Had a great day travelling around Sakkara, Dashur and Memphis with Salib. He gave us a comprehensive history about ancient Egypt on our drive over from Cairo and then we learned a lot in the respective locations as well. For lunch we went to a very interesting local restaurant which I would highly recommend to meat lovers! Overall a very pleasant experience and highly recommend to get Salib as your tour guide and driver.

Salib was an excellent guide for our Sakkara and Memphis tour. His deep knowledge and engaging storytelling brought the Step Pyramid and Memphis artifacts, like the statue of Ramses II, to life. Friendly, patient, and professional, Salib made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend him for exploring Egypt’s history!

We had an excellent experience with Salib and Magdy.
Both our guide and driver were very professional and friendly. Our trip started punctually and we were able to visit the first sites before the crowds arrived. Salib was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about explaining the history and pointing out details at the sites. He was thoughtful when explaining the physical expectations to tour the inside of the pyramids. Each of the three sites were uniquely interesting and the tour was well planned and executed.
Highly recommend this experience with our guide Salib.

The tour was amazing. Our driver Tamer was on time, which helped a lot because we didn't spend time at all waiting on lines. The guide Salib was amazing. He took the time to explain as much as possible and he gladly answered all of our questions. The tour consists of 6 pyramids, which you have the chance to visit all of them. Through the day we also had lunch, which was included in the price. It didn't felt rushed at all and we were able to take a lot of photos along the way. At the end of the trip we had the opportunity to buy some papyrus and/or perfume. Generally it was a trip was felt easy and not forced at all, we recommend it!

This is an excellent tour to see the oldest Pyramids and incredible early Egyptian carvings, statues, and hieroglyphics. Salib was an incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating tour guide and nothing was too much to ask. A truly wonderful day with a wonderful guide.

Saqqara and Dahshur are two of the most important historical sites in Egypt, and visiting these places was an incredible experience for us.
We were picked up promptly in our hotel and our tour guide Osama Mikhael has treasure trove of knowledge about Egypt. During the tour, he really knew how to make everything so fascinating and engaging. His knowledge and passion for the history and culture of the places we visited really shone through, and he was able to convey that to us in a way that was both educational and entertaining.
Rafik is a patient driver and we felt safe wading through egyptian traffic.
The tour ended with nice egyptian lunch.
I'd highly recommend this pair for this tour. It is worth every penny.

Ask for Salib as your guide. He was amazing. The tour went flawlessly and Salib was very informative and accommodating. On the way to Sakkara, he provided a history of Egypt and explained what we were about to see. At the Step Pyramid, he provided a very good tour of the area and pointed out numerous areas of significance which helped provide a better understanding to things we saw on the rest of our trip. Going into the step pyramid is very easy and very worthwhile. At the Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid, Salib again provided very good explanations on their significance. Again, going into both is very interesting and worthwhile. The Bent Pyramid is more challenging than the Red Pyramid. They are much less crowded than the Giza pyramids so we found them much more enjoyable. We were interested in seeing the local cotton products so we stopped at a local carpet store and saw how they were made. Salib also accommodated our request to see other types of local cotton products so took us to a different store. At Memphis, Salib provided a very good tour of the area and again explained the significance of what we were seeing. We also stopped for a falafel sandwich in Memphis which was really good. The last stop of the say was the quad bike ride on the Giza plateau. It was a very fun experience and getting to see the pyramids from a different angle away from the hoards of tourists is very worthwhile. We got taken to a number of vantage points and the guide who came with us knew all the best angles for the best pictures. Overall, it was an excellent day and Salib is a top notch guide.

We had a fantastic day with our guide Osama and driver Medhat. Osama was very knowledgeable and keen to share lots of information. We had time to soak up the amazing history of the area as well as learn more about living in modern Egypt. Highlights were going inside the Red Pyramid at Dahshur, and the extensive and highly detailed wall paintings in the temple of Mereruka. Lunch was also delicious. Much less touristy than Giza - I recommend highly.
