Sleeping under the stars - The White Desert is worth visiting. There is no negative aspect to this trip and this agency. The places visited are dreamlike and the campsite is perfect. Sleeping directly under the open sky, seeing the stars and the moon is a dream.

Magical desert experience - Without a doubt the most magical desert experience I have been on. We saw n did a lot within two days and were taken such good care. Especially by our Bedouin drivers Mahmoud n Ayman. The desert camp was just so cute n comfortable. Food was great. N the guys played Bedouin music until the stars came out. We saw the milky way n slept out under the stars.

The best company and the best view! A Miracle Desert Tour I'll Never Forget - It was honestly a battle with loneliness until the tour started, as I didn’t have confidence in my English and was on my own. Especially during mealtimes, we couldn’t hear the conversation around us, and sometimes felt a little lonely… But those fears were quickly put to rest! The guys from Canada and Portugal were really jovial and kind, paraphrasing them into simple words until I could understand them, and taking care to always be in the loop, which really allowed me to enjoy myself over language barriers. The tour guides were like, "Oh no, that's amazing!" The best memory I have of the group is that they enlivened the place with Japanese words like “What is this?” and we all laughed together. I will never forget the night we sang and talked together under the stars until 1am. Of course, the scenery was exceptional. Black and white deserts weave together in a mysterious, otherworldly scene. The BBQ as we watched the sun set over the horizon, and the quiet and beautiful sunrise we saw the next morning, are just words of inspiration. At first I was worried, but I want to give myself the courage to sign up for this tour. If there are any people who are unsure about language barriers or single participation, I want to tell them not to worry. Great encounters and unimaginable scenery await you. Maybe I was lucky, but for me it was an unforgettable trip, blessed with the best members.

A magical moment - Momo, our favorite of the trip. He is not just a guide, he is an extraordinary man. He knows how to do everything: cook, enjoy, play the flute, take care of us, he knows the places like his pocket, it is the Schumacher of the desert. He is a discreet but indispensable man whose kindness and generosity must be appreciated. Being accompanied by Momo adds magic to this unique experience, it would have been different without him. THANK YOU Momo we will never forget you We're sure to come back, but only with you Momo. The landscapes were lunar, wonderful, almost magical. A timeless moment that we will remember for a long time

Beautiful experience to live - The excursion was very good, many stops are offered in the black desert and the white desert. The guides were great. The night under the stars was very pleasant with the campfire and musical show. The meals offered were also very good and complete. I recommend, it is a very nice experience to live!

A bit scammed - It was really beautiful to see the desert and all the natural rocks in the white desert, all the views were breathtaking. In the night we were all surprised because the view of the stars was incredible. But I have to say, if you are going because of the water and the lakes this is not a experience for you. We felt a bit scammed because the water points for you to swim and stuff looked like a pool, so it wasn't natural. We felt like it was a great experience, our driver was really funny and gave us the best time in the desert and we had the best group. But the water points it's really the bad part of this trip.

Overall I would 100% recommend the experience but 2 feedbacks to improve - I would 100% recommend the tour with Amin and the tour leaders. The tour is well-organised, entertaining, fun. The tour guides are knowledgeable and skilful about their work and know the desert and surrounding environment by heart since it has been a long time they are doing this with love. And they are super super nice people 👌🏼 However, our group has 2 feedbacks for Amin to improve the quality of the experience: 1. Leave some free seats and room in the van during the transport from Cairo to your hotel. Don't fill all seats with passengers since the A/C and air circulation cannot handle. I would suggest max 8 passengers in one Van. 2. The hot and water springs are not very interesting and clean. Maybe you could replace them with another experience or replace it with spending more time on the new white desert. Thanks you all for such a nice experience and tour guides

Just okay - If you have a spare two days available, you can do this tour. We did other tours in Egypt which were ALOT better! Zero luxury, not that friendly service. Kept pressuring me to write a review. Stargazing and white desert are the best bits. A lot of driving in a cramped van. They split us into small groups which ruined the fun. On the way back, they drop you in downtown rather than hotel, not ideal at all.
