A Perfect Desert Outing - The Trip was really enjoyable !!. We were group of 12 people with elders and young kids. The trip was enjoyable to all age categories. The Desert 4x4 drive was very good. A lot of places to take Photos and the Lunch serves also was good. We also took bath in magic lake which is a Oasis. Though no place to change costumes it's worth a dive.

Unforgettable Adventure in Fayoum desert - The best experience in Fayoum desert! You certainly have to try it if you visit Egypt! The driver knew exactly where to go and the safari was unbelievable because of the breathtaking scenery! Abdul and Ali were the best! Sand boarding is an experience you shouldn’t miss either!! So much fun! We made such wonderful memories and we took such beautiful photos that this safari will always be in our hearts. The peaceful camp we visited was a nice break before we go back to Cairo. The food there is really good. Try tomatoes from the back yard! All in all the trip is worth a million! Don’t miss it!

A desert day of sand and water to remember - It was amazing to be surrounded 360deg with just sand dunes and mountains and to have lunch with more rhan enough to eat and drink at such a remote but beautiful place. The sandboarding was fun and fast and my son even cooled off in the magical lake. Abdalla our guide made sure we are satisfied the whole time with any needs. Highly recommend this day outing

Abdalla Egypt Tour Guide - Abdalla was an amazing tour guide! He picked us up on time and drove us out all the way to the Fayoum desert offering refreshments as well. We joined a driver with a 4x4 jeep and took a breathtaking drive across the middle of the desert. We saw fossils at the valley of the whales, went to amazing mountaintops for great pics and videos, refreshed ourselves in the magic lake, went sand surfing at multiple dunes based on our experience, ate an amazing lunch with Egyptian tea, and saw beautiful waterfalls. A day we will never forget and thank you again for the amazing memories. Truly a great day and will recommend Abdalla to anyone!

Abdalla was awesome!! - What an amazing experience from beginning to end! Abdalla picked us up and drove us to where we had to change into a 4x4 car! From there the adventure began, he adjusted the day to do what we preferred! He always made sure that we had water or snacks. We chose to do valley of the whales and from there sand surfing which was so much fun! He provided amazing photos and videos! We checked out magic lake and from there to a delicious lunch! He proceeded to have lunch with us and made sure we had what we needed! Then we checked out the waterfall afterwards. Had a day that we couldn’t even imagine, the 4x4 driver and Abdalla were great!!

Highly recommended tour! A must enjoyable one. - Amazing trip! Love it! At first, it's a bit scary because it's pretty unnatural to ride in a freaking desert! But it's worth it all! Our tour guide is a very cool guy; we hang out with him all day, he is very kind and knows a lot!
