Stunning Black and White deserts - The black and white deserts were incredible places to visit and appreciate the natural beauty of the landscape and landforms. Our guide, Mido, was super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. He even took pictures for us to capture the moment with great poses!

tour you can't miss - If you come to Egypt, you can't leave without taking this tour. It's incredible to sleep in the desert, feel the silence, see the stars... it's all incredible. As for the organization, I can't fault it at all; everything was perfect. Both the Bedouin and the guide made us feel like family, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Despite the long journey from Cairo, it is well worth the trip.

The Desert is a Must! - I wish I could have stayed another night! The desert, the star gazing, food, and the tour guide made this trip amazing. Don't come to Egypt to see the pyramids; try to see more, and I would suggest this tour.

A day of 10 with Omar Saleh - Long journey to arrive but fully recommended, and if it is with the company of Omar Saleh even better. He was a very good guide, and even better photographer, worrying about everything we needed or wanted. The tour included breakfast and lunch. Special mention also to the desert driver.

💯 The day I fell in love with Egypt and the desert 🏜️ - Coming to Cairo and not visiting the white desert should be penalized! It was the first time I visited a desert and the experience has been unbeatable, of the best of my trip to Egypt without a doubt! Mohamed, alias “the Italian”, although for us named “the Spanish” 🇪🇸 made us a tour of 10! It has been a day full of sensations, rallying on the dunes in a jeep, drinking authentic Bedouin tea in the middle of the desert, the contrast of landscapes between the black desert, the glass mountain and the curious shapes of the white desert, or living the thrill of surfing in the sand Although certainly the most authentic thing was camping in the middle of the desert, sitting by the bonfire to enjoy delicious local food, singing and dancing to the beat of drums under the stars with our Bedouin friends, and at the same time feel the peace and tranquility of the desert. Thanks to Mohamed for taking care of us and providing so much energy and good vibes on this trip, what a shame we could not spend a whole week together, we return from Egypt with a new friend who we will always carry in our ❤️

A great adventure in a desert climate - The trip was organized very professionally and met our expectations in 100%. A private, comfortable car arrived punctually at the indicated address, where our guide Mohamed introduced us to the program and we set off on a 4-hour drive to the oasis. Breakfast and Bedouin tea were waiting for us on the spot, and we also had the opportunity to cool off in the water in the middle of the desert! Then we moved to an off-road vehicle and after an hour we reached the White Desert, where we had the opportunity to admire the unusual rock formations, then we saw the Agabat Valley, tried sandboarding and on the way back we saw the Crystal Mountain and the Black Desert. After returning to the oasis, a very tasty dinner was waiting for us and we went back. The whole thing took us 16 hours. Our guide Mohamed, who had great knowledge about the desert, answered all our questions in the most friendly way, deserves the greatest praise. Thank you Mo for your patience and understanding! I sincerely recommend this tour and this guide - you will not be disappointed!

Best Time of Our Time in Egypt! - This was probably our favorite activity of the trip. It's a long day going to the White Desert from Giza, but well worth the time. The desert is beautiful and unique, and February was a great time to go. I can't imagine how uncomfortable it would have been in summer! Our guide, though only 23, was the best we had on the entire trip. His English and enthusiasm were more than we could have wished for. The driver did a great job as well.

Excellent - What an incredible experience! The scenary was breathtaking, the food at the oasis was authentic and delicious, the transportation was good and I really enjoyed the fun ride on the sand. Our tour guide Mohab was exceptional, knowledgeable, friendly, and really nice to talk to. The tour operator was very kind to accommodate a request that we made last minute due to circumstances out of our control, they were lovely and very responsive. Highly recommended

Flexibility and Understanding - The White Desert trip was well delivered by the sales team, tour guide and drivers/cooks. Having looked at many trips, I made the mistake of booking a day trip, which Nada (sales) and Sabir (guide) changed to an overnight trip for what was a very readable extra fee of $20 per head. We visited white and black deserts and Chrystal mountain on the first day and camped overnight in the black desert. This gave us a chance to see it in the setting sun as well as in the first hour or more after sunrise. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that, the guide, Sabir, was given the wrong phone number to contact me and didn’t seem to have my name until he phoned the office to clarify that we were his clients. In this respect, the operations team seamed less effective and efficient compared with the sales team. If this hadn’t happened, I would have happily given them a 5 star rating.
