Egypt Pyramids tour  

This tour is all you can ask for if what you crave is a guided tour in and around Cairo  that would not have you spending the full day or more than a day.

This guided tour is just for 9 hours, but trust us that you’d enjoy every bit of the time you spend on this tour.

The first part of this tour is an amazing 25 minutes camel ride around Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx . On getting to Giza, your first stop is the Saqqara. Saqqara Necropolis is a large burial ground that is situated near Memphis, Egypt .

Saqqara features over 10 Pyramids and other tombs and mortuaries. Some of the Pyramids in Saqqara include the following; the Pyramid of Djedkare, Pyramid of Unas, Pyramid of Userkaf, Pyramid of Teti, Pyramid of Merenre, Pyramid of Khendjer, and the popular Step Pyramid of Djoser which is the first Pyramid erected in Egypt. 

The Step Pyramid of Djoser is a 6-tier, 4-sided structure that was erected in the Third Dynasty for the burial of the first King of Third Dynasty; King Djoser. Before King Djoser reigned in Egypt, mastaba tombs were the traditional graves, but he changed that by introducing Pyramids as tombs for kings and noblemen. 

From then, your tour continues to Giza Necropolis where you would enjoy some amazing tourist sights such as the Giza Pyramid complex and the Great Sphinx.

      Flights compensation
      By Ashraf Fares June 19, 2025
      Flight disruptions are more common than most travelers expect, and when your plans are thrown into chaos, the last thing you want is to deal with confusing airline policies. Many passengers don't realize they might be entitled to monetary compensation for these issues. Whether your flight was delayed for hours or cancelled without notice, it's worth knowing your rights. If you’ve ever been placed in a lower class than you booked, you're also likely entitled to downgrade flight compensation . This applies when airlines switch your ticketed class to a lower one, and you may be eligible for a partial refund. Understanding your rights in these scenarios ensures you're not leaving money on the table

      Egypt sees a steady outflow of skilled professionals and students seeking opportunities abroad, while at the same time, it remains a destination for refugees, expatriates, and investors. In some cases, cultural and social factors also play a role, such as the increasing interest in international matchmaking services, where individuals from different countries seek life partners — like the growing trend of Russian ladies for marriage in the USA , driven by cultural curiosity and lifestyle preferences.
