Are there any other tours besides the Treasures of the Nile Valley which include Saqqara - Memphis -Dashur - Faiyum - Minya - Sohag as part of the tour? I have previously done an Egypt tour with IM (Western Desert & Nile and Alexandria & Siwa Oasis) and I want to go again but I want to go to places I have not seen.
One other question - does this tour (Treasures of the Nile Valley) link up with any of the tours into Jordan? Thanks
Re: Saqqara - Memphis - Dashur - Faiyum
Hello Joanne,
Thanks for your posting!
Yes, the Treasures of the Nile Valley is the only trip we run which coverS all these slightly more off the beaten track places i am afraid.
If it is something different you are looking for, and judging by your past tour choices i am guessing you are up for something really different, in which case, i can highly reccommend the Journey to the Kingdom of Tush, Northern Sudan.
Yes you can join up the Treasures of the Nile Valley up with two of our trips to Jordan, namely the Petra to the Pyramids and the Jordan Connection, although this will depend on the dates joining up.
I hope this helps you with your plans Joanne?
Re: Saqqara - Memphis - Dashur - Faiyum
Over the December 2006, I took Imaginative's Felluca Sailtrek trip, which did not include Dashur/Saqqara/Memphis, but if you have a day or so pre or post tour, it is fairly easy to arrange. I actually arranged everything at the King Hotel, and had a great time visiting Dahshur/Saqqara/Memphis. There is a driver that works at the King Hotel named Said Mohammed, that is particularly nice and informative, and he took us to all those places. Plan for the whole day.

Hello Joanne,
I agree with Remy, it's very easy to arrange a private tour to visit these sites. All of them are well worth a visit, specially if you are wanting to take that special pic!
I have just gotten back from Egypt yesterday & visited all these sites in a taxi. Have seen them in the past but wanted to take more pics.
Hope this helps.........Debbie
