Within this complex, delve into Zoser's structure, the open court, and both the southern and northern buildings symbolizing Egypt's regions. Roam the mortuary temple and pyramid entrance. This pioneering stone structure, shaped as a pyramid with six tiers, stands as the first of its kind. King Zoser, reigning for 29 years, oversaw its construction. It's worth noting that the original walls, while built during the complex's inception, now occupy valuable space.

Sep 8, 2023I consider myself (relatively) well-traveled and hire private tour guides whenever possible to better understand where I’m visiting. Our guide, Youssa, was one of the best guides I’ve ever had. Full stop. He’s professional, knowledgeable, extremely kind, and has a good sense of humor. It’s very clear he has a passion for Egyptology and makes his explanations accessible for all audiences. We loved our time with him so much that when we went back to Cairo later in the week, we had a second day with him to see more sights! Additionally, the transfers involved were smooth and he explained the city and sights to us as we traveled from location to location. I’ve already referred a good friend for his services for her honeymoon. Don’t forget Egypt is very much a tipping culture all around! Have cash and take care of those where it makes sense. Lastly, don’t hesitate to book Youssa! Five stars! 10/10!

Sep 8, 2023Hussein was a brilliant and pronominal guide (Egyptologist). Our day was awesome! Spent the morning at the museum where he showed his expertise on Egyptian history. Had an outstanding lunch, visited a real papyrus manufacturer, essential oils business, afternoon at the Pyramids and sphinx. Couldn’t have dreamed of a more perfect day and experience. Hussein was outstanding with our kids (9 and 12) and delivered/captured some of our family’s most cherished photos from our adventure. Highly recommend and will never forget this once in a life time trip.

Sep 8, 2023Best Day trip ever. What an incredible day! I’ve been to Egypt a few times & this tour is always one of my favorites & I think that you’d be hard pressed to find a more informative or fun guide than Ali. If I could give this 10 stars I would.
