Giza Pyramids & Sphinx day trip

We had a great tour with Egyptologist Mido. He explained about the concept of the old Egypt and farao's. It was very interesting and he knows a lot about the history of Egypt. We went by car to the pyramids (nice with airco, so we could cool down because it was hot!) and Mido took great pictures. He arranged a camel ride to the view point and we went to the Sfinx and temple. Next stop was the papyrus shop which was interesting. We had a great time with Mido and we will recommend his tour!

Easily are favorite tour during our stay in Egypt! If only all tour guides could be like Mido and all drivers be like Sharif! We went on this tour on our first day in Egypt. Mido and Sharif promptly picked us up at our hotel at 8 am. From there we went to the Pyramids. We enjoyed amazing views while Mido explained their history and entertained our daughter. Mido acted as our private photographer, getting all our good angles. We added a camel ride to our trip which cost 500 EGP each. We also had the option of going into the Pyramids, or going on a horse and cart but my daughter was desperate to ride a camel. The camel ride was a little shaky but we got amazing views. Next, we went to a Papyrus shop where they taught us the ancient art of papyrus making in Egypt, we bought a few pictures and had our daughter's name written in hieroglyphics on one of them. We then had a choice of 2 museums, the Egyptian Museum or the Civilization Museum, we chose the latter. We also had the choice of visiting an aromatherapy clinic/shop, however by this point, our daughter was very tired! In all, the trip was amazing, and it was a great way to start our Egyptian holiday. Mido was very attentive, making sure to stop off regularly for drinks and checking we were okay. Noticing our daughter was getting a bit hot, he also bought her an ice lolly. We will miss Mido and Sharif very much and would recommend them to anyone, especially with young children.

Easily my favourite guided tour in Egypt. Mido picked e up earlier than requested and was with me all the way through. He provided enough explanation and allowed me to develop the understanding of the history behind Egypt as I delve into more questions. He was not only passionate but also very friendly with his time and knowledge. Thank you Mido! I'll also add that Mido knows how to take some solid photos. In the case that you don't have one, he'll easily be able to take photos as you need. Knowledge, passionate and strong photographer with an easy going driver made my trip around the pyramids to be painless and smooth. Thank you! ????
