About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- S3405GMdanielc0 contributionsAmazing experience!Summer and Ahmed were amazing guides, very friendly and helpful plus they gave is great tips of places to go, food to eat, took great pictures for us and explained everything well. Highly recommend these guides and tours!Written November 30, 2024
- davidrennick2300 contributionsExcellent TourAn excellent and informative tour of some of the key sights in Saqqara, Dashur and Memphis. The tour was not rushed and the guide (Ahmed) explained everything clearly and there was plenty of time to wander round the sights and take photos. The Saqqara and Dashur pyramids are older than the Giza pyramids but are less visited by tourists making it a more peaceful experience. The guide and driver arrived on time and were both very professional and friendly.Written November 29, 2024
- dinomino650 contributionsPerfect execution!From the initial coordination to the execution GEM explore always exceeds my expectations.

She knew the best photo spots, and she was our personal bodyguard (: She has great recommendations with whatever you’re looking for! Our driver was always there ready to take us to the next spot, it was extremely efficient. I highly recommend doing this tour if you’re looking to have an efficient but flexible day around the pyramids. And the sunset atv ride was incredible, but cold in November, so bring a good jacket! Thank you Summer!Written November 24, 2024

- ruthmT5831UQ0 contributionsA Fun Night on the Nile RiverMy dad and I were on our way to the Giza pyramids when we decided we wanted to go on the Nile Dinner Cruise after Wael, our tour guide, recommended it. He took care of all the booking, arranged transportation, and took us souvenir shopping after our pyramid tour while we waited for the cruise to start. He made the excursion very stress free which allowed us to enjoy our evening without any worries. The dinner was delicious and the belly dancing and Tanora show were my favorite performances. At different times the dancers would encourage people to join them and dance on the stage too and some of the guests got really into the experience. Towards the end of the cruise we headed above deck and Wael told us about the different places as we passed by them and graciously took photos for us. Realistically, the experience was probably closer to 3 hours from boarding the ship to the end when we got off the ship. Overall, I enjoyed the experience!Written November 23, 2024

My friend and I had the most amazing tour (we got the Guide+Camel+Lunch+Fees package). Our guide, Nagwan, was absolutely incredible. She was knowledgeable, conversational, flexible, and dedicated to our enjoyment. The food was good and safe (for my sensitive little western digestive system), and Nagwan made sure we stayed hydrated. This tour was basically several tours in one. So much value for the price. And unlike many locals on the streets who just want tourists’ money, this tour company, and especially the tour guide Nagwan, were actually interested in our fun and adventure! Would recommend 10,000/10,000, and I’d encourage anyone to request that Nagwan be the tour guide as she will not disappoint!

Wow!! What a fantastic tour. Our tour guide, Wael, was amazing. He walked us through the Giza Pyramids complex and told us the history of the Fourth Dynasty pyramids: Pyramid of Khufu (the Great Pyramid), Pyramid of Khafre, and Pyramid of Menkaure. And the Great Sphinx. His knowledge of Egyptian history was perfect! He also showed us some of the best spots for photos and arranged for us a priceless camel walk across the panoramic view of the pyramid complex. After we visited the pyramids complex, he took us to a tour of a papyrus store where we were on a no-pressure demonstration of how papyrus paper was made into beautiful art. Then we had a good lunch of local Egyptian food and mezze. Besides the “official” tour, Wael was extremely helpful in providing amazing advice throughout our time in Cairo including how to negotiate prices, advising us what to see and not us, getting the taxi, understanding local Egyptian culture and cuisines, and loving Cairo and Egypt! I would extremely recommend this tour group and ask for Wael! He’s amazing and we now have a friend for life in Cairo!! We hope to keep in touch and see Wael again in the future!!

Anyone interested in a tour needs to pick Gem Explore!! Excellent experience from beginning to end. Professional interactions over the phone, as well as friendly conversations throughout the entirety of the trip. We paid for a half-day private tour with a driver and camel ride at the end and were not disappointed. We had plenty of time to take pictures (also showing off his expert picture-taking skills), with the tour guide also helping to prevent us from getting scammed.
The tour guide answered all of our questions as well as gave us descriptive information about the history of that time period. It was only a half-day tour, but felt like a whole day with how much we got to see without it being overwhelming. We never felt like he was just talking at us, but engaging with us and could easily see how passionate he was about sharing information most will never know. After the entire trip, we went to sit down at a koshary restaurant for lunch and then sat at a cafe to talk a bit before returning to our hotel. I would recommend anyone who wants a fulfilling experience in seeing Egypt, instead of a superficial one, to pick Gem Explore Egypt!

My wife and I have been fortunate to visit Egypt 3 times before covering Cairo, The Nile and quieter (then) Lake Nasser. Our son has ADHD so decided to pick a private tour to give us more control, less people in a big buss and a more down to earth and intimate experience.
Ali our guide and Farouk, our driver were spot on. Communication was excellent before the start, and during the tour.
Ali’s knowledge and explanation of the Giza plateau and multiple pyramids was delivered in such as way as to make a 15 year old very interested.
Having done the Pyramids tour before (twice) we have found some too long, chance for hawkers to try and tempt you and to be honest you can only take so many pictures.
This tour was spot on duration wise, my wife is challenged moving around so it was enough to take in the Ancient Pyramids and Sphinx before a trip to see papyrus being made, also a must do as it feeds the locals.
We would highly recommend GEM and Ali with Farouk handling the Cairo roads with skill. We are booked on another tour Tomorrow, Saquara, Dafur and Memphis which we are very much looking forward to.

We was picked from our hotel with a cheerful smile from our guide (Maged) and driver , super cleaned Mini bus .
The first half of the day we visited the Citadel and the Mohamed Ali mosque, very interesting information and a fantastic view of old Cairo, then we requested to visit the new Mummies museum which is opened recently,
We continued our day by visiting the Old market and got enough time to enjoy shopping and sitting in a local cafe for refreshments for us and the kids.
Overall everyone was happy and totally satisfied by organising, seems, museums, and buying a lot of gifts for our family back in the Netherlands.
recommend with 5 stars plus, and thanks to our guide Maged who made our day

For this day, we had the chance to be guided by Maged, magic guide, and drived by Adalah, very soft and conscious driver.
They both offered to us a very personnal and stressless visit sequence experience.
Every explanation are very pertinent and presented in an immersive way, using a dramatical humour in the good rate. Maged is living the show very plaisantly.
A lot of stops and ideas for photos are given, never stressed to continue the journey.
Camel tour is very plaisant as we see animals are in there element and the tour is just long enough (half an our to take pictures on the camels aside the pyramids will make us keep very great souvenir).
At the end, they will be glad to suggest stop times for merchandising, in special places (papyrus fabric, oil store were very interesting). I would advice to not feel obliged to buy anything even the welcoming is very warm, and even if I have been personnally too weak to refuse some beautyful souvenirs...
We had the chance to have our fantastic guide for an extra visit of the museum for a fair price add on, then came back to the hotel.
I would definitely recommand this tout for the clearness of every information and the trust you can afford go the company.

This half day tour was everything we needed when visiting the pyramids! Maged is very professional, polite and an excellent guide. He organized everything with less than a day of notice, and all worked out great! He is also an excellent photographer, and the tour was adapted to all our needs and requests.
We were picked up in a car with AC, very comfortable, and were provided cold water. When getting tickets he even gave us advice on which pyramids to visit or not. Inside the venue, he took us to the important spots, including the panorama, the pyramids, the sphynx and some tombs, and gave us explanations of the history, while taking great pictures! Afterwards, we were driven back to the hotel. The same driver stayed with us all the time, which really helped to alleviate the heat in-between places.
We fully recommend the tour and Maged as a guide. It was a stress-free experience and it was clear how knowledgeable he was about the history of the pyramids and ancient Egypt.

We traveled the first week of May from Palm Springs USA found very similar weather maybe cooler! Hadeer our very knowledgeable Egyptologist guide contacted us 1/2 hr early and we were ready to go! We are in our 60’s and she and her amazing driver helped us navigate getting the car closer to all sites we managed a camel 🐫 ride and they took the best pictures, we saw everything in the pyramid complex and the beautiful Sphinx then off for a wonderful lunch after a quick visit to Papyrus Museum to understand how papyrus paper is made all very interesting, Hadeer was a very excellent guide and also we were not approached much to buy trinkets but if she thought we had enough they quickly listened to her with a smile and we were on our way - Best Experience Ever!

We had a first class visit to the pyramids with our guide Hosam - highly recommended. Hosam’s communication and punctuality were faultless, and he was knowledgeable and thoughtful in guiding us around the park and the pyramids themselves. We never felt hassled/pressured and Hosam guided us through the experience to ensure we had the best time. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.
Hosam arranged an excellent mini-bus along with a careful driver (if you’re not from Cairo you will appreciate having a careful driver!). Travel was very good in both directions at 30-40mins from the centre of Cairo, but prepare for longer journeys as traffic can often be much worse.
It’s expensive by local standards to go inside the pyramids - but that’s also a great experience and not to be missed. The interior of the great pyramid is hot and quite space-restricted so dress and travel light if you’re doing that part.
