Exciting trip to the Valley of the Wales - We had an amazing trip to the Valley of the Whales. Our guide, Amn, was extremely experienced and helped us not only understand the history of the site, but modern Egyptian culture as well. We especially enjoyed our trip across the desert going up and down large sand dunes, like a wild roller coaster ride, but very safe . The Valley of the Whales itself was magical. The museum is presented very well and one can walk in among the fossils of the whales still in situ in most places. The quiet of the desert was a wonder. I highly highly recommend this terrific trip. It’s worth every penny.

This trip was a true example of high-quality service and exceptional care. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique experience in Egypt!

An Amazing Experience!! - An amazing experience! Mahmoud was a very courteous and friendly and a sensational tour guide. He was so knowledgeable about Egyptian history. We took a lovely drive to the Wadi El Rayan park and on arrival to the camp, we were welcomed with some lovely tea and met by the very kind and friendly owner. We were then taken in a 4x4 jeep to see all of the sights. The driver was so kind and so much fun. It's such a stunning place to visit. Afterwards, we had a delicious lunch at the camp, the food was excellent and everyone was so kind. I had the best day and would highly recommend that everyone take this tour, it's awesome!! Truly a 5 star experience, not to be missed!!

Enjoyed OurTrip to Valley of the Whales, Glad We Did It. - We were fortunate and ours was a private tour. Luxury Tours of Egypt did a fantastic job communicating with me using What's App. They moved our start time to 7:30 AM so we could beat the heat, and provided explicit pick up directions. Mo Tolba, our tour leader, picked us up at our hotel, Marriott Mena House, which has an amazing location if you'd like breakfast with a view of the pyramids! From the hotel we then drove to to a Bedouin location where we had a walk around, a cup of tea, and switched to a 4x4 driven by "H" - he really made the desert drive to Wadi Hitan (Valley of the Whales) a breathtaking experience. We felt as if we were "one with the desert." Incredible. The Valley of the Whales was the reason we came and it didn't disappoint. The museum has a short video, the whale bones on display as well as fossils of other species including crocodiles, and even a mastodon. The walk outside to various other fossils is excellent too. We did not sandboard, by choice, and we did not swim in the Magic Lake, again by choice. The Waterfalls were OK, but there we many swimmers in the water. Mo was really kind helping me get some Arabic phrases down and he played great Arabic music the whole time. We really enjoyed our day.

Best day in Egypt so far. - One of my best days in Egypt so far. This tour is amazing and includes all you have to see and do in Fayoum; Wadi El Hitan, Qarun Lake, an amazing safari ride in the desert, sand boarding, water falls, and a delicious meal. Aya and Islam were my awesome tour guides and I was lucky I got to get this experience with such friendly and amazing people. Thank you so much for this day! I definitely recommend this tour and it’s absolutely worth it!

Dinosaurs in in Desert - We enjoyed the Open Air Museum .. in the Valley of the Whales and gazing down on the beautiful coloured Magic Lake, but we equally enjoyed our time in the company of our Bedouin hosts.

Fayoum trip is amazing - My trip to Fayoum was a great experience. The desert, magic mountain and lake, fantastic. Our driver and guide were very professional and helpful. We were given wonderful food, well cooked and presented. We ended the day with much laughter and banter with our guide/organiser, and the owner of the bedouin camp. All in all a great trip.
