Most people who travel independently to Egypt will still be better off arranging day or half day tours to most sight seeing areas. Such tours can be arranged from most hotels, or the hundreds of travel agencies scattered about downtown Cairo. Larger hotels will frequently have more then one tour operator available. While one may visit areas such as the Khan el-Khalili Bazaar, or the Citadel within Cairo very inexpensively by Taxi, the same does not hold true for tours of Saqqara and Memphis, for example, outside of Cairo. For this, companies such as Misr Travel offer half and full day tours, including guides at very reasonable prices. For example, Misr Travel Company's half day tour of Memphis and Saqqara is about $40.00, while a full day trip into the Fayoum and Lake Qarun is $65.00, and can be arranged from most hotels.
