Great experience in El Fayoum - Our drivers name was Yassin and our tour guide name was Amr. They both arrive on time to pick us to our hotel. The van was comfortable, spacious and with air conditioner. We were given complimentary breakfast and bottle water since we told the tour guide we hadn’t eaten breakfast yet. That was very nice to do. Then we arrive to El Fayoum. Amr took some nice pictures of us and we took the boat ride and did sand boarding. Arm also took pictures of us in the waterfall. Lunch was delicious, best fish I have eaten so far.

Unforgettable experience - Unforgettable experience! Our trip to Fayoum exceeded all expectations.
The guide was very kind, attentive, and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories about Egypt’s history and geography.
The Fayoum desert itself was far more breathtaking than I had imagined—vast, peaceful, beautiful, and stunning. Sandboarding and the optional 4x4 driving was thrilling—it felt exhilarating and freeing. My child had the time of his life!
Having the chance to enjoy the desert in a private and unhurried way made this experience truly unforgettable. Highly recommend!
A few tips: bring generous tips for the guide and drivers. You’ll likely visit shops at the end of the tour. Be firm if you are not interested and if you want to buy something negotiating is recommended.

A trip to paradise - If you want to see nature out of this world you should take this trip. We went to the magic lake and its waterfalls and it was a dream. I could not believe my eyes as I contemplated the beauty of the place. The lunch was also fantastic. I had grilled fish and it was delicious. Moreover you can take it with an amazing view of a lake. My guide was Megoo and his an amazing person. You can totally count on him. He took care that everything was fine and at the end at my request he even took me to two shops that were not even in the program. Thanks Megoo

Simply unforgettable! - Our trip with Amr yesterday was simply unforgettable! He not only amazed us with his extensive knowledge about Egypt but also with his incredibly warm and humorous personality. Amr truly made the history and culture of the country come alive in such an interesting and entertaining way. The food included in the tour was absolutely fantastic – the fish was perfectly seasoned and incredibly delicious! The boat ride on the lake was a highlight, and sandboarding in the desert was so much fun. The jeep ride through the desert was an adventure, and Amr kept us laughing throughout the day. It was a day full of laughter, amazing experiences, and lots of interesting discoveries. We can highly recommend Amr – it's hard to imagine a better guide! Thank you for such a wonderful day, Amr!

Beautiful views and fun activities but double check itinerary - The trip started with a stop at two rock formations where you could climb on top and have an amazing view of the lake. We then went to to the waterfalls which were also very beautiful and had a short boat trip on the lake. Bring a tip for the person rowing. After that we tried sandboarding which was fun! The lunch on the way back was delicious with fresh grilled fish (chicken was the other option). However, the trip description included the Tunis village, which we had to ask for and turned out to be only a stop in a ceramics shop. I still liked it as we saw a short demo but we didn't walk in the village. Most importantly the description included Roman ruins Madi, which we never saw. The guide was very welcoming and took care of us, also the driver kindly dropped us off at a requested location at the end, but we don't think we got what we paid for in terms of stops and it felt shorter than it should be.
