Nice visit in Wadi - We had such a great time with the staff. Very friendly Mo and always carrying a good attitude. This area is amazing and full of history. At the end of the tour we had such an amazing house made lunch which was delicious. They take good care of their guests and make them feel the Egiptian culture and service.

Great guide and super day out - We had a good day. Our guide cameltoe was fantastic he told us all about the fossils and whales that were out in the desert. He worked really hard over a long day during Ramadan. The 4x4 safari and drive to the lakes was quite fun if a tad scary doing 80mph across sand dunes. The only thing that was really uncomfortable was when we were stopped at a checkpoint by the police and they took the driver out
