Traveler reviews
Getting off the beaten path.
It is a long day but doable in order to fully appreciate the beautiful landscape, especially the white desert, and to share a unique moment with the Bedouins, the people of the desert. The 4x4 through the "mushroom field" is a must.
Exhausting, but worth it!
The trip is very long and tiring (4 hour drive out of Cairo to the desert camp, then several hours in a 4x4 car through the desert, and 5 hour drive back), but it is definitely worth it! The landscape is unique and extraterrestrial, very photogenic. Some of the guides were not very helpful, but our driver/guide Wahid was the King of the Desert! Very friendly and experinced, giving us a lot of information, stopped anytime we wanted to take a picture.
Good excursion that allows to see the essential sites.
I had doubts about the feasibility of the trip in a single day, in fact it is possible. Certainly we do not spend much time on each site but it is enough to discover and take photos. Of course it is a long day (from 6am to more than 10am in the evening) but there are moments of relaxation and stops. As a result, you don’t feel stressed about the progress of the trip. The driver and guide were perfect.
Better Than The Pyramids!
Obviously the Pyramids are a must for any visit to Cairo, but i honestly enjoyed my tour to the Black and White Deserts more. I was picked up on time by my tour guide Jessi and my driver Khalid and was taken on a drive through the Egyptian Sahara. I transfered to a 4x4 driven skilfully by Waled. The scenery in the Black Desert was amazing, but the rock formations in the White Desert blew me away. The tour wrapped up with dinner back at Star Camps before a leisurely drive back to Cairo. A great tour that I would recommend without hesitation.
Nice experience
It was a truly really nice experience. Hamad Abo Rakika and the driver Khaled were so kind and took care of everything. 10/10
