Incredible Experience - We booked this tour in 2023 and travelled in June 2024. We were picked up promptly in Cairo at 7am by Awad, who was friendly and drove sensibly. We had an entire minibus to ourselves for the 4 hour journey from Cairo to Bahariya. Here, we met with our guides Ashraf and Mahmoud, who took us to the black desert, crystal mountain and white desert. We also stopped off at an oasis town for a delicious lunch where we had the opportunity to take a dip in a hot spring. Ashraf was very knowledgeable about the area, had perfect English and made an effort to get to know us and make us feel at ease. We set up camp in the white desert in the evening and were provided with another tasty meal before watching the sunset and admiring the beautiful night sky. Ashraf and Mahmoud stayed close by during the overnight stay and their familiarity with the desert made us feel safe, whilst also allowing us some space to ourselves and independence to explore the area a little. We would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to spend some time off the beaten track in Egypt. Many thanks to Ashraf and Mahmoud for being excellent guides and facilitating this memorable experience.

Fantastic desert experience - Amazing 3 day tour to the White desert, the Black desert, Agabat valley and Djara cave with camping in the desert. I had two great guides, Mohamed and Ahmed, and all was perfectly organized by them. There is so much to see there and its definitely worth going there for 3 days.

Highlight of our trip - The trip was well organized, with transfers to and from Cairo. However, the fun starts when you meet the family of bedouins that will serve as your hosts. We were paired with one of the adult son’s named Ahmad who served as our 4x4 driver, tour guide, tasty chef, and lots more. We shared the camp with another family a that was guided by Ahmad’s brother Mustafa. Together, they made the camp amazing. Notice that I haven’t mentioned anything about the natural scenery yet? It’s because our hosts were that good. The various parts of the desert were amazing. After dinner, we walked over to a adjacent camp and the various guides banded together to put on a fun musical show. Highly recommend this trip. Yala shabaab!

Something to remember for a lifetime - Best thing we did in Cairo. The desert is a true wonder and the tour company are fantastic. They are very hospitable and knowledgable and was honestly something to remember for a life time. You do not feel like you are on a ‘tourist trip’ at all, it’s a truly authentic experience showing the beauty of nature and the Bedouin culture. If you have any time in Cairo I recommend doing this trip above all else.

I am a desert woman - We visited the white desert with our lovely hosts Mustafa and Ahmed. They showed us the best sights and cooked us delicious foods. We loved their energy, they made us feel at home right away. Overall, it was an experience we’ll never forget. You might come out feeling that you were meant to be a desert person.

Out of this world beauty! - The white desert and valley of agabat felt like another planet, so beautiful! We found fossils that were millions of years old! We are also a huge fan of any hot spring, so the springs were a nice touch. Ahmed took very good care of us, and cooked delicious food! We recommend this adventure!

Best Egypt experience - Unfortunately the driver had an accident (!) on his way to pick me up at 7am. The company offered to reschedule me for another day but I was flying out so couldn’t. Tasneem organized another driver at short notice. By the time he arrived it was 10.30 and I was over three and a half hours late for the tour. But it all got sorted and Mustapha the Bedouin guide reorganized the trip so I could see everything and stay longer the second day. Everything was excellent, the desert area is stunning and the camp ( complete with desert fox , Mustapha’s flute drum and singing and superb local food) was perfect.

Desert fantastic, Marsa Alam transfers less so - I would break our experience down into two parts. Everything about the Bahariya Oasis and the desert experience that was conducted by the Bedouin family was incredible. Great guide, great food, really awesome service, i cannot praise the White desert camping experience highly enough and would highly recommend it. The part before that though that Marsa Alam organized for us - pick up from Cairo and drop off to the Oasis and the drive back was very disappointing. Firstly there was no communication from Marsa Alam despite repeated requests. Didnt get driver details for a 6am pick up until 11pm the previous night. The driver then only spoke arabic and proceeded to drive at very high speeds through the desert while talking on his phone constantly. At one point he was hands free on the wheel while talking on one phone and texting on the other..it felt very unsafe. On our return as we reached Cairo we were bundled out of one car into another to go to the airport. On the whole the transfer experience to the desert and back and the communication was sub par. The desert experience itself though was amazing
