Menna & Ahmed are the dream team 😎 absolutely loved our tour and would reccomend to anyone! Menna was a fantastic tour guide and was very knowledgable in the history of the pyramids and sphinx. She is also very kind and patient and took us to a lovely restaurant for lunch with pyramid views. She even asked us what we wanted so she could order our food ahead of time so our wait was very minimal. Ahmed was a fantastic driver who always kept the car cool and made sure we didn’t have to walk much between stops by always being super close by! He also made extra extra effort to make sure he drove carefully over bumpy terrain as I’m pregnant, which added to the comfort. Highly reccomend Menna and Ahmed for your tour! Thank you to both for a wonderful day.

My female tour guide was amazing. She was very kind , hospitable and informative. She took us to all the sites, explained things every step of the way and made sure I was comfortable. I enjoyed all the sites we visited and took lots of pictures with the guide help. She made the trip really fun and I will definitely recommend booking this trip.

I loved everything about it but just make sure you bring a bottle of water as you will only get it at dinner which is after the atm and camel riding. overall it was a really good experience definitely recommend.

We are very happy with this activity. We felt very safe and had so much fun. I definitely recommend everyone to book this.
