I saw the Sakura and Dashur pyramids, along with Memphis, on a half day tour with guide Sayed Mahmoud and driver Ahmed Amer that turned out to be one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Sayed organized the tour so that I had time alone in one of the Sakura tombs, he bought fresh dates for me to try, spent more time than the tour accommodated, and made this the best day I could have asked for. He even stopped so I could try Egyptian tea well past the end of the tour. Really, this is the kind of tour you always want but seldom get. Ahmed was an expert driver who was courteous and safe every step of the way. Shokran shokran shokran! I have made new friends and couldn’t have been happier with my guide, driver, and tour. Until next time habibi!
