Slight delay, but Omar fixed it right away - There was a small delay at the beginning because of traffic, but Omar handled it immediately.
He called us, explained the situation, and made sure we didn’t lose any part of the tour.
After that everything went perfectly.
Beautiful landscapes, good guide, and great communication from Omar.

Beautiful desert views and great care from Omar - The Fayoum Oasis was stunning. The desert, the lakes, and the quiet atmosphere were unforgettable.
Our driver and guide were both friendly and professional.
Omar followed up during the trip to be sure everything was going well and even called after we returned to check if we were satisfied.
It’s rare to see that level of care.
I’d recommend this tour with Omar to anyone visiting Egypt

Excellent tour guide — engaging and caring - Everything was wonderful! The guide was flexible and tuned into our needs, knowing when to talk and when to let us enjoy in silence. The food was also very good, and the day just flew by. A delightful experience with great organization.”

Truly peaceful escape into nature - “We had a great time on this tour! The felucca ride was incredibly relaxing with stunning views of the water and surrounding nature. The sandboarding on the desert dunes was a highlight—so much fun. Lunch was delicious, and it was fascinating to see how local pottery is made. Everything felt well-organized, and our guide was really friendly. Highly recommend!”

What a wonderful day in Fayoum - It was the first time I visited Egypt and I decided on a private tour to Fayoum, including the waterfalls and desert. Our guide, Moman, made the day exceptional—he even picked a great local restaurant where we had the freshest fish. The 4×4 ride through the desert and the peaceful oases made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend

A great nature side of Egypt to see!! - If you want to leave the city and explore more nature, this tour is for you! Omar did an amazing job from start to finish with his hospitality and information he provided about Egypt. We went through the desert to see the whale fossils, swam at Magic lake (fresh salt water) tried to sand board LOL, and visited the waterfalls. It was a different side of Egypt that is refreshing to see. Thank you!!

Amazing - Fayoum Oasis is an amazing area …. Like a secret diamond… beautiful places but it’s a little bit far from Cairo (2 hours) … you should visit for relaxing from the crowded Cairo…
Wear your swimsuit! You would like to swim definitely…
The lunch was perfect and the hole experience…
If a change something , that it was start earlier in morning (maybe 7 o clock) so don’t have too high temperature that had after 1-2 o clock

Awesome place - Fayoum was so beautiful! Our jeep traveled many kilometers in the desert, off road. We saw waterfalls, whale bones, lakes and the kids went sandboarding! It was a day to remember

Everyone should try this! - A day that had everything! Tha highlights for me were: riding a 4x4 in the desert (our driver Mustafa knows the area like the palm of his hand), the visit to the… valley of whales (an UNESCO site), magical moments in the magic lake (you can swim there!) and sand boarding! Omar, who drove us from Giza to Fayoum, was with us all the time, was very helpful, and ensured our day is unforgettable!
