Fantastic experience in the desert

Unforgettable experience, I had a great time with Ahmed medaht and Abdelrahman. We've gone all over the desert, met people and danced to typical desert music. Really, it's probably the best thing I could have done in my life.

Perfect desert trip

It was an amazing trip! Hassan is very good and interesting guide. He came so warm atmosphere and nice friendly conversation. Tour was full of perfect experience. Three beautiful deserts - stunning views. And the finale step was sunset in the black desert. The camp was perfect with good food and nice houses. The day was ended by sitting next to camp fire telling different stories and drinking tasty tea

Great trip to the desert

The trip was amazing, Hassan is our guide, he took good care of us, and treat us as friends, we had a lot of great conversations ! And our driver Joseph is the best driver we ever met, drive us safely back and forward. The black and white desert is worth visiting, though it’s a bit far, but if you starts early enough in the morning, you could sleep a bit on the car, and see and do a lot of things during the day. I’m very happy we decided to come, Feb. 22th is still a cold at night, if you visit, must bring warm jacket for the night, but hot during the day, bring the right clothes will make this trip even better!

A Must-Do For When You Need a Break from the Cities

My wife and I had an incredible time on this tour. Mahran and Abdol were great hosts and made us feel extremely welcome. The unique desert landscape, hidden locations, activities, and food they shared with us will be one of the most treasured memories of our trip. Even if you're not a fan of deserts in general, go for the night sky alone. It is as stunning as the pyramids if you don't ever get to see it in total darkness.
