Traveler reviews
This was last minute...
This was last minute decision and I'm so glad we went. The ride down was great, I loved looking at houses and vehicles. The 4x4 drive was so much fun! (Prepare to get dusty). The Whale fossils and museum were great. The rock formations were great. The view of the lower lake was great. The waterfalls were great. The lunch afterwards was great. I slept the whole ride back. I loved our guide and both our drivers. My husband is a photographer, and he said he appreciated that he was never rushed. He was free to take photos at his pace.
Amazing experience to Whales Valley & Wadi El Ryan
We had a wonderful experience with the excursion. Haytham (tour guide) and Hesham (driver) pick us up from our residence and then drove to Alfayoum. When we got to Alfayoum, we were greeted with traditional breakfast.(falafel sandwiches) , water, tea, and juice. We stopped along the way at the great lake for some pictures. Then we headed to the camp, change cars, and a driver to go on our 4 x 4 Safari trip headed to Valley of the Wales. Mohamed (driver) is very skilled arriving in the desert. Haytham our tour guide was very knowledgeable sharing information and also allow us free time for ourselves. He even made additional stop and shared and amazing experience with us viewing the lower wadi lake from higher point( breath taking). We then headed to Wadi Al Ryan and on the way, we stopped by Quaroon lake, and saw the waterfall. Towards the end of the trip, we headed back to the camp for Bedouin lunch and then headed back to Cairo. It was an amazing experience and highly recommended
Wonderful trip....
Wonderful trip. Educational and amazing sights. Long hot day in desert but our guide Haisam took care of us well and kept it very interesting.
Fast and good communicators
It was great. Driver and guide just for us. I loved the way Ahmed explained things, leaving us time to ourselves. Highly recommended.
A day at the ocean through the desert!
We got interested to wadi al -hitan through a tv documentary but we could never imagine to get in love to this place thanks to the tour guide delivered by Mahmoud. We had great smiles and got enriched by a lot of history. We cannot forget also the funny 4x4 trip in the desert which contributed to this amazing experience.
