Tahrir Square: Tours & Tickets

We had a great tour with Maged from Emo Tours (17 years experience) who gave a detailed tour of some of the fabulous site locations around the Great Pyramid area (not just pyramids & Sphinx. He gave insights into the religious relationship between Pharaohs/Gods/People spanning thousands of years. We also arranged a camel ride - great fun. Then went to the Museum and Maged highlighted important pieces relevant to great Pharaohs (including Tutankhamen & Mummies) and shared some of his extraordinary knowledge. We asked endless questions and Maged filled in so many blanks. Then off to the the bazaar and excellent lunch (barbecued Kofta and Chicken was great). Very happy to recommend Emo Tours & particularly Maged. Excellent driver made us feel very Safe. We were so happy we went the next day to Saqqara, Memphis & Dahshur. Saqqara is awesome & not overrun with tourist buses. You have time & space to absorb so much. It is a MUST-SEE & early pyramids/ site put Giza pyramids in perspective.

Good organisation. Early call in the morning so travel is comfortable at night. Two drivers were excellent. In Cairo the guide awaits you there. The National Museum is great but very busy. Stay close to the group and hope you don't get two ladies who wanted to take pictures of everything thus eating up our time. Lunch was good as well. The Pyramids are spectacular. Beware of the heat though. The trip on the river Nile is not to be missed. Return journey good to, although a bigger bus could make things more comfortable.

We had an amazing day. Would definitely recommend. The tour was adapted to fit the needs of our group (a family with 2 young children) and we learnt so much from Essam.

My guide Yassin was great as was the driver: 10 minutes early, great tour, easy driving and getting around. You will learn a lot about the history of ancient Egypt and get a the vibe of modern Egypt also.

Our tourguide knew almost everything about Egyptian history. He solved every question that we had. Take for sure the visit in papyrus museum and parfume place that recommended. You have, also, the option to ride a camel. The guide was an excellent photographer,too. Have in mind that all tickets for museums are extra but worth it.Don't hesitate to take this tour. Both guys were very kind and helpful!!
