The Best Experience Ever in Life - We had a fantastic day today!!! I can say best trip ever. Our trip to Fayoum Desert is the best ever experience. Our driver Yassim is so good, very kind, polite, understanding and took good care of us. I gave him a rate of 5/5 as he is so good on his job. He took a lot of photos during the trip which is highly appreciated. The driver number 2 named Bola George is also one of the best driver. This trip makes our holiday memorable and enjoyable. Best Trip Ever!!! Thank you Yassin and Bola. I will definitely recommend you to our friends and family. Hope to book your service again when we comeback to Egypt. Again thank you so much!!!

- The oasis was so beautiful and seeing bodies of water in the middle of the desert was a sight that my eyes never thought they would see in person. The truck ride through the desert was so much fun ! Our tour guide was great and everyone involved in the process from beginning to end was kind , helpful and sincerely welcoming. Thank you !!!

Great trip in the desert. - Absolutely beautiful and worth the drive! Please note – it is about a 3 to 4 Hour Dr. outside of Cairo. We stopped for lunch at a nice restaurant/hotel before heading to the desert national Park. In the park, you will see a waterfall plus large rock formations which you can climb and take beautiful pictures. You can also go sand snowboarding, which was fun.
