Crawled inside of pyramids and experienced the historical influences that created the features of the pyramids. Saw big statues and learned hieroglyphics for significance of markings.

I loved my guides! Amina was so so sweet and she was so knowledgeable about everything we saw. She made me feel safe as a solo female and took so many pictures of me. My driver, Essam, was very nice too. I definitely recommend both of them!

This was by far the worse tour we had in Egypt, and in our lives in general. First we got stalled by the hotel owner resulting in being late by 30 mins, he kept insisting on having a second cup of coffee and that they should wait on us.
Then as soon as we got in the car, the guide (Mustafa) kept insisting that we must take a carriage to move around in the pyramids area, otherwise we would have to walk 2-3 hours with him and the driver. Complete lie.
He started by telling us the price would be 100 USD pp (the whole tour cost 60 USD pp), but then it was "not mandatory" but "we had to take it". Then he dropped the price to 150 USD for the both of us, we kept telling him we did not want to take it nor we had the budget for this ridiculous price he kept insisting until he dropped the price to 20 USD pp. We did not fall into his trap, we used our two feet instead.
And this was the "welcoming" to the tour.
He scammed us with the "entrance" of one of the queen pyramids, he made us pay 100 LE to enter which we knew it was a scam we just didn't feel it was worth discussing it further.
He also tried to scam us with lunch which he insisted it was not included in the price we paid. I had to call the hotel and verify that it was indeed included. The tour had two visits in shops which we were not informed and as we were running out of time we proposed not going to the shops and continue to the sites, but he could "control time" and make sure we visit all the sites without neglecting blaming us for being late and for wanting to take pictures.
So spending as much time as we wanted in the shops was okay whereas spending 10 seconds in taking a picture was a big problem.
While eating lunch, he finished first and just stood in front of us while we were still eating making us feel extremely uncomfortable.
Then we went to Saqqara and Memphis but really I cannot recall ANYTHING from those sites because it was so rushed, the guy was talking as fast as he could and of course we couldn't understand anything at all.
We reached Dashur Pyramid literally running because it was 15:57 and the closing time is at 16:00. We gave the keeper a small tip (much smaller than what we paid for the queen pyramid - which is by far smaller) for letting us go inside the pyramid.
He kept telling us it was our fault for being late and for spending too much time around the sites taking pictures, but of course, he was not responsible for anything not even when I asked not to visit the shops because we didn't have time, but no, he could control time and take us to all the sites. So what is the point of going if you don't have time to breathe.
He completely ruined the experience for us, we were really looking forward visiting those sites and this attitude really left us with a bitter taste. We did not get to enjoy visiting the sites for which Egypt is most famous for. And really the whole experience in this country was painted by failure in most aspects and I wouldn't recommend to any one visiting.
