Overview of your Cairo tour

Each time I go to the Pyramids I say to myself "what an enormous structure", especially the Step Pyramid at Sakkara the first stone-structure ever known by man-made They were built during a time when Egypt was one of the richest and most powerful civilizations in the world. The pyramids are some of the most magnificent man-made structures in history. Their massive scale reflects the unique role that the pharaoh, or king, played in ancient Egyptian society. Then we will drive further to Dahshur to show you how the architects changed the angle of the pyramids gradually and show you the Red Pyramid and the Bent Pyramid and why it's called the Bent Pyramid, and why the outer casing started to collapse. Then will go to Memphis which played the role of financial and political center for Egypt during the Old until New Kingdom, about more than 3000 years BC. I will show you an amazing museum with one piece only, so you can imagine why?

We, 2 couples who visited Egypt, highly recommend Sherine. She is very knowledgeable, friendly, very well-organized. We were impressed with her professionalism. She made our visit to just opened GEM not a misery as many people experienced on that day, but very enjoyable. We avoided crowds only because of Sherine. It was an amazing experience. During our visit to Giza, Sakkara and Memphis, she was giving us time to wander and absorb the artifacts, take great photos and allowing us to proceed at a steady pace without exhausting anyone. We highly recommend Sherine - Thanks so much, Sherine!

I spent nearly a week with Sherine going to all manner of places from the pyramids & GEM to Cairo Coptic Quarter and Alexandria. She is a fabulous guide. Her knowledge of Egypt and all the ancient history is outstanding and her English is spoken like a native. Sherine's communication was responsive and she was all too happy to tailor the tours to my specific interests, including a visit to the El Alamein Commonwealth War Cemetery, a Nile dinner cruise and the pyramids sound and light show. Sherine arranged my airport transfers and I felt safe driving with her driver in the chaotic Cairo traffic. And she was always on time. I cannot recommend Sherine highly enough and will definitely use her again on my next visit to Egypt.

She is a font of knowledge about Ancient Egypt and all of the sites. But also a kind and caring person, ensuring my shy 21 yr old daughter saw everything, answered all of questions, and was always checking with her. It was just two of us and it was the best way to see the sites. She also took us to see sites that large groups don't go to like Dashur. I lost my phone at Giza and she spent the evening calling her colleague and the police to help me recover it. We booked 4 days with Sherine. Amazing guide.

Sherine is an excellent Guide. She speaks excellent English and is very knowledgeable. She is also very friendly and concerned about our comfort. Her driver was also excellent.

This is a fabulous day trip from Cairo and our guide, Sherine, was great! We went to the great pyramids earlier as part of our larger group tour, but all four of us found the less well known pyramids more interesting. The crowds are next to non-existent at these pyramids giving you and sense of solitude and calmness that you don't get at the great pyramids. Sherine is very knowledgeable about the sites and took us to a restaurant with delicious Egyptian food on the way back. Highly recommended!
