I don’t waste your time in Bazars and I don’t urge you to buy anything. I'm a licensed guide by the ministry of tourism, so, you will be safe with me. I've studied Egyptology for years in my university and got my license after so many hard exams, and still studying in a non stop journey of knowledge
I'll show u inside the amazing earlier pyramids and tombs of Dahshour and Saqqara (Bent pyramid, Unas complex, Djoser pyramid, Underground Serapium) and the remains of memphis (where the grand statue of king ramessis lies) & teach you how to read the hieroglyphs (ancient Egyptian writing)
The tour is private including ac car, lunch in a very unique local farm where you can see the authentic life of locals (as i like nature, not routine touristic restaurants). So if you are (nature-person) like me, this tour is perfect for you
