The tour of the Sakkara, Citadel and the Museum was simply wonderful. Brought to life by the vast amount of knowledge by our tour guide Khaled. He directed us to the main pieces in the Museum and enhanced the viewing with facts which distinguished the different periods in the history of Egypt. Provided us a with knowledge of the Pyramids and how they were constructed and how areas around them were rediscovered over time.
We highly recommend Egypt Tour Guide
