Best Time in Bahariya Oasis! - Had a great time at the Bahariya Oasis with Marwan! His English was great, he had an incredible sense of humor, kept me well informed, offered to take several (incredible) photos in all the right spots, and seems wise beyond his years. The driver, Ahmed, was a very talented & experienced driver. He expertly handled the vehicle through the Oasis. He made it adventurous without feeling unsafe. He was jovial and had a great attitude. The experience itself will be with me for a lifetime! Thank you so much!!

One night sleeping under the stars in the awe-inspiring White Desert - My partner and I went on an overnight excursion to the White Desert, accompanied by our guide Omar Saleh. The White Desert is absolutely stunning, and before reaching it, there are a few stops in the Black Desert, which also offers a hauntingly beautiful landscape. Camping overnight in the White Desert is a truly peaceful and lovely experience—with the sky full of stars and complete silence all around you. Dinner and breakfast, prepared on-site by the desert drivers, were delicious, and the fact that it was homemade added a special touch to the whole experience. The journey from Cairo to the White Desert is quite long. First, you drive for over four hours, and then switch to a jeep to reach the desert and make there some stops. Just before changging the vehicle, there's a break for lunch and refresh. Make sure to ask for a stop during the long drive—even if it's just to stretch your legs, use the toilet, or grab a snack. On the way back, if we hadn’t asked, they wouldn’t have offered to stop. Other than that, we did miss having a bit more explanation about what we were seeing in the desert —like map references, some basic geological facts, or interesting stories about the deserts. That said, it doesn’t take away from how breathtaking the landscapes and nature are. We felt safe and relaxed at all times. Oh, and a heads-up: be careful with some of the hot springs—they left a few stains on our swimsuits, possibly metallic, so you might want to bring an old one just in case.

Special night in the white desert. - Spending a night in the desert was a wonderful experience. Our guide, Mohammed (Italian), was very kind to us and made us feel like family. He's a very nice person, very friendly, and he also took some great photos of us. The food at the camp was incredible, and the entire staff was very welcoming. We're grateful for everything.

An unforgettable experience - This excursion is one of those experiences you never forget, unique and very special. My guide Mohamed Italian is a wonderful person, friendly, attentive and extremely helpful and close. He has done everything possible to make sure we had an unforgettable trip without skimping on anything, we have felt very comfortable both myself and my partner throughout the trip. All meals have been very good, complete and especially homemade. I recommend 100%, this is a mandatory excursion if you come to Egypt.

At the top, great organization - A very nice experience with a tailor-made organization for a week thanks to Hoda: pyramids, museum, old Cairo, the 2 days in the desert, saqqara and all transfers, until the night train to Luxor on the last day. Concentrate at the top. Guides Ahmed and Al Ghalban were perfect: good humor, kindness and humor. And the very professional drivers. Very good value for money. I recommend.

best adventure - We chose this tour because we wanted an adventure and what came out of it was memories that we will cherish forever. Everyone was welcoming, professional and friendly. We had the best guide we could ever ask for, Osama. He was kind and had always so many facts to share! We could feel that he is passionate about his work and transmitting his love for egyptology. We had the chance to see so many landscapes that were out of this world. Our bedouin driver Dohy was so friendly and cooked us a wonderful meal when we arrived in our camp in the white desert. Our adventure was perfect and everything was well organized. We could bath in a natural oasis in the desert (hot spring), see the blackest stones in the black desert and the natural crystals in the crystal mountains. We even did sand sandboarding which felt like out of a dream. I couldn’t recommend a better tour than this one! If you are thriving for adventure you are on the right place.

Great experience - Ezzat was extremely helpful in organising our tours. Once I had booked this overnight camping trip Ezzat also helped to organise our 3 night Nile tour. He was always available to help online and able to change or adapt anything we needed. It was great to have that support prior to our holiday. Our Nile cruise guide Mansour and Desert camp guide Mo were great, very informative and fun. Great tours and a great tour company!

Incredible sunset and sunrise in the white desert - We enjoyed a trip full of incredible scenery. Traverse a unique place like the white desert in 4x4, camp there and spend the night in the moonlight has been an unforgettable experience. We were joined by Omar Saleh, a lovely boy, always attentive so that we enjoyed our trip to the fullest. The desert boys are wonderful! They took us by Jeep, prepared camp, fire, dinner and enlivened the night with music from their land. I would definitely recommend this adventure!

A journey of dreams - The tour was spectacular, it was an unforgettable experience that we would repeat again. The Bedouins were super nice and our guide Kamalito made us enjoy the experience. I highly recommend it if you want to take a not so touristic and very nice experience

Black and white desert - Great desert, we visited with the best guide we have had in Egypt, Mohamed. It made us feel at home as well as helping us with anything we needed. Highly recommended. Great person and great professional. If we come back, we'll ask about him.
