An Unforgettable Excursion with Stunning Landscapes - I highly recommend this excursion without hesitation. The landscapes are breathtaking. Our guide, Ali, was very friendly and taught us a lot. However, I advise you to be mindful of your belongings. Despite your trust in the driver, it's always best to keep your items with you at all times.

Egyptian holiday to remember - Ryan was very informative about Egypt . The history, the culture, and landscape. We rode camels, sqam in the magic lake, sand surfing, ate a private lunch at a Bedwin camp in Fyaum, as well as took millions of photos of the vast sand dunes, beaches, waterfalls, etc. At the end of the tour, we had some time left, so he took us to some prime private shops to purchase perfumes & oils, papyruse, and gold jewelry, including a private shopping spree at the jeweler (because he had already closed for the day, but agreed to open for us after hours!) Ryan was happy to help us in any way, including showing us how to correctly wrap and tie a scarf around our head to keep sun & wind off of our skin. This was one of the most personal tours we have taken, and it demonstrated how Ryan was just happy to make our Egyptian vacation the most memorable possible. ❤️

The perfect desert safari experience - Excellent, authentic tour with amazing service. Our tour guide Fares was very knowledgeable and interesting to talk to. He made us feel comfortable, safe and more than anything he made sure we had the best time. I haven’t been on a tour anywhere in the world that was this organised with such enthusiastic and friendly guides. They take amazing pictures as well! The activities were structured and planned well in advance. For example they take you to sand board first because the sand becomes too hot later in the day. Every little detail is taken care of. The food was well-prepared and tasted great. If you want to get out of Cairo please do this tour!

Fantastic oasis and desert tour - Perfect daytrip. The experience included: - pickup at hotel - stop in a rural town for a delicious falafel meal and lots of water for the day (included) - stop in a rural village where some other guys met up with the 4x4 jeeps - entering Fayoum national park (extra 5 $) - stop by the Wadi El Rayan lake for some rest, watching the waterfall and camel ride - 4x4 safari with the jeep in the sand dunes - sand surfing - stop by "Magic Lake" for a swim. Water was clean and it was very refreshing in the heat - Lunch in a house close to Magic Lake - Heading home. Fantastic day for a good price. Nice, hospitable guides and we also got to spend the day with a nice family from Canada. Highly recommend this eperience if you are in Cairo for a few days and want to escape the city for one day.
