        Highly recommended for those who are visiting Egypt first time
        We booked our entire trip with Sun Pyramids, covering Cairo, the 2D1N White Desert tour, and Luxor. All the guides were very friendly and experienced, special thanks to Mohamed Khames, Walaa, Eslam, driver Mahmoud, and Daif. A big thank you to Hoda, the travel agent, for her amazing follow-up, close communication, and helpful advice before our trip. I strongly recommend Sun Pyramids to my friends and family planning to visit Egypt. It’s so much easier to book everything through one agency rather than dealing with multiple ones, saving you a lot of hassle. The lunches included in the package were also very tasty!

        Quick layover tour!
        A whirl wind layover tour from the Cairo airport! Our guides were prompt and efficient! We exited the airport at 0630 and went immediately to the Giza plateau! It was early morning, and there were very few tourists! Our guide, Saheed, was very knowledgeable with very competent English. We opted for the camel rides nearby, and boy was that fun!

        A trip to remember and to recommend
        Last week we had a five day trip to Cairo and Alexandria. We are simply enthusiastic about it. Our guide, Hazem, is super: friendly, competent, knowledgeable, problem-solving oriented and a great cultural intermediary. He speaks wonderful Italian and English. The trips were interesting and very well organized. Our hotel, Royal Pyramid Inn, is nice and comfortable and strategically located. Its restaurant is also very good and the hotel personnel and staff, including the drivers, are friendly and ready to help. And all of this at a reasonable price. Thank you very much for a great experience. Luigi and Giovanni, Italy

        Authentic desert experience under the stars.
        Fabulous experience. The oasis is interesting and deserts are amazing. The tour worked well from the pick up in Giza to our arrival in Luxor. Our driver, Abdul, in the desert was very professional and funny and very efficient at setting up the camp and preparing meals and brewing up tea at any moment anywhere. The guide, Mohammed, although still somewhat inexperienced, was very attentive to make sure we had everything we needed. The other drivers (from Giza to Bahariya and from there to Luxor were also first class. The hotel in Bawati was also fine, if relatively basic. The desert is just do awe-inspiring.

        Awesome Trip
        All the tours we took with Sun Pyramid were awesome. Our guide did a phenomenal job. From the time the company picked us up at the hotel until they dropped us back off each time and never left our side was customer service at its best. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who is in Cairo or surrounding area.

        The best tour and guide that I've experienced.
        We did 5 days Siwa and Bahariya oasis tour with Mohab Elattmany. He was the best guide among our Egypt tour guides. He knows everything about Egypt (He has degrees for egytology) and is also a very responsible person. Even when he had a kind of food poisoning during the tour, he always took care of us with a smile. And of course our driver Nasser and Younis were good and professional. Siwa, bahariya, dessert, some historic sites and so on... Every moment of the tour was fantastic.(Well sometimes our guide explained too much ) Highly recommended!!

Mohab is just amazing to be around and i consider him a friend now!❤️ Ahmed our driver for the week couldn't have been BETTER! He was absolutely amazing! Always friendly, always on time and always willing to adjust to fit our desires and change schedules.😍 MaRtina who coordinated the entire week was great to work with and always ensured we were accommodated and happy. 🧡 Overall our VIP private tour experience and all of the accommodations were exceptional thanks to everyone that helped coordinate and make this trip an amazing adventure! ❤️❤️❤️

        Good planning and organisation, personalised service
        Pyramid tours provide tailored itineraries for Egypt, with different options to needs, etc. I would recommend it. The itineraries do not vary much from other tour companies in Egypt. Rana Yasser from Pyramid tours was super helpful throughout the planning, booking and was very responsive during our tour in Egypt. She always provided confirmations, solutions and options when we were in Egypt. I would suggest exploring packages provided by Pyramid tours. Also, in terms of different tours offered in different languages, I think the tours in English are better than the ones in Spanish (but the routes are the same). If you really do not want to bother doing your own planning for the trip, it is a one stop solution for a tour and the planning hitting all the must see sites. We did a 9 day tour with a 4 day cruise from Answar to Luxor. We enjoyed the Cairo tour around the Giza Pyramids, and also enjoyed the Sound and Light show around one of the hotels in the Pyramids which included dinner and a great view.

        All you want can be true in Egypt
        We highly recommend the SUN PYRAMIDS TOURS agency. We are from Poland, it was hard for us to trust a travel agency from Egypt. We agreed on all the details of the trips via WhatsApp, and through Booking.com we made reservations for two hotels with which the agency cooperates - Great Pyramid Inn and Royal Great Pyramid Inn. The benefit was mutual. We had really great rooms and food and the agency took care of us all the time during our stay. The representative on behalf of the agency was Mohamed Elnoby🌹 a man with great knowledge and joy of life, who showed us Egypt from this beautiful side - joyful, friendly and so oriental for us. We travel a lot to different corners of the world ourselves, but we have not experienced such great cordiality yet. Thank you Mohamed 🫶. We were together on 4 trips: 1. a whole day in Alexandria, where our driver was Shady. 2. one whole day in Wadi el Hitan and Fayoum Oasis and 3. one whole day in Cairo, where our driver was the great Ahmed Hamama - thanks to him and Mohamed Elnoby we saw as much in one day as regular tours offer for 2-3 days. 4. two-day trip to the White and Black Desert with an overnight stay under the open sky full of trillions of stars and with Bedouin music by the campfire. An amazing one-time experience - we have beautiful photos and warm memories. Everything took place as we agreed before the trip. We are very pleased and glad that we trusted Sun Pyramids Tours (arrangements on behalf of the agency were made with us by Reham Elsayed) but above all we are grateful that our guide was Mohamed ❤️because it is people who create the atmosphere and our perception of what we encounter.

        Amazing Desert Adventure with Mohamed Italiano
        I had an incredible one-day trip to the White Desert with Mohamed Italiano. Everything was perfectly organized, from the transportation to the delicious meals. Mohamed is knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience unforgettable with his stories and attention to detail. The scenery was breathtaking, especially the sunset over the unique rock formations. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Egypt!
