A day in the dessert - This tour was amazing, my teenagers really enjoyed it. We didn't do the ATV, but camels, sand boarding, drifting. Abdalla was exceptional and there were no issues, he helped us all the way and told us fun facts. Food was really good and lots, we took some with us at departure. It takes a while to get in the dessert but car has AC. The 4x4 we switched to is cool, good car, no concerns and the driver was nuts so we loved it. Highly recommend this one.

Egypt Adventure - Our guide Aimn Assad was not only kind, but had a great sense of humor. We hit every activity and it was a full day. Amin clearly loves his job! If you do this adventure, make sure you bring LOTS of bottled water and make sure your cars have AC! This is a unique way of having a memorable adventure in Egypt!!🇪🇬

Best Day in Egypt - It was without a doubt our best tour of our time in Egypt. Our tour guide Hassan was very polite and helpful and we had a really great time . I would for sure recommend it to anyone who would like a small adventure in the desert.

Great and Unique Adventure in the Desert - This was a really fun experience. It is a bit of a drive to the park but the experience was well worth it. Along the way we passed through a town/village which was quite interesting to see how the locals truly live away from a big city like Cairo. The waterfalls were lovely and the opportunities for pictures were extraordinary. Our guide did a great job. We were picked up promptly at the hotel. The sand boarding was a new and novel experience as was riding the sand dunes and of course the camels. The lunch experience was unique and the food was quite good. This was a truly fun experience that I would highly recommend. It exposes you to areas that you don't typically see on the regular Egypt tourist haunts.

Great trip, biut a few glitches - It was a very enjoyable day in the desert - with a couple of glitches We went on a day when nearly everyone there was an Egyptian family enjoying the day after Eid Al Adha. It t was fun to meet them and enjoy the waterfall and lake together. We were literally the only tourists there One small glitch - the subcontractor only brought 3 camels for 4 of us, so not all of us could go at the same time. When it came time for the 4th person to ride, two others from our group accompanied them. The operator then tried to charge us for 2 more rides. Also, the rides were only about 15 minutes long. The sandboarding was thrilling, but be prepared to walk back up the dune. In 100 degree heat, even teenagers were bogging down The drive through the desert was fun, though the vehicle was old - not all of the windows worked, and the air conditioning had been inoperative for years. The best part of the trip was the quad bikes. The setting was like being on Mars - an incredible plateau with views for miles. The only glitch was that the bikes were old - most of the rear brakes were inoperative, and the front brakes barely worked. Don’t put yourself in a situation where you need to stop quickly. Our tour guide Aimn was terrific. We spent 11 hours together, and he was lovely to be with.

Not worth 150 dollars - Not as described. Was told there was an Atv park to do the 1hr ride. Turns out it’s just a 30 min ride at 5 mph down a street and back with no views. Ride 200 yards down a lake to take a picture where the owners of quads tried taking a break. Sandboarding was down a small dune that was 20 feet long. Only reason it’s not 1 star is because the tour guide was good
