Traveler reviews
Wonderful day
Absolutely stunning sites accompanied by a very pleasant and kind guide throughout the excursion in the desert in a 4x4. Perfect experience
Wadi al Reyan
Pleasent day. Our guide Yusuf was knowledgeable and polite. Stunning things to see. Valley of Whales is a must. Waterfalls were beautiful. 😊
Nice choice
Great choice We were very good guide in Italian very competent and accompanied Salma who will be a great guide in English, punctual driver and very kind. Recommended great, everything as described
Hike different from the usual and great fun!
We took a day trip to El Fayoum from Giza. The drive was quite long, about 2 hours, but once there it was absolutely worth it for the places visited and for the desert experience. The guide was friendly, although he didn't speak very good Italian, so the explanations were quite simple. The best part of the day was undoubtedly the desert jeep tour and sandboarding: really fun! Great credit goes to the driver of the jeep, who was very good, nice and helped make the day special. He also took some beautiful souvenir photos. I recommend this excursion to those who want to do something different than the classic tours although I would pay a little more attention to the choice of the guide.
