My daughter and I visited in Egypt in early January and organised a half day tour with Your Egypt tours to visit Sakkara and Memphis. We had a wondeful time and our guide, Taha, was fantastic. He was a fountain of knowledge and made the experience come to life. The tour ran very effiently and we were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. We would highly recoomend anyone going to Egypt to take a tour with Your Egypt tours.
