Three sites that should be visited if you go to Egypt.
Gary_T, October 2026
This was an educational trip to three places that were lesser known to us before the trip. But seeing the historical sights there was quite eye-opening.

Ancient Egypt history - a must see

We had a fabulous tour today with our guide Ashraf to Saqqara, Dahshur and Memphis. From pick up, to drop off, nothing was an issue for Ashraf. The tour included all admission tickets, so we could really take in the magnificent pyramids in these complexes. The car was comfortable and the driver, exceptional. We even had the opportunity to purchase a little Special keepsake from our tour. Highly recommend this tour.
