An unforgettable adventure in the desert with a top agency! - I warmly recommend this agency for a unique desert experience Check-out from Cairo. Everything went perfectly, and our Guide was incredibly friendly and attentive. We explored several desert sites, with exciting Things to do like sandboarding. The camp was perfectly organized, and our Guide regaled us with a delicious meal. We had the chance to admire a beautiful sunset, followed by an equally splendid sunrise. Many thanks to the team for these memorable moments!

A dream come true! - I had wanted to do this for years and I was not disappointed. We were paired with a great couple from the US and we had a wonderful time. Our driver was very patient and pointed out the best places for the thousands of photos I took. The highlight of the night was the excellent dinner. It was the best I had eaten in a long time. A fox even visited in the night! If I can, I will do this trip again. Worth every cent.

White Desert experience - It is a tour that every tourist has to do in Egypt. A wonderful, mind-blowing experience. The local guide was very friendly and responsible. Sleeping in the middle of the desert, under a sky full of stars, next to a campfire was wonderful. I recommend it 100%.

Very good white desert tour from hotel to hotel from Cairo - We were picked up and driver came at correct time. The guide provided all information about white desert tour previous night of trip. Pickup van was good with fully AC on. It is 5-6 hours from Cairo to Siwa Oasis where there is layover place to have lunch and buy water. No water will be provided till you start your white desert trip in all wheel drive from here. The lunch was horrible-not eatable with plenty of flies on each bowl and plate. I will suggest pack your lunch from Cairo and eat that. The best part starts when you leave this layover place in all wheel drive from here. They showed many attractions black desert, crystal mountain, may be 2 more. I didn’t find anything special. The last one was white desert which I like the most. The driver prepared dinner for us which was OK no complaints. Then we slept on mattress, there was a sleeping bag which I didn’t use because it was not cold in September. It was a great experience sleeping in open under stars. We were provided with plenty of water here. You can go behind a small hill in case you need to go. The next morning our driver prepared breakfast and we came back to layover place. From there we had AC van to go to Cairo back to hotel.

It is SO worth it! - It is a trip that I will recommend because it is full, offers a unique experience and at a reasonable price that is worth paying. Our driver/tour guide (Badr) in the desert was really good, which is very important in order to make the most out of the trip! He made for us loads of delicious food (cooked by himself!) and had loads of water for us throughout the whole trip! He gave us advise where to go in every stop we made and how to be safe. I would only add 2 things. It would be nice to have somebody in the car on the way to the oasis who would say some things to us about Egypt and places we drive by. This makes the ride more interesting, and also, people get the chance to know more about the country which makes them want to explore it more. And second thing, it would be nice on the 2nd day to have a ride around Bahariya oasis itself, to see how people live, their houses, where they shop etc. However, even without these 2 elements, I don't feel like I missed out on anything. Everywhere we went was impressive and the highlight of it all was sleeping under the shooting stars and milky way :) (You can sleep in a tent if you want too, but under the open sky is something else!)

Unique experience - Our adventure began right on time with a convenient pick-up from our hotel. We were comfortably seated in a van with about a dozen fellow travelers, and the journey to the desert was smooth and enjoyable, taking around five hours. Upon arrival, we were welcomed warmly and given some time to relax and cool down. The organizer thoughtfully explained the itinerary, which included a delicious lunch to start our experience on a high note. After lunch, our group of six was paired with a knowledgeable guide, and we set off in a well-equipped jeep. The journey through the desert was absolutely breathtaking, with numerous stunning stops along the way. Each location was more beautiful than the last, showcasing the raw beauty of the White and Black Desert. A highlight of the trip was the evening: after a delightful dinner, we had the opportunity to stargaze under the clear sky. This was an extraordinary experience, made even more special by the guide's attentiveness. He went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable, helping with setting up tents and preparing our sleeping bags for the night. The next morning, we awoke to the sight of the sunrise, followed by a breakfast. The journey back home was a peaceful end to an unforgettable experience. This tour was truly unique and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking an extraordinary adventure in the desert. The combination of stunning landscapes and great organization, made it an experience we will cherish forever.
