Great tour to do while in Egypt! See the real desert - Oh man. What a trip. The 4x4 driving was crazy fun. Our driver Mohammed was safe but still a crazy driver haha. Our tour guide Rami was also very knowledge and very helpful throughout the day. Sandboarding is a challenge but very fun. Camel ride is awesome pics opportunities. Overall the day is great and so was lunch! FYI the drive to and back from the tour is about 2 hours. So bring headphones a book or nap on the bus, don’t worry it has AC.

Beautiful adventure - I really had fun. Our guide was perfect and friendly. He took great pictures of us and put us in a festive atmosphere. The 4×4 driver Ali would manage his steering wheel impressively. The program was respected. I loved it!

Beautiful scenery and exciting experience - This trip is an absolute MUST when you visit Egypt. Our guide Ryan made sure we had an unforgettable experience. The transport was 5 stars, both from the hotel, and the 4X4 experience. We visited some beautiful sites and had an exciting and exhilarating experience which we won’t forget. I would highly recommend the trip, and if we come back we will do an overnight camp!

Disabled - Be aware this is not very suitable for the disabled, especially for people with walking sticks, but the guide did help as much as possible

We paid 250€ and hot nothing. - We paid $250 but received nothing in return. I paid by credit card just 12 hours before the tour. Unfortunately for us (and fortunately for the host), there was no refund allowed within 24 hours of the tour’s start. They offered no pickup solution except a fee of around $15 per person—on top of the €250 we had already paid—despite this being nearly ten times the cost of an average Uber or taxi for the same route. The pickup conditions were buried in the fine print, which we only discovered after checkout and contacting support. Additionally, the meeting time was changed from the booked 8:00 AM to 7:00 AM.
