One day in El Fayoum - Wonderful excursion. Our guide spoke Italian perfectly (his name is Sheriff) he thought of everything. He took us to a small village near El Fayum, and with a jeep and a really good driver we entered the protected area of the desert where we visited waterfalls, landscapes, oases and beautiful natural lakes. We also had lunch in a village in the middle of the desert with the Bedouins, really delicious. Amazing, must do. Sheriff was very good and would be recommended to anyone who wants to have this type of experience.

Great time Great value for money! - At first our guide was exactly how you want your personal guide to be , he stood as a friend trying to fulfil our wishes and he made sure that this trip will be memorable!! Definitely worth the money as it is another type of experience ( not the usual European City experience) so Thank you Abdalla for this experience we will always remember it Highlight of the tour is the 4x4 tour of the desert, where our driver Ahmed at the end turned his Land Rover into a tent and we enjoyed a full and delicious barbecue dinner !!! PS sand boarding is fun but only do it if you have experience

Great time great value for money - A “full” experience with Abdalla that who acted not only as a tour guide but as a friend trying to fulfill our every wish. Highlight of the tour was the 4x4 safari ( tour of the desert ) the driver Ahmed made his Land Rover into a Bedouin tent and we enjoyed a generous and very very tasty barbecue meal on the Desert!!!! Unforgettable moments with two great guys Definitely worth the money Ps sand boarding is fun but it’s not for everyone so be very cautious , I didn’t fell down ;) but my wife did
