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!

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!

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.

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.

Fahd is a very friendly and funny guide, speaks excellent English and manages to get coffee for everyone even in the middle of the desert. Highly recommended.

The tour was amazing, not so popular as a lot of other tours but it's probably the most beautiful thing we have done during our vacation in Egypt. Our guide Karma is a very nice and kind person, well prepared and it is a pleasure to talk with her. Also the 2 drivers that accompanied us through the highway and the desert have been perfect!
