Finding Peace in the White Desert - This tour gave me a much-needed break from the busy city life. The White Desert's silence was a powerful reminder of nature's beauty. Our guide took us to a stunning lookout point where the rocks looked like they had been sculpted by the hands of time. Watching the sunset in this otherworldly place was a spiritual moment. Big thanks to the team for their excellent service and attention to detail. It made the experience unforgettable.

A Magical Night Under the Desert Stars - Spending a night in the White Desert felt like stepping into another world. I had imagined it as a simple desert trip, but it turned into a magical adventure. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories about the formations that look like giant mushrooms and abstract sculptures. Around the campfire, we shared laughs with our friends while the sky lit up with countless stars – a moment I’ll never forget. The 4X4 ride through the Black Desert was thrilling, and the camp setup was surprisingly comfortable. A huge thanks to the team for their professional and friendly service!

Desert Silence And Stars Changed Everything - I was curious but hesitant at first—I wasn’t sure how two days in a desert could feel exciting without being exhausting. Turns out, it was pure magic. From the moment we were picked up, everything ran like clockwork. The 4x4 ride was thrilling, bouncing over dunes, but safe and well-managed. Our guide explained each stop with such passion. Camping in the White Desert was unforgettable. The sky was endless, the silence peaceful, the stars intense. Waking up surrounded by creamy-white rock sculptures felt like a dream. One moment I won’t forget was drinking sweet tea near a mushroom-shaped rock as our guide played soft music on his phone—it was calm, human, and so real. Thank you to the team for your kindness and for creating something this special. I never imagined a desert could feel this luxurious. I went home rested, humbled, and smiling.

Unexpected Comfort In The Wildest Place - I thought two days in the desert might feel too long, but it flew by. The jeep tour was a highlight for us—zooming across soft sand and black volcanic hills felt adventurous without ever feeling unsafe. The Black Desert had this deep, powerful vibe, while the White Desert was like walking through a dream. The camp setup was simple but had everything we needed—warm sleeping bags, good food, and a great mood. One moment I’ll always remember: we were sitting around the fire after dinner, sharing stories with strangers-turned-friends under a sky full of stars. It was peaceful and wild all at once. The crew was thoughtful and truly knew how to take care of people. They answered every question with a smile. I’m so thankful for their help—it made us feel right at home in the middle of nowhere

Crystal Mountain Sparkled Like Hidden Treasure - Honestly, I was expecting it to be hot, dusty, and maybe a little overwhelming—but it was surprisingly gentle. The temperature dropped beautifully at night, and the desert air was fresh and dry. The highlight for me was Crystal Mountain. It sparkled like a secret treasure chest! I’d never seen anything like it. The picnic lunch beside Agabat Valley was peaceful. I sat quietly, watching the shapes in the rocks while sipping on cool bottled water. The guide even pointed out formations that looked like camels and birds—things I’d have missed on my own. The crew's care was what made the trip smooth: clear instructions, great food, and real attention to how we felt. One funny memory: our jeep got temporarily stuck in soft sand, and we all had to push it together—it turned into a laugh-filled team moment. The drivers handled everything like pros.

Absolutely fabulous - Unforgettable experience in the white desert with Tamer, probably one of the best guides in the area. We discovered landscapes unique in the world. And ate like kings. Tamer is an outstanding cook! A huge thank you for this magical, peaceful and comfortable night amid the rock formations, in absolute silence. To do and do again!

Excellent Overnight Desert Tour - Our day began promptly at 7am with a friendly driver picking us up. We had a four-hour drive to Tamer's house, where we were warmly welcomed by Tamer and his family. They prepared a delicious lunch for us. Tamer then took us on a captivating journey to various natural wonders, including the Black Desert, Crystal Cave, and unique rock formations like the Mushroom and Chicken, then we arrived in the White Desert National Park. Tamer skillfully set up a campsite for us and treated us to a delicious dinner under the stars. After the dinner, we shared delightful moments over Bedouin tea, which I must say was the best I've had in Egypt. On the next day, we witnessed a brilliant sunrise in the morning. We enjoyed a pleasant breakfast together and then we left the desert at around 8:30am, we were back to Cairo at around 4:15pm. Tamer's prompt responses and his kindness to ensure a remarkable Sahara Desert experience left a great impression on us. I recommend Tamer’s tour to anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure in the Sahara Desert.

1 perfect day 1 fake - All firs day very perfect. All as drescribed and very nice reception and nice drivers. The experience was great and to recomend. I gave 2 stars because 2nd day was a total fake. Norhing as described. No termal bath, no visit to mummies museum, no visit to Magnis temple. At 9:00am were back to oasis Mahariya and that was all. I am not happy not to be given what was promised. Please correct this.
