Why Book Your Egypt Excursions with Memnon Reisen?
Egypt can be explored in many ways — but the difference between a crowded group-bus excursion and a private Egypt excursion is enormous. With Memnon Reisen, you never share your vehicle with strangers on a packed bus moving from site to site. You get a private air-conditioned vehicle, a fully flexible pace, and an English-speaking Egyptologist guide dedicated exclusively to you and your group.
Private Excursion vs. Group Excursion — The Difference
On typical group excursions, the organiser decides the pace, the route and how long you stay at each stop — often including compulsory stops at perfume or papyrus shops, the well-known "shopping stops". With a private Memnon Reisen excursion, none of that applies:
- No group bus, no travelling with strangers
- No compulsory shopping stops at partner stores
- Flexible pick-up directly from your Red Sea hotel
- Private, licensed Egyptologist guide — in English, German, French or Spanish
- Adjustable pace: more time at the sites that matter to you
Our Offer at a Glance
Our Egypt excursions cover the country's must-see destinations: day trips to Cairo to the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum; private tours to Luxor for the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple; multi-day trips to Aswan with Abu Simbel and the High Dam; and excursions departing directly from the Red Sea coast — snorkeling trips, desert safaris and city tours from Hurghada, El Gouna, Makadi Bay, Safaga and Marsa Alam. For those with more time, several destinations can be combined into a multi-day private round trip or a classic Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan.
Whether it's a single-day excursion or a two-week round trip, all our private Egypt excursions are organised to your requirements, with transparent pricing and no hidden costs, plus WhatsApp support even after you've booked.
Reviews of our tourists
Magdy gave us an unforgettable day at the Pyramids, the Egyptian Museum, and a Nile cruise.
We were guided through the bazaar, and the driver chauffeured us safely.
All in all, an unforgettable day. The pick-up and return journey from Hurghada to Cairo, and vice versa, were also superbly organized.
At first, every offer looks the same except for the price, but when you look deep into the details, the differences become clear. For big groups like ours, Memnon organizes private tours in high-quality vehicles like the Toyota Coaster (which looked brand new), provides refreshments, and hires drivers who are professional and experienced. This made the 22-hour round trip much more positive than expected.
The focus of our excursion was on the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, and the new Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), which is where Hani the Egyptologist really shines. He was exactly what our group needed: calm, charming, knowledgeable, and highly efficient at navigating the sites. He was perhaps a bit too realistic at times, given that we had six teenagers familiar with some of the unsolved pyramid mysteries, but with only a few hours to cover thousands of years, the facts must come first—and there were plenty of those to cover.
Lunch at the Royal Lotus restaurant was a very decent buffet option—honestly, a very clean and solid choice. We didn’t expect à la carte, of course, and the proximity to the GEM was a big plus (just a couple of minutes away).
The newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) is an absolute must-see, offering an incredible, climate-controlled journey through history that culminates in the first-ever complete display of Pharaoh Tutankhamun’s 5,000 golden treasures. Between the soaring Grand Staircase and the massive glass walls framing a perfect view of the Giza Pyramids, this state-of-the-art complex feels like a modern temple. We were certainly right to choose the agency that includes the GEM as a default part of the tour, unlike many others.
To cut a long story short, the trip to Cairo with Memnon Reisen was very well organized in every aspect, and we would gladly use their services again.
From the beginning I contact this company, they replied quickly, polite and clear program.
The price was also reasonable.
One day before D-day, they contacted me with useful info and reminder. Good attention.
At D day, everything was perfect.
Good drivers (they sent 2 drivers since this was long journey)
They are polite, good attitude and good driving skills.
The guide was original Egyptian (Egyptology) and he had good knowledge.
We are happy to book and have service from Memnon
Good job 👍👍👍
Our guide Ali was there to meet us. Ali spoke really good English which we really appreciated. The tour itself was amazing. Ali knows his stuff as he is an official Egyptologist. Ali explained all about the lower, middle and higher kingdoms and took us on a journey through them with the locations, mummification and art. I would highly recommended this tour operator as was first class. Going back was easier as you can leave at any time with no convoy. Lunch and admission fees were also included.
I would particularly like to highlight the performance of Mr. Malek, who was my guide. He has a lot of knowledge and is extremely kind and helpful.
I can only recommend this trip!
We have already booked 2 trips with Memnon, the last trip in December 2024. We drove from Hurghada to Luxor to see the Valley of the Kings and other sights. We booked a private trip because we wanted to be completely flexible in our decisions. We were picked up at the hotel by 2 drivers. @Toni and @Akram. They spoke German and English and drove us to Luxor very safely. We also found it very good that the drivers could take turns. In Luxor we had an excellent tour guide who gave us an interesting insight into the history of Egypt.
We had a great day and can 100% recommend Memnon.
The highlight of the day was our tour guide, Gerges. His deep knowledge and fascinating insights really brought the history to life. We got to see the stunning temples and tombs, having priority access made the experience so much more enjoyable.
Even though Luxor is a busy tourist spot, Gerges managed to take us to quieter spots, giving us a more peaceful and intimate experience. The facts he shared were so unique and impressive, with details that you just wouldn't find in a guidebook. I can’t recommend this tour enough—it was worth every penny and more!
Memnon proposed a journey based on our interests and their historical and local knowledge and adjusted it to our individual preferences
All for a fair price. Completely stress free. Everything functioned perfect. Strongly recommeded for couples, families, some friends who want no show, but the real stuff and are not familiar with Egypt.
We are individual travelers. This was our first organised sightseeing holiday / round trip and I am convinced it was the absulutely right joice for Egypt.
That does not mean, that I would not make some individual adaptions und changes or alterations, as I would after every holiday, but that would mainly be to visit more points of interest.
We then booked the private tour to Luxor as a group (4 people) and the tour to Abydos and Dendera for two people. Both times we were picked up on time in clean vehicles by very, very nice drivers and brought safely to our destination. Osama was our guide on both days and conveyed his comprehensive knowledge to us in a lively manner in perfect German. He had an answer to every one of our questions and was always warm and friendly.
The private tours allowed us to see the temples before the crowds, which is highly recommended.
We can wholeheartedly recommend Memnon Reisen and will definitely book with them again on our next holiday to Egypt.
Hello from Pickalbatros Palace.
We had a really fantastic boat tour today with probably the best tour guide in all of Egypt, Achmed. He looked after us well at every second, enriched us with very interesting information and there was really nothing here that we were missing in any way.
The boat tour included 3 guided snorkeling trips of 40 to 60 minutes on beautiful reefs north of Hurghada. When we arrived at the third spot, we were able to admire the west side of the Fanadir Reef for a good hour on our own, if we wished, alone. We were looked after perfectly throughout the day by our tour guide and the boat team and never had the feeling of being rushed. The food was also very good and I can say that after a total of 6 trips in 2 years, this was the most beautiful trip with a fantastic team.
In the future, we will only book our excursions through Memnonreisen and wish everyone who does the same a lot of fun on their next trip. Thank you dear team and hopefully see you soon.
Robert and Jule 🙂
Very professional coordination via WhatsApp before and after the excursion, pickup at the hotel and the excursion itself - everything was great. We recommend.
Price of the trip was convenient.
We had unforgettable experiences. We are planning next year another trip to Cairo.
They were 24 hour responsive, they provide information about everything, were always 100% punctual! The transfers were amazing and the drivers were so nice.
Our experience in Luxor was absolutely perfect! The hot air balloon ride was a one in a life time experience: watching the sunrise over the Valley of the Kings and the Nile, breath taking. Our guide (Atif) explained EVERYTHING in detail and answered every question, he was just the best. And we got to enjoy 1 hour in the Nile boat all by ourselves! It was so relaxing. Our driver (Michael) was always asking if we needed cool water and snacks (that were available throughout the whole tour).
If you visit Egypt you can trust Memnon Raisen for great experiences and great services!
