The area of Meidum is located 75 km south of Giza and it is one of the magical and forgotten places in Egypt.The unique design of the pyramid of medium is overwhelming.

We hired our guide for a full day of private touring the next day. The boat trip itself was awesome! His knowledge of Turkey's Ottoman history and storytelling was incredible! He added interesting details, dates, and anecdotal information and answered my husband's thousands of questions! As a private tour guide, he was amazing as well- our tour was highly personal, well planned, and comprised a full day including lunch and tea.

Electric bike rental - 1 day

"I am very satisfied with the service. I rented an eBike for a period of one week. The price was completely acceptable, the staff met me and gave me very good advice on which bike to rent according to my expectations.
La Pierre turned out to be a complete hit. The bike was excellent and very well maintained. The bike has good autonomy. Of course, the autonomy that the bike displays is nowhere near real, but I managed to get to San Remo and back in one day, which is over 120 kilometers. Keep in mind that I am a cyclist, so I cycled that day with very little assistance. Even with a higher level of assistance, the bike easily covered 60 kilometers in very strong wind and with very serious uphills.
If you want to visit the Cote d'Azur, this is the way to go. Just some of the places I visited are: Monaco, Antibes, Cannes, Village of Eze, Col d'Eze, Villefranche-sur-Mer..."
