Fine private tour to Wadi El Hitani - I had a private tour. Everything was as expected. 100% good. Very good guide Amr. And skilled 4wheeldriver through the desert. Guide felt responsible. And took my wishes into account. Also repeatedly asked if everything was okay and if I wanted anything special. Good breakfast and lunch were included.

Excellent! - Very punctual and excellent Service, a pleasure to have Adam as our guide. I really appreciate not feeling the pressure to go fast and have time to enjoy the scenery and take pictures calmly

Best choice - What a wonderful experience , We decided to visit Egypt for the first time and it was perfect decision as we discovered in Egypt alot of amazing things and even what made it more interesting the guide who was with us Adam as he told us many things about the traditions , history , stories and his english is excellent . We visited Cairo and elfayoum with the same company Marsa alam tours and we absolutely recommend them for any body , they are very professional

Excellent. No problem at all. - Excellent tour. Adam, our guide has been very professional and attentive. Very patient with us when explaining everything and very friendly. If we go back to Egypt... I'm sure we'll book another tour with them.

Fabulous Fayoum experience - We had a fabulous trip with Ehap and Zaher to Fayoum desert! We stayed in a great desert camp, saw amazing stars, ate good food and learnt a lot about the history of Fayoum! Thanks again we will be back! Happy happy

Have a whale of a time at Wadi Al-Hitan - Think visiting 5000 year old tombs and temples is peering into antiquity? Try 40 million year old whales! Wadi Al-Hitan, 150 miles southwest of Cairo, is a UNESCO heritage site, remnants of the ancient Tethys Sea when Egypt was covered with water and sea cows, crocodiles, and turtles swam. But its greatest claim to fame is the glimpse it provides into the evolution of whales. Fifty million years ago, whale ancestors walked on land while also hunting in the shallow seas, much like sea otters do today. Over the next 10 million years, archeocetes (ancient whales) evolved a more marine lifestyle. In 2016 the Wadi Al Hitan Fossil and Climate Change Museum opened with excellent exhibits in English and Arabic describing the environmental changes over time in the area and how land-based mammals evolved to return to the sea. But the fossils are not just in display cases. Entire skeletons of Basilosaurus and Dorudon that still retain small hind limbs not seen in modern whales are on display along a walking trail littered with invertebrate fossils and bone bits. Not all travel agencies visit Wadi Al-Hitan (also known as Zeuglodon Valley or Valley of the Whales). In fact, the first one we contacted told us Wadi Al-Hitan was closed! But Marsa Alam Tours assured us we could go, and they made the trip work for us! Wadi Al-Hitan receives only about 1000 visitors a year. Access is via 4 WD vehicles over a sand blown road. Our driver enjoyed giving us an extra thrill going off road at times to navigate sand dunes and showing off his vehicular acrobatics. On the recommendation of the local border control, we were given a free police escort to the remote site. We never felt in danger, and I cannot help but wonder if the escort was really more of a perk for the police. They certainly seemed to enjoy the trip too! There are many other things in the Fayoum area to visit, and in retrospect we wished we had stayed over night. I imagine most visitors would spend 30 minutes in the museum (there is also a good film overview in English), then maybe an hour hiking the trails to see fossils, but we spent almost 3 hours. The sand was blowing pretty hard or we would have hiked further. The rock formations and beautiful sand dunes added to the experience. Our guide trained as an archeologist, bt he was knowledgeable about whale evolution and had been to Wadi Al-Hitan many times. I look forward to returning to Egypt and spending more time at this site.

Superb!! Marsa Al Alam agency - Awesome trip, wonderful respectable drivers, the owner was accommodating to our needs, just great in every way, I did not want it to end! 😢 Definitely would try their services again for a different excursion 😃
