Thank you incredibly much for taking us on this great excursion!!!
First thing in the morning we were picked up at the hotel by Wael and the driver, where they drove us to the pyramids in Giza. The drive was fun as well, because we got to talk about recent egyptian events and history.
At the pyramids we first got a little lesson about how their history and who built them, before first taking a little walk up and around the base of the closest pyramid and then going for a camel ride. The camel ride was an incredible experience which I will remember for the rest of my life :)
Soon after the camels, we took a short drive over to the sphynx, where we were taught some very detailed history and legends about the sphynx and the surrounding area.
After the sphynx, we drove to the papyrus factory nearby, where the woman working there showed us how it's made and the history behind it, before we were shown around the papyrus shop, where we ended up bying some very beautiful papyrus boards.
When we were done, we took a drive a little further south of the city, where we first stopped for some nice snacks and then ended up at Sakkara for another round of ancient sights.
At the Sakkara site our great guide told us everything there was to know about the buildings and pyramids around there plus more, where we also got to go into a tomb pit and several ancient buildings.
When we were done at the second pyramid site, we were taken to a nice little carpet weavery, where we got to see how the carpets were made and also taken around the carpet store, buying a beautiful little red tapestry. Outside the carpet place, we also got to see the beautiful fields nearby at a farm right next door, which to me was a very beautiful and refreshing sight.
After Sakkara, we went for a little drive east to Memphis, where we got to see a nice little outdoor museum which had many ancient pretty statues, including a very big one of Ramses II!
Soon after, we were taken to lunch. The place we went to had amazing food, and was located in a beautiful little event venue with very good service.
After a great and filling lunch meal, we were in the end taken back to Cairo, right at the doorstep of our hotel, which concluded our great tour for the day.
All in all, this is the best tour I have ever been on and completely exceeded my expectations. Not only did we get to see so much more than we expected, but the guide was incredibly friendly and full of all the world's knowledge, way more than I ever thought I wanted to know :)
Thank you incredibly much for an amazing day and an amazing trip!!!
Ich empfehle für diese Tour ein qualitativ hochwertiges Reiseunternehmen.
Sehr gut organisiert, vor, während und nach der Tour gut kommuniziert und hochprofessioneller und sachkundiger Reiseleiter (Wael). Er nahm sich so viel Zeit, wie wir brauchten, um jeden Ort zu genießen und sicherzustellen, dass wir die Geschichte und historische Bedeutung hinter jedem Ort vollständig verstanden haben. Unser Fahrer (Ferris) war auch außergewöhnlich. Besuchen Sie Gizeh, Saqqara und Memphis! Sie werden nicht enttäuscht sein!

Die Reise war ok, aber definitiv überverkauft. Der sogenannte Kamelritt ist ein Einsteigen und 3 Schritte gehen und Aussteigen. Der Spaziergang auf den Berg zum Sonnenuntergang war schön und dann in das Beduinenlager war schön. Der Sternenhimmel selbst… Sie befinden sich in einer großen Gruppe von 30/40 Personen und es gibt zwei Teleskope, die Sie sich mit der Gruppe teilen, sodass Sie etwa 5 Sekunden Zeit haben, um jeden Planeten zu betrachten. Das Essen war sehr gut und die Familie war sehr nett, aber es war nicht organisiert, das Essen zu bekommen ... wieder ist es eine große Gruppe, die versucht, ihr Essen auf einmal zu bekommen. Nach dem Abendessen legen Sie sich für 5 - 10 Minuten in den Sand, um die Sterne zu betrachten. Der Führer war schnelllebig, als er sprach, und das war alles, was Sie getan haben, um in die Sterne zu schauen, also war es so enttäuschend, wie es erstaunlich hätte sein können.
