Unforgettable experience Super organized from A (getting a quote) to Z (back at the hotel)! Only friendly and competent contacts. And our special thanks go to our guide Aladin, who made the day perfect for us! This way, we were able to get to know not only ancient Cairo but also modern-day Cairo. And all of it in an extremely pleasant and likable way! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

An unforgettable excursion! We took a personalized excursion from Marsa Alam to Luxor for 2 days. Our driver Emil was really great, polite, respectful, and very attentive to us during these 2 days. Waël, our French-speaking guide on site, taught us a lot about the history of Egypt with passion and a touch of humor. He took us to typical and delicious restaurants. The hotel booked by Memnon was simply fabulous, we had a breathtaking view of the Nile and one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. We did many visits: Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, Hatshepsut Palace, Valley of the Kings, as well as a boat ride on the Nile. And the unique and unforgettable experience: an incredible hot air balloon ride. Everything was perfect, the program, the experiences, the visits, the interactions, Emil and Waël took great care of us. If you are looking to have a unique experience, rich in discovery, you can trust Memnon with your eyes closed.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Cairo/Luxor excursion with flight Ahmed from Memnon always answered all open questions promptly via WhatsApp and was reachable. Marcos in Cairo and Malek in Luxor are both great tour guides!!! Both speak very good German, brought the history of Egypt closer to us in a vivid and exciting way, possess incredibly well-founded historical knowledge, and are, moreover, very pleasant people. We felt safe and comfortable at all times. Everything is planned super well, went smoothly, and we would do it again. Many thanks!!!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

100% satisfied! Hello Ahmed! 😊🇪🇬 Our excursion to Cairo, to the impressive pyramids and to the new Grand Egyptian Museum was simply beautiful and an unforgettable experience! We would like to give special praise to our tour guide Mohamed. He not only speaks excellent German, but also possesses overwhelming expertise in Egyptian history and mythology. With great enthusiasm and passion, he brought the fascinating history of his country closer to us. Especially during the tour of the pyramids and the new Egyptian Museum, his detailed explanations were incredibly interesting and impressive. You notice immediately: Mohamed is an Egyptian with heart and soul! 🇪🇬❤️ He lives and loves the history of his country. He is more than qualified for this task. We really could not have wished for a better tour guide! And then there is the traffic in Cairo! 😄🚗 For us as people from a small German town, just the car ride through Cairo was a huge adventure! What happens on the streets there is, from our perspective, pure madness! Cars from all sides, honking without end, and a traffic chaos at which one can only rub one's eyes in amazement as a German. One thing is certain for us, in any case: Driving in Cairo should definitely be left to the local professionals! 😅 Our driver mastered this apparent chaos with incredible calm and confidence. A big compliment for that as well! These trips were an experience in themselves for us! The entire organization was also excellent. The pickup from the hotel and the transfer to the airport worked wonderfully. We were particularly impressed by the reliability and helpfulness of your entire team. Due to our own inattentiveness, we had forgotten a jacket in the vehicle. But even this small mishap was resolved completely easily by the Memnon team. On our return trip, the driver had the jacket with him again. That is customer service as one could only wish for! For that, we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts! ❤️ Dear Ahmed, a huge thank you to you and the entire team at Memnon Reisen! You made an extraordinary and unforgettable day possible for us, which we will remember with great joy for a very long time. We can recommend Memnon Reisen 100%! Outstanding organization, first-class support, extraordinary expertise, and above all, people who do their work with heart and passion. Many, many thanks for everything! ❤️🇪🇬 Warm greetings from our whole family, Hendrik Böttger!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Thank you for this special experience! 2 days in Luxor from Marsa Alam Even beforehand, all questions were answered via an extremely friendly chat and everything was tailored to our wishes. The helpful and calm manner of our driver Emil was particularly pleasant; he was able to provide a sense of safety even on the night drive to Luxor. Our tour guide Malik - a walking encyclopedia - definitely has more answers than one could have questions. A heartfelt thank you for this special experience!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Private tour Abydos and Dendera Our driver MIDI picked up my husband and me from the hotel on time and brought us safely to our destination and back. During the drive, he constantly provided us with drinks. On the way, our guide Osama joined us, and we drove to Abydos first. The temple thrilled us very much, and we received a lot of interesting information from Osama. There were many things that were completely new to us; Osama patiently answered our questions. Afterward, we visited the temple in Dendera, which was just as magnificent and decorated with many paintings and reliefs. From our guide, we again got to see and hear a variety of details and also received information about the country and its people. To conclude, we were invited to a restaurant where there was typical Egyptian food, which tasted excellent. It was a wonderful day with many new impressions. Everything worked out great, for which we thank Midi and Osama warmly. With kind regards, C. and R. BarthelPosted on Tripadvisor![]()

An unforgettable experience It was simply great, from the pickup to the return transport everything 100%. We also had a hot air balloon ride included, that was a dream. Our private guide plus driver were so nice, took so much time, explained everything in detail but also gave us time to explore on our own. The hotel where we were accommodated for one night was also super. A bit older but very clean, the breakfast was good and the staff very friendly. All in all great, no hidden costs, no tourist trap!!!! On the contrary, Osama our guide even explained to us exactly how to deal with pushy vendors. We are planning to come back to Hurghada next year and will definitely book the trip to Cairo through Memnon Reisen then.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Very good Tour Bassam was an excellent guide; we learned a great deal about the pyramids and the city of Cairo. His knowledge and his command of the German language are outstanding. We were very satisfied. The excursion to the new Egyptian Museum was fascinating, and once again, the tour led by Bassam was superb. Our driver, Sharif, was also very kind, and his driving skills while navigating through Cairo were impressive. We were very pleased with our tour of Cairo.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Unforgettable 2-day trip with an outstanding guide! It is already our second trip with Memnon Reisen. This time we booked a two-day excursion including a flight to Cairo and are completely thrilled! A very special thank you goes to our guide Jakob. He was absolutely super nice, extremely competent, and was also able to tell us a lot and explain everything wonderfully. We especially liked that he also showed us additional things outside of the fixed program. We saw an incredible amount: from the Pyramids of Giza to the impressive Step Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, all the way to the modern GEM. The bazaar was also beautiful to see and a great experience! The driver did an incredible job in Cairo traffic! Thank you very much Organizationally, everything was perfect: The hotel was very nice and the food was delicious throughout. We felt completely comfortable and well taken care of at all times. An absolute recommendation, we would book this trip with Memnon Reisen and Jakob again anytime!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Unforgettable excursion to Luxor 🌟 10 out of 10 points – An unforgettable excursion to Luxor! 🇪🇬❤️ Our excursion to Luxor with Memmon Reisen was simply fantastic from start to finish! Everything was excellently organized, so we could enjoy the day to the fullest. A very special and huge thank you goes to our tour guide and Egyptologist Naschaat! 🙏❤️ With his incredibly deep and impressive knowledge, his passion for Egyptian history, and his wonderful, humorous manner, he made this day an absolutely unforgettable experience. Naschaat managed to bring the history of ancient Egypt to life in a way that left us amazed time and time again. There were moments when we were simply speechless, and others that literally gave us goosebumps. You can feel in every one of his words how much heart and soul and enthusiasm he puts into his work. Exactly such people turn a nice excursion into an experience that remains in your memory forever! ❤️ For us, this day was not just an excursion, but a fascinating journey into the past, full of emotions, impressive impressions, and unforgettable moments. We would book through Memmon Reisen again at any time and can wholeheartedly recommend the organizer as well as Naschaat in particular! Absolute 10/10 – it could not have been better! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you very much for this wonderful day, which we will definitely never forget! 🇪🇬❤️

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.
