Adventure and disconnection through the desert - We had an amazing day. We were two young couples looking to explore a different face of Egypt, away from the typical monuments, and it was quite a success. The day was full of adventures: we started with a relaxing boat ride, followed by an exciting camel ride. Then, we launched into a 4x4 tour of the desert, a mind-blowing experience! We even made a stop for sandboarding, which ensured a lot of laughter.
After so much activity, we enjoyed a delicious lunch of grilled chicken with rice and potatoes, and to close the day with a golden clasp, we rode the quad pyramids.
I especially want to thank Shaima for her attention, kindness and professionalism throughout the experience. If we had the opportunity to return, we would not hesitate to repeat it, although if it does not happen, we will definitely recommend it to all our friends.

Unforgettable honeymoon adventure with awesome guide! - We had an amazing time on this trip, which we booked as part of our honeymoon. Hassan was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also made the entire experience a lot of fun for us! His enthusiasm and expertise was appreciated, and we loved learning about the history and geography of the areas we visited. He also went above and beyond by capturing some awesome photos and videos of us throughout the day. It was an unforgettable experience!

Great fun adventure in the desert - We had a great time, it was a fun and adventurous experience. The food was good as well, the national park is about 2-2:30 hrs away from Cairo, but the drive was worth it. Abdullah was a great guide!

10/10 - is a fairly complete and very well planned tour. lasts many hours, but is ideal for the activities they offer. they take you to an Ecological Reservation in the desert to know the unique waterfalls of the country, to go to the dunes, sand boarding, meet a community of Bedouin and eat there with them, ride a camel, etc. very good experience. 10/10

Great Desert experience - I can only say one word about this: amazing!
We were picked up at the airport (for an extra fee that I felt was a bit high: $20), after our transport to Cairo was about 3 hours late from Alexandria, which didn't give us time to get to our hotel before the tour. However, our bags traveled with us to the desert. Our family group was my wife, two boys (8 and 12) and I.
We were greeted by our guide Mohamad Yasser, aka Mojito, and we quickly learned how amazing of a guide he was. He was very accommodating, spoke Spanish (our native language) very well, and quickly became part of our family.
We were driven to the desert on an air-conditioned car and once we got there, we were moved to a 4x4, which took us the rest of the way (our bags were left at the other vehicle, to which we returned at the end of the experience).
We went camel-riding, saw the waterfalls between the lakes, and did some sand boarding. My family simply loved all of this, and our driver and guide made it that much more fun.
We finished the day with a meal at a desert Bedouin camp, before going back to our hotel.

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.
