Excellent Desert Adventure - Our recent camping trip with our guide Badr, was an absolute delight from start to finish. His impeccable driving skills ensured a smooth journey through rugged terrain, and his excellent cooking skills left us enjoying every bite. Moreover, he was very kind and allowed us enough time to take photos and enjoy the surrounding area as much as we could. He didn't rush us at all. Highly recommend this trip when in Egypt.

Unique emotions and sensations - It was an amazing experience for the mind and the heart. Landscapes that enter your soul that our guide Ahmet made us discover and appreciate. But also sporty, with sand boarding and climbing the dunes by 4x4. Camping in the White Desert cannot be described but has to be experienced, a sense of quiet and freedom great for meditating and getting rid of the stresses of daily life. Also excellent was the bbq lunch and dinner eaten in the Bedouin tradition. Also excellent was the driver Hassan, who drove me and my family, with two boys and a little girl, from Giza and brought us back and who helped us well beyond his duties to solve a trouble caused by another operator. Acting as our interpreter and valuable support.

Beautiful desert landscapes - Excellent tour, amazing landscapes and friendly staff. Definitely recommend this tour if you enjoy exploring diverse desert landscapes, sand boarding and star gazing at night next to a fire and camping in the White Desert. Bring a swimsuit to swim in the Oasis hot springs

Magical place! - The white desert is a magical place, especially at sunset and sunrise. Lunch and breakfast were simple but good, and dinner was plentiful and delicious. Drumming around the campfire with infinite stars above was so much fun. Drivers were safe and accommodating, booking was easy, and tents were comfortable. Be prepared for no bathroom facility in the desert and bring warm clothes if going during the winter.

@perfektcohenfamily adventure!!!! - Our family of six spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day traveling around the white and black deserts and it was a once in a lifetime experience. My kids went sand boarding, spent hours picking obsidian and foraging crystals. We were treated to an amazing Xmas Eve dinner inter the stars and woke to an amazing sunrise. We’re so glad we decided to do this experience and our kids made memories for a lifetime!!!

An treasured overnight stay at the Western Desert of Egypt. - The tour operator Anas came to my hotel to brief me in person about what can be expected and what needs to be brought along on the eve of the tour though I reached Cairo after my Alexandria tour past 9.30pm and his text messages were very clearly written about the essentials to be brought. This tour was the highlight of my travel to Egypt. It is a shared tour. The Bedouins who were the guide in the desert served the most delicious meal I have ever had in Egypt. Though I am a solo traveller, safety is not an issue with this tour. Anas even texted me while I was still in transit from the desert to Cairo and enquired about how did I find the tour. He made sure I got my change for the entrance fee paid for the White Desert park before I was dropped off at the hotel though it wasn’t a big deal. There are no shower or restroom facilities in the desert. So, come prepared with wet wipes etc. It gets really chilly at night and a good jacket is required. The people in my tour met as strangers in the minivan when we get picked up around Cairo and bid farewell as friends. The bonding among the group was great apart from the picturesque sceneries and a starry naked sky in pitch black darkness filled with hundreds of stars.

An amazing experience! - Everything about this trip was fantastic. Fist off they tour operater was in communication with us the whole time making she we new when and where to pick up and drop off. It was super easy and straight forward. The trip was amazing. Our driver to get there was friendly and made a few stops on the long drive to the meeting point. Lunch was good nothing special but decent. We then had a walk though of the rest of the day and the next. We then drove to a hot spring where you can get in and soak. Then to the black desert for a great photo. Next to crystal mountain which was really neat to see l. Finally to the best part the white desert. We made a few stops for looking and pictures and wow amazing l! A definite must see. We stopped to watch the sunset then went to our camping site. We had great fire roasted chicken rice and veg for dinner then sat around the fire with some local music. We chose to sleep under the stars (the best option in my opinion) but you can also choose to have a tent set up. It was not the most comfortable sleep I've ever has but the sleeping bags were super cozy and the stars made it worth while. The next day we saw more of the while desert and stopped at another hot spring. Before we met up and got back in our vans for the long ride home. This is a definite must!

Absolutely necessary - Undoubtedly an amazing experience, the white dessert is just mesmerizing, and the sunset and night sky are breathtaking. We also got the chance to try sandboarding, which was super fun. Our driver Imar (I hope I got it right) was great. He took care of everything and made us a delicious dinner. The desert is a bit far away, but it’s definitely worth it, such a unique experience.
