Traveler reviews
You will love it!!!!!!!
This tour was an out of the box experience in Egypt. The day was very adventurous, hitting places not normally expected but highly recommended. The 4x4 sand dunes trip was awesome. The Oasis was beautiful and the lunch delicious. Hamada is an amazing guide and very attentive. Totally recommend this activity!
Desert, Dunes, Whales, and Waterfalls!
One of the best tours I’ve experienced in years! But please be cautioned if you are prone to motion sickness or cannot tolerate vehicular risk. Yes, you see whale skeletons in the desert, Lake Qarun, and a pretty albeit polluted waterfall. Yes, you get served a delightful meal in a desert camp (glamp) sight while feral cats wait to pick through your leftovers. But by far the most exciting part of this tour for me was the vehicle safari. Windy, bumpy, not for the faint of heart, but riding in the back while an experienced driver surfs a Land Cruiser down dunes is not an experience to be missed. I also got a chance to skate surf down a dune at the end. Accept it: you will probably wipe out. 😊 My guide was Fares and my drivers were Yusuf and Mohammed.Thanks guys!
Great trip to the desert.
Overall, a wonderful experience. Punctual pickup from the agreed meeting point. Our guide Mila was very friendly and helpful, providing a lot of information about the sights we visited, as well as about the country and its people. He was supported by his excellent and considerate drivers (to/from the desert camp and the 4x4 desert tour). Even a change in weather with a sandstorm that shortened the desert tour could not diminish the experience.
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. 😊
