Touring - Our tour guide musa was amazing – super friendly, funny, and really good at what he does. He made the whole experience fun and easy, explained things clearly, and let us go at our own pace. We had a great time and learned a lot

Valley of the Whales tour - Hamada was excellent ! Made sure you didn’t feel rushed during activities and spoke very clearly. I was a solo traveller and so he made me feel very welcomed.

Who wouldn't want to see whale fossils in the dessert?!!! Great action packed tour. - We loved this tour, so many interesting things packed into one day. The kids loved the sand boarding and 4x4 driving over sand dunes. Whale valley is fascinating, and we also got to drive in the 4x4 up a mountain to a beautiful view over the whole area including magic lake. Also lots of fossils to look at. The lunch at the camp is delicious. Our guide Hakiem was friendly and helpful, and even bought us falafels on our way to try local Fayoum falafel. Definitely recommend

Must do Tour in Egypt !! - If you are debating on doing this tour or a different one stop debating and pick this one!!! We had the time of our lives on this trip and had the best guide Mahmoud I strongly recommend him as a guide and driving through the desert with the Bedouin music is an unforgettable experience! The food was also 10/10 and everyone is super welcoming !

Great tour! Haitham was... - Great tour! Haitham was such a great guide for us. He picked us up from home, went directly to fayoum and led us around wadi el hitan and wadi el rayan. In all of them he was telling us stories and showing us unique spots to take photos. Had a great time in Wadi el Hitan and wadi el rayan.

Great! - A day that will be etched in our memories forever. Everything was perfect! Our guide: Mohamed musa is just awesome. He knows how to put at ease, made us laugh a lot and is extremely professional. We couldn't have dreamed better. Ghihid and Islam (the drivers) were also great. The places are just all breathtaking and we take plenty of eyes from start to finish. Unforgettable. Thanks again to them!

Desert adventure with a magical oasis - Tour for adventurers who want to explore beyond the common sights. Our guide Omar and the driver were very friendly and attentive (I was unwell and adapted the trip) I recommend checking the journey with the agency before leaving. There are several route options and the tourist may not feel safe crossing Fayun and its villages. Communication was very good with Emo tours. Very good experience!
