Desert Fun Blast! - Me and my family (2 adults and 2 teens) had an amazing day! If you like adrenaline, adventure, nature, contact with other cultures, this is a must do. Our trip started in Cairo, with hotel pick up. Our guide, Fares Emam promised a day full of fun and he didn't disappoint. All the tour was organized to provide the best experiences, amazing photos and lots of information. In the desert we had the pleasure to meet Farag, our driver in the desert. What a guy! Nice, friendly and a true cowboy of the desert on the steering wheel of his 4X4. A bit crazy also. Sorry Farag, but it's true. 😆😆 We flew over the dunes! Magic Lake, sandsurf, beduin village lunch (tasty, honest and freshly made food), camel/horse ride all surrounded with amazing desert views. What a day! Thanks to our lovely guide and drivers. Happy 2025!

Thrills, fun, and great view! The most memorable activity I had in Egypt - The guide Ryan and driver Mohamed and 4WD driver (another Mohamed) ensured the safety of the participants and at the same time giving us a great experience. They are very friendly, and interesting. Our guide Ryan also help us to take a lot of good photos. Sandboarding, 4WD drive up and down the dunes were exhilarating! Full adrenaline activities! Relaxing camel/horse rides, surreal and amazing views! The local food is delicious.

Magic Safari - Clean cars, driver to Fayoum and desert driver in 4*4. They were very decent, smiling, nice. Ali the guide excellent, very smiling. He has kept pace with us, he knows his country well, he gives great advice, he knows his work well, and has communicated to us full of information about the desert and its oasis. The lakes were huge, for having made several oases, this one was exceptional! Huge protected nature reserve. The last lake visited called the Magic Lake bears its name. It is a pearl in the desert. Then we ended up in camp with a dish of Egyptian specialties. A long day filled with emotions and that took us away from the great noise of Cairo. Away from all those traffic jams and horns. A suspended moment; to live.
