One of our best experiences ever on a trip!!!
The tour was honestly amazing! It was very well organised and Moustafa is a very professional guide, he always made sure that we were good and that we were enjoying ourselves. Drinks and water were provided every time we needed it and the food that they cooked for us was some of the best we had during our trip to Egypt. Moustafa and Ahmed were super friendly and helpful overall and made sure to show us some amazing views and spots across the dessert. Couldn’t recommend this trip more!!!

Well run tours with excellent guides
Great experience overall! Ashraf drove us around the desert skillfully, was a great guide who spoke good English and had a strong geography foundation, and cooked us up a delicious feast in the middle of the desert. The combination of skillsets was quite unique and made my experience in the park. Logistics were also well handled so I was picked up from my hostel in a timely manner. The places we saw were beautiful and the experience of camping under the stars was unforgettable. I highly recommend this experience to any travellers looking for a bit of adventure, slightly off the beaten path in Egypt.

First of all, I liked...
First of all, I liked that the staff at the travel agency followed up well after making the reservation. The tour itself was actually one day, and the second day was mostly a return trip. In addition to visits to the white and black desert, camping in the desert were all very fun. We slept on a mattress without tent (it was optional). The experience of sleeping under the stars was a precious and unforgettable experience. The foods in the desert were also special!

Amazing tour for the white desert
Amir organised the tour very well and always tried his best to accommodate everyone’s requests. All the drivers and staff were very friendly and made us all feel very comfortable. The landscapes were stunning and the food very homely and tasted great. The hotel room was very comfy. We took the 2 night and 3 day tour which was a bit more relaxed than the overnight version and included some time in bahariya oasis. I would highly recommend this tour.
