Dahshour
This archeological site is five miles away from Sakkara. There are three pyramids in this untrodden place: the Bent pyramid, the North or Red pyramid. Both belong to the pharaoh Snefru, the founder of the 4th dynasty while the third pyramid belongs to his wife Queen Step Heres. In this place, you will visit the Bent Pyramid, which was the first try to develop the shape of the Step pyramids. This pyramid looks fascinating with its two-level form and its beautiful soft casing layer. Move around this pyramid and have a look at the small pyramid of the queen. Then, stop at the Red or North pyramid. This one is the first true and complete pyramid in ancient Egypt. You will be told about the development of the royal tomb structure in the Old Kingdom.

Excellent Service and High quality, highly recommended. My friend Aldrich and I had a great time in Egypt, courtesy of Your Egypt Tours. They ensured that we were safe and well taken care of. Many thanks to Mona on helping us plan for this trip. Also many thanks to Ahmed and Mustafah for meeting us and bring us from the airport and helping us with logistics. Also we are very thankful to Mamdouh and Tarek for being excellent and knowledgeable tour guides. Furthermore we are grateful for the excellent and safe driving from Rafat in Cairo and Hamdi in Luxor.

Wow! We just wrapped up an incredible 2 day visit to Cairo with Your Egypt Tours. This was my partner and I’s first visit to Egypt and we can’t say enough great things about our experience. From start to finish they took care of all of the details of our trip. Mona helped us to select the right itinerary for our short stay in Cairo and was clear, timely, and professional in all of her communication. We were picked up from the airport, guided through the visa and customs process, and rode in a lovely private van to our hotel with the help of Ahmed. Driving in Cairo is no easy feat and our driver Raf made us feel incredibly comfortable. We chose to visit the pyramids our first day and check out Cairo, the Khan el Khalili bazaar, and the Egyptian museum on our second day. Our guide, Mamdouh, was truly incredible. His knowledge, fun attitude, and professionalism made our experience so memorable. He is also a great photographer! Every detail of each day was taken care of including coordinating entrance fees, identifying which local vendors were reputable, and giving us a chance to learn more about the Egyptian culture. Every person we interacted with in the tour group is so welcoming and made us look forward to our next visit to Egypt. If you are looking for the best tour experience on your trip, Your Egypt Tours is it! 10/10.

Fantastic experience on the Sunset Camel Ride. I thought we were going in a group but turns out it was just my husband and I. Hatem our guide was absolutely amazing and so was our car driver. The camel guys were great! We sat and watched the sun set over the pyramids. Best experience and highly recommend Your Egypt Tours ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We are so blessed to have the opportunity to tour Egypt with Your Egypt Tours! They guided us from the moment we landed in Cairo, traveling to Aswan, guiding our journey along the Nile, traveling from Luxor to Cairo and ensuring our safe return home. Every guide and driver was welcoming and warm. They truly made us feel at home in Egypt. We felt safe and well taken care of with the Your Egypt Tours team. Without the care, attention to detail and warmth of the team our time in Egypt wouldn't have been as magical. We celebrated my 30th birthday here and the team truly went above and beyond to ensure I had an amazing birthday in Cairo. We cannot recommend this company and team enough for your time in Egypt.

Terrific experience - I highly recommend Your Egypt Tours! I found this tour company online and ended up booking a 3 day / 2 night tour of Cairo from Taba. The tour agent, Mona Hamdy, did a great job of communicating and organizing the perfect private tour to fit my needs. Mr. Taha Marie, my personal tour guide and Egyptologist, was extremely knowledgeable and always eager to share information about his home country and its long and fascinating history. I found that having my own private tour guide, as well as my own driver, was the perfect way to see and appreciate the many interesting sights in a short amount of time. I felt completely safe at all times and I found the Egyptian people to be kind and welcoming. My heartfelt thanks go out to Your Egypt Tours for an unforgettable trip!
