I would just like to write a quick review of this very helpful and informative company. I sent an email last week asking a few questions regarding a private tour to the pyramids from Sharm, I was sent a reply very quickly from Ahmed, who was extremely helpful(which makes a nice change) I have now booked with them and i'm travelling on 12th May, I'm very much looking forward to it, if the tour is anything like the treatment i've had up until now i'll be a very happy lady !!

“Memphis Tours - Fantastic and Well Organised”
Elsa40, 10/28/10
Just returned from a holiday in Sharm El Sheikh and we booked the Cairo By Air Tour prior to leaving the UK. From the offset the service given by Mohamed Sakr in the Office was very good and professional and then on arrival in Egypt by Mosin, Naeme, Zezoo and Zac was absolutely fantastic. We would have no hesitation in booking with Memphis Tours again and also recommending this to anyone else thinking of visiting the Great Pyramids and Sphynx, well worth a visit. A particularly big thank you to Naeme and Zac who looked after us so very well in Cairo.

I booked a day trip to Cairo flying from Sharm El Sheikh months before we actually visited Egypt. Upon arrival I wondered if I should have waited as there were so many tour companies offering good deals and advice and I would have had a point of contact should any problem arise. Well I needn't have worried as from start (4.30am!!) to finish Memphis tours staff accompanied us every step of the way right back to the hotel (except the flights of course!) Our guides and driver could not have made our experience any better. We had a fantastic day including visiting the pyramids, Egyptian museum, Coptic Cairo, lunch, a Feluuca ride on the Nile, shopping and drinks at the famous bazaar (mint tea recommended!) Our eyes were opened and we learnt so much from our knowledgable Egyptologist, not the easiest of tasks with two children too!!
I would like to extend a HUUUUUUGE thank you to Mohamed Sakr, Abd El Fatah Mohamed, "My name is Mohamed" Raffat Margany (Mr Popular!!) and our amazing driver - whose name I don't know sorry :(
I have already begun recommending your company to friends visiting Egypt and have no doubt I will use you again in the future.
Thanks again for a truly memorable day for all the right reasons
“Excellent trip to Cairo”

We went to Cairo as a day trip with Memphis tours and they were so helpful and very easy to get along with. We were picked up from our hotel in sharm el sheikh at 5.30 and taken to the airport and then picked up in Cairo. Both the transfers we in air conditioned cars and both driver were very nice. We were taken to the museum and our guide spoke very good English so we understood everything he said, then we were taken to a buffet lunch which was included in the price and this was a nice meal. We then went to the Pyramids again with the same guide who told us lots about all the sites. I would definitely recommend Memphis tours they are very helpful and nice guys.

Memphis Tours made our trip

Memphis tours were EXCELLENT from start to finish!!
The website is clear and easy to use and has excellent details about each trip, and with the Live Help function booking was made very easy with the help of Yosri Abd Allah (Memphis Tours) who guided me through each step and was there to help whenever needed. Yosri sent all the confirmation emails as soon as he could and ensured the booking process was easy and simple.
Altogether we booked two trips with Memphis. We booked a trip to Cairo by flight from Sharm, and also a Bedouin Camel Safari and meal in the desert.
In the morning we were picked up from our hotel by two very friendly and helpful gentlemen from Memphis who drove us to Sharm Airport in our private air conditioned vehicle. They guided us through the airport checkin procedures and waitied until we were all safely checked in and heading to the departure lounge. At the other end in Cairo, we were met by Nabil Abaza, who with his driver took us from the airport in the Centre of Cairo. On the way Nabil was very very friendly and knowlageble about Cairo as we drove through. On the way to the museum we stopped to take some pictures on a bridge over the river nile at Nabils suggestion.
When we arrived at the museum we were met by our own personal Egyptologist, Nabil 2 :) who showed us around the museum and told us about the most important pieces. Nabil 2, then accompanied us to a local Papyrus museum and perfumery, then took us to a lovely restaurant for lunch overlooking the Pyramids of Giza. Later after lunch he took us into the pyramid area and toured us around all three pyramids and told us all about them. We then ventured inside the 2nd Pyramid.
After the pyramids we moved to the Sphinx area and learned about the history further into the Platuea. Later in the afternoon Nabil 2 took us to the local market to do some haggling!!
In the evening we were met again by Nabil 1 from the airport where he took us for drinks at a local cafe, then onto the Sound and Light show at the pyramids.
All in all the day was perfect and both Nabil, Nabil 2 and our driver were really helpful through the day and really looked after us!
Our experience of the Memphis staff was then hightened when we were then met by more staff who took us into the Desert and on camel safari to a Bedouin village. After our safari under the starlight, we sampled a bedoiun dinner and entertainment from the locals.
To some up, Memphis tours made our holiday and our trips excellent. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wishes to tour anywhere in Egypt.

super service

During the Easter holidays we were staying in Sharm El Sheikh and Memphis Tours organised a day return trip to Cairo by plane for my 7 year old son and myself. In Cairo we visited the Egyptian museum including the children's section and the Pyramids at Giza. I booked the tour whilst still in the UK and found the whole booking process very straight forward. Staff at Memphis Tours (including those who arranged the tour, the drivers and the guide/rep) were courteous, punctual and helpful. I look forward to using this company again in the future.
Good trip from Sharm to Cairo for 1 day tour
tannedsam, 4/26/10
We got picked up from our hotel and taken to the airport in the memphis mini bus, the guy took us all the way to the check in desk and made sure we were ok to get on the flight. We were met at the other end by another memhis mini bus. I booked before I left for holiday online and paid 100 Euro deposit with 300 left to pay.
On arrival they asked us to pay the remaining money, but all the paperwork had all this about paying by credit card with a letter from your bank etc. Anyway they told us we had to pay in cash, no other choice. So i had to withdraw the money and hand in that day, there went all my spending money as I was hoping it was going on the credit card for the next month!
Trip was fantastic, we (me and my boyfriend) were the only ones in the bus, and had our own personal tour guide for the day.
The price was the same as what our tour guide was selling with the same inclusions so we could have gone with either. It just meant I knew we were going and what day before we left.
He took us to some extra places as we had some spare time so we saw the egyptian cotton factory and a papyrus factory which werent mentioned on the itinary.
Very well organised and a fantastic trip, I would recommend going and seeing it all. Feel I have now ticked the box so no need to go again but great thing to have done. Lunch that was included was very much like the all inclusive we were getting at the hotel, same rice and chicken mass produced thing, some soup and desserts on offer and bread. Was nice, but I was bored of that food from my hotel!
Still mcdonalds at cairo airport on the way back was there if we needed it

Cairo trip from Sharm with Memphis
Aldave1970, 4/23/10
I booked a trip with Memphis having read the reviews on line. I was a little cautious about doing so with it being on line, but having completed the trip with them would have no difficulties doing the same again! Indeed I recommended them to someone upon our return that I understand booked with them straight away!
Their contact staff (Fatima) was fantastic! I contacted her late in the night (UK time) and got responses back within a very short time!
We were picked up when arranged, the guide was fantastic in Cairo and the day was very well co-ordinated. My son, aged 6, constantly asked the guide questions which were all dealt with perfectly.
I woulds have no hesitation recommending them again. Indeed when I return to Egypt later this year (ash clouuds allowing), time allowing, I will be asking them to arrange another trip for me!!!

“Marvellous Memphis!”
Suze_77London, 3/17/10
All good things you read about Memphis Tours are true! My boyfriend and I enjoyed a one week holiday to Sharm El Sheikh, but wanted to see some culture and the real Egypt, so we chose a day trip to Cairo by flight. It was a long day (5am pick up from our hotel) but we visited the pyramids, sphinx, museum, bartered in the local markets and much more. We were joined by two Finnish girls, so the tour felt highly personal and exclusive, not like a bus load of tourists. Our guide was very knowlegeable and friendly, and by the time our driver dropped us off at Cario airport in the evening, it felt like saying goodbye to old friends. The staff at Memphis enjoy their jobs and meeting people, and it really shows. Reliable, efficient and trustworthy. Great experience.
