" Lifetime experience with Memphis "

I am really happy that i visited Cairo, Egypt with Memphis Tours. If not for Memphis Tour i would never feel more comfortable and happy on this tour. I thank you Memphis for provided a wonderful guide and making us feel at home and completely changing my concept of Egypt from negative to positive. Personal tour guide was excellent, transport excellent and to cut short all of your staff too caring and wonderful. I would advice all my friends and family and people reading this to take a service of Memphis Tour and enjoy your tour and you will not regret.

Thank you Memphis tour again for giving us all a excellent experience and memories we will cherish for life:)

Miss You all and promise to visit again......

" Memphis tours makes Cairo as comfortable as possible "

We researched several companies prior to selecting Memphis Tours. They seemed to have the best prices and the most responsive and thorough communications pre-arrival. We requested the comprehensive full service airport to airport handling. Our Driver Mokstafa did a fine job of maneuvering the chaotic Cairo traffic while minimizing our anxiety. Our Guide Maha is a fine communicator with an easily understood voice and a 4 year degree in the antiquities. We had a body guard who is a member of the tourist police with us as we were touring as well. Even though there were protests at the square while we were there, we would never know it from our tours. I believe we got the whole tour for less than what we would have paid for the hotel stays. Now is the time to go as there are NO crowds. Tourism from around the world is down to 5% of what it was 2 years ago. You will be welcomed with open arms. As in many 3rd world countries, you yearn for their success as they struggle with lack of services such as trash removal and street cleaning. Tourism has been much of their economy in the past. Let's help them by getting it going again.
