Night in the desert - Incredible experience, despite the change of itinerary without prior notice (the white desert was closed) they knew how to put the icing on the cake and it was a unique and unforgettable experience, especially because of our guide Mohamed who was attentive to us at all times. No detail was left to enjoy every moment and also an important detail, which every tourist deserves to know, they do not force you to tip every 5 minutes, it is left to each person's own choice. An activity that we would repeat with our eyes closed.

Unexpected and very fun sandboarding on the dunes. Night in the 'top' desert. There was no shortage of moments of relaxation and sharing excellent local food. Impeccable organization, always on time, always attentive to the guest. Trained and super attentive guide, fluent Italian, punctuality and professionalism from everyone. Incredible 4x4 experience, very good driver.

Unforgetable experience - In my opinion it is a unique experience that everyone should have if they go to Egypt. The beauty of the desert is incredible and contrasts with the madness of Cairo. The journey is long but it is worth it. We saw three deserts with incredible formations. The guide Mostafa was super friendly and attentive and our driver Hameda was very funny. We slept and had dinner in the white desert. The delicious dinner and the magical night.

Black and white desert - We want to the white and black desert with Mostafa Mabrouk and It was AWESOME. He is really kind, his spanish is very good and he tried to enjoy us all the day. The tour is long and it takes so many hours in the car, but he did his best to enjoy us. We definitely recommend this experience and for sure, if you could do it with him it worths a lot!!!

A great day to do! - Superb day with Muhammad Al-galban departing from Cairo. He picked us up from the hotel, then accompanied us throughout the day... We went to the black desert, then to the white desert. We stopped very often, he took photos for us, and showed us lots of really beautiful places! To do. Great time and great welcome! Really 1000 thanks!

A night in the desert - Fantastic experience and wonderful places. The white desert in particular is truly stupendous. Excellent organization and special thanks to our guide Abdelrahman (Abdo 😁) who took care of us throughout the trip. Only note, if like us you take the trip in winter, bring warm clothes for the night... it's cold 😉.

Sleep in the desert - A Must Do In Your Life - Mohamed Abdo is a tour guide with a lot of knowledge. Everything is arranged well, and the experience of sleepover in the desert is epic. Although we got cold before we join this tour so we don’t have 100% of energy during the trip, we still like it very much!
