Professional reliable tour - We had a private tour with our very helpful and knowledgable tour guide Iman who picked us in a comfortable car on time, she was helpful in explaining every question we had and was patient as we took time to look around and take in the view. Lunch was tasty organic chicken and I learnt much from her. No delays or hidden transactions, highly recommend

If you want to have an... - If you want to have an opportunity to see the sights of the Fayoum deserts, waterfalls, a ride on a fishing boat, a slide down a sand dune, and a stop by a pottery shop, then this trip is for you. After about 2.5 hours each way via a private car (it’s just you not a group tour!), we reached our destinations. The roads can be quite bumpy, so be prepared for fast and furious Egypt style.

Very cool daytrip to Fayoum - It was so cool. Omar gave us a lot of information about the area. The waterfalls were very impressive, and the boat ride on the lake was also very beautiful. Sandboarding was so much. You had a great panoramic view of the entire landscape. The trip there and back with our driver Ahmed was very pleasant. Thank you :)

Great experience, highly recommend - My friend and I went on the El Fayoum tour with Omar our tour guide, and Mohammed, our driver. We had a great experience and really enjoyed it. From start to finish everything was great, we felt taken care of and our first time in Egypt was made great because of them. I highly recommend this tour and thanks to our guide and driver for a once in a lifetime experience.
