A must do trip for extraordinary adventure - it is NOT Egypt that everyone expects! - Owing to change in circumstance, I was unable to take a two day tour, and instead opted for a one day tour. Communication with Amir was simply excellent, and arranging for pick up in Nasser City so straightforward.
The one day was a long day - in total collected at 0600 and returned at 0100. I really wished I had been able to stretch the time and made it a two day trip, but there we are.
As for the trip - in summary:
Journey out/back - safe driver on desert roads; never felt anxious. I have lived and worked in Egypt, and as a UK person, can be twitchy about these journeys.
Meals provided - basic and nutritious; but, not the highest standard of Egyptian cuisine. I was not there for a food tour, and no one complained. In review, it was all okay.
Black Desert - extraordinary, but do your own research prior to getting there. Sites have no interpretation, and the tour guides are drivers. If you want to enjoy the views, it is enough, if you want more information then prepare.
White Desert - again an incredible landscape, and the 4x4 Safari through it was a memory of adventure. The whole experience of rocking about in the jeep, travelling with others through sand fields, the horizon and the landscapes was simply superb!
WAS IT VALUE FOR MONEY - yes! Pricey, but the value was there to be seen
WOULD I GO AGAIN - absolutely, I will. Next time, I will aim to camp over on the 2 Day Trip

Best experience in Egypt - Incredible trip to the White desert! It's a long trip in the same day from Cairo but with White Desert Travel you will travel in new and comfortable cars that will make you have a pleasant run.
Also we needed support for other plans in Cairo and they helped us a lot to have an incredible journey in Egypt. Their drivers are very patient and make you feel happy all the time, and also very safe!

A Thrilling Adventure on the Sand Dunes - The tour agent exceeded my expectations by arranging a sand boarding excursion during my trip. The instructors were knowledgeable and patient, providing us with helpful tips that made gliding down the dunes a breeze. This unique experience was both exhilarating and unforgettable, adding an extra layer of excitement to my vacation. I highly recommend trying sand boarding for anyone looking for a thrill-seeking adventure.

Communication is fast and accurate, and the place is beautiful. - In private, I requested Fayum instead of Bahariya.
The response was quick and friendly and communication was very smooth.
If you don't see what you want in the product being sold, there is a separate way to inquire.
If I had time, I think I would have applied for Bahariya here as well.
I recommend it to Koreans~!

The form is crazy - I saw all the view points around the Black Desert and White Desert. We were camping in the White Desert, and around 6 PM, the sun had completely set and we could see the quiet desert. The romance was crazy as we lit a bonfire and ate dinner prepared by a Bedouin man. I slept outside in my sleeping bag while watching the stars pouring down in the night sky. Since pictures don't capture the wonderful natural scenery, I recommend capturing it with your own eyes.

White desert is sooooo nice, but you need to confirm your tour details to staff - The White Desert itself is a very nice place, so it's worth going. However, there is a problem with this tour company staff. After you book this tour, please confirm the reservation details to the tour company staff who contact you by WhatsApp.
I booked a private one-day tour through Viator, but due to a mistake of the tour company, I was put on a two-day desert camp group tour.
I got explanation of tour introduction at safari camp, after driving 5 hrs from Cairo. Then I found they merge me to different tour. I talked with the tour staff about this trouble, and they arranged car for the return trip when the group plans for the first day were over. There was no choice. I arrived at Cairo 3 am.
I am grateful that the driver who drove midnight. And all staff at Safari camp were good.
Since the process is different for 1 day tours and overnight tours, I couldn't visit to Baharia Oasis. It's so sad.
When I complained about this through Viator, tour agent changed my Viator reservation status to "canceled" to make me don't leave review. I'm really discouraged about this dishonest and impolite response. Please note any low review are hidden by such a underhanded.
The White Desert and drivers are rated ★★★★★, but the company staff is not.
