exception of not booking first class on the domestic flights that was requested). Our tour guides, Mohammad in Cairo, and Abdul in Abu Simbel were extremely knowledgeable and great. The photo shooting with the camels at the Pyramids is a must option that left us with wonderful photos.Written November 26, 2024

It was good from the start when Ahmed Ramadam picked us up from the hotel with great punctuality. As my wife first language was not German, he changed quickly to english and continued the whole tour in this language. it was greatly appreciated. Additionally we will have wonderfull memories due to his talent of taking pictures. We thank Ahmed for the nice time.Written November 24, 2024
- S8390HEjorgen0 contributionsThank you Nesma & Memphis!I stayed 14 days in Egypt, 5 in Cairo, 5 in Nile Cruise, 4 in Sharm el Sheij in Sept/Oct 24. Many many thanks to Nesma Mohamed! She helped me planning the itinerary, activities, ensured everything was according to planned and look after me at every moment. I’m sure my stay in Egypt wouldn’t had been as exciting and everlasting as it was if she wasn’t part of it. Thank you Nesma and Memphis! As I told you, I will recommend you to every friend that ever wishes to visit Egypt.Written November 23, 2024
- Cool_Nick_20 contributionsGreat experience with MemphisWe had a great time on the 5 day Nike cruise and Abu Simbel temples which was organized by Memphis. Memphis is very organized and very responsive with any queries. Azab (our guide) was with us from Luxor to Aswan and was amazing. He was always punctual for the excursions and had all the travel arrangements and entry tickets booked ahead of time. He is very knowledgeable about Egyptian history and answers all the questions patiently. We added an extra excursion after the cruise to the Abu Simbel temples, and we were assigned a different guide, but he was excellent too. The cars and small vans used for the different excursions were great.Written November 23, 2024
- jhoannel20240 contributionsEgypt 2 week vacationWe used Memphis Tours to plan our first time trip to Egypt and I'm glad we did. Our trip was two weeks and we spent time in Cairo, Luxor (including a Nile Cruise), Aswan, and Sharm El Sheikh. All of our guides, drivers, were very friendly, kind, professional and always made sure we were having the best experience possible. Although everyone was amazing, the two guides that stood out to me the most during our trip were Kerolos Henen in Cairo and Alaa Rashwan who was with us on our Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan. Kerolos was kind, friendly, personable and fun. He gave us lots of information regarding all the activities we could do while we were in Cairo and also arranged to have my very important Egyptian cotton bedsheets I purchased in Cairo delivered to my hotel at the end of the trip so that I wouldn't have to worry about taking it with me in my luggage while I traveled around. On our last night in Cairo, I was pretty hungry after getting in from our flight from Sharm El Sheikh, and he took us to a local spot for food. Even though it was a simple meal, it was one of my favorites and it made the last few hours of my trip some of the best hours I could have spent. I'm very happy to have had Kerolos as our Cairo guide and highly recommend him. Alaa is a very knowledgeable Egyptologist with years of experience under his belt. He was able to answer pretty much any question we had about anything that we saw, and explained to us all the facts and history of Egypt with confidence and ease. His love and passion for his work truly showed, and it made our experience that much more memorable and enjoyable. Even at times where minor challenges came up with my friend that I was traveling with, he navigated the situation with kindness and understanding and always made sure she was satisfied and happy. He took good care of us and looked out for us every step of the way. I'm very happy to have had him as our Luxor/Aswan guide and highly recommend him as well. Overall I really enjoyed my time in Egypt and feel very lucky to have had such amazing people be part of my experience. Thank you very much to the whole Memphis Team for everything! :)Written November 22, 2024
- Bishop W0 contributionsMEMPHIS EGYPTIAN VACATIONWanted to express my thanks to Memphis Tours for doing such an incredible job with the 10 day Egyptian Vacation Tour! Special thanks to Mansoon Mahummad our guide in Aswan, Luxor and during our 3 day Red Sea Cruise. His knowledge of the area and enthusiasm were unbelievable! Mansoon was extremely kind and attentive. It was a pleasure working with him. I highly recommend Memphis Tours and Mansoon Mahummad as a great guide.Written November 20, 2024
- Matt B0 contributionsFull 8 Day Guided Trip to Egypt with Memphis ToursMemphis Tours really knows how to hire people. Every person whether it was a driver, guide, a Nile cruise worker, or anyone else was extremely nice and helpful. We also learned so much about Egypt because of having a guide at all the temples/monuments/ and museums. Would definitely use Memphis tours in the future!Written November 20, 2024
- 348rexw0 contributionsMARVELOUS MEMPHIS TOURSMy friend and I booked the 10 day tour that included: Cairo, Aswan, Luxor and Hurghada. The experience was superb. The lodging was great. We felt completely safe the entire time. 1. Cairo - pyramids and local museum. 2. Aswan and Luxor Temples and King Tut 3. Hurghada Red Sea Cruisre and desert excursion. From my initial contact with Nayera to my final flight back home, Memphis Tours was both friendly and professional always responding to my inquiries in a timely fashion. The vehicles were modern and comfortable and the drivers were always timely and courteous. Our guides were extremely competent and attentive. Special thanks to guides Rhema, Ibrahim Elghany who were marvelously helpful. Mansoon Mahummad - Aswan and Luxor whose knowledge and enthusiasm was off the charts! Also guide Ibrahim Mohamed was very helpful and went above and beyond expectations. I highly recommend Memphis Egyptian Tours!Written November 20, 2024
- Odyssey328650 contributionsCustom Egypt tour operated by Memphis ToursWe just returned from a 9 night custom tour of Egypt organized thru Nile Cruise Vacations. Our contact in Cairo and beyond was Memphis Tours. We could not have expected anything better in the tour Guide Sherif and our driver Mahmoud in Cairo and Alexandria. Alexandria Library a must see. Attached picture. They were the best, knowledgeable, easy to understand and made us feel so welcome in their country. Our guide, Abdo, for Aswan and Luxor again was quite knowledgeable. Hotels were 3-4 star, adequate since we were on the go nonstop. Our Nile River cruise was on m/s La Traviata and it was truly a step back in time, nostalgic. Where they lacked glitz, the service was impeccable. The tours were great and we saw and learned so much. Last minute add on was to the Grand Egyptian Museum, Absolutely Awesome, well done, not to miss when visiting Cairo. Memphis Tours took very good care in providing us an awesome experience. Again we all would recommend this tour I personally organized this itinerary, but I would add an additional day or 2 down time, especially leaving 1st day open as a free day due to very long flight and late arrival in Cairo. This was a dream of a life time and Nile Cruise Vacations and Memphis Tours came through for us. Thank you!😊 Kate Fowkes Travel SpecialistWritten November 19, 2024

We did this tour on the last day, but we also had the pleasure of being accompanied on the Giza and Saqqara tour and the Egyptian museum, citadel and souk in Cairo. Wonderful places, impeccable organization thanks to the van and the smiling and extremely helpful driver. It would not have been the same experience without Hala, our guide, who spoke excellent Italian, introduced and guided us into the local culture present and past. The passion, emphasis and clarity with which he explained impressed us deeply, giving us a truly unforgettable experience. Thanks MT, thanks Hala!!!

It was a very beautiful visit, Alexandria is a city with a lot of history and it was wonderful to be there to learn what it is like today, we were able to see this history in the museum of the current library of Alexandria, which is also a very nice visit . Memphis tours made this tour very comfortable, we were given private transportation, our driver Bessem is a great driver and that is very important because it is a three-hour tour and the traffic between Cairo and Alexandria is very heavy, but Memphis tours chose the best times to travel. The guide Maria was very kind, with her we learned a lot about the current culture in Cairo and Alexandria, about Islam and many other things. The timing of the visits was very well planned. The food in Alexandria is delicious.

My review is a heartfelt thank you to Gabry who guided us to this interesting city of Alexandria which I highly recommend visiting! Gabry also follows other excursions in Cairo and I recommend asking for him as a guide, prepared and pragmatic in his directions but above all a kind, cheerful, polite, polite, helpful and very helpful person with his advice given by experience and common sense. In short, a truly decent person to whom I wish every luck in his profession!

Everything was perfect: The advice from the trip planning, the support throughout the tour, the logistics and attention of the staff in all the cities visited, the experience and knowledge of the guides, especially Ahmed Mahmoud during the cruise. They made this trip a wonderful and unforgettable experience. We loved everything.

This was my first tour organized by Memphis Tours but my second travel to Egypt in September 2023.
The tour itself was awesome having benefitted from Ahmed Helal's expertise. He's the best among his peers and in great demand in all of Egypt. His wealth of knowledge is invaluable and unsurpassed.
Our driver, Michael Lewis, was very welcoming, easy going and courteous. He made sure that I was comfortable for the safe and long drive ahead.
Ewais Nuzahi was our Egyptian Tour Guide in the 3 night Minerva Nile Cruise. His exceptional knowledge of Egyptian history is simply superb. All great mentors are!
While I believe traveling feeds the soul, Egypt is surely one not to be missed. I would highly recommend Memphis Tours and request for these excellent Egyptologists, Ahmed Helal and Ewais Nuzahi.
So, what are you waiting for? Go out there and enjoy as tomorrow is not guaranteed.
Life is too short to miss these endless opportunities waiting to be explored!

It wasn't what I expected.
We went with the expectation of immersing ourselves in the history of Alexander the Great and Cleopatra and stayed gladly little by little. The city itself is not attractive beyond the charm of the library.
The guide and driver were great, but not a ride I would recommend.

Trip to Alexandria for the day was okay. Our guide was nice and knowledgeable, but everything felt rushed. The library was closed due to it being Friday (my fault for not checking) and it was what I really wanted to see. A long drive for one day. Our guide left us alone for a while which was fine but also strange. We were routed to a papyrus factory back in Cairo after a really long day.....we really just wanted to get back to the hotel. Our guide also too some pictures of us and never sent them to us. For the price this trip was not really worth it.

We visited Alexandria with Hend and a driver. It was amazing. Hend went above and beyond during this trip and even took us to her favorite ice cream store. Memphis Tours is the best tour agency we have ever experienced and we have traveled extensively throughout different parts of the world. We highly recommend the Memphis private tours when visiting Egypt.
