Surpassed my very high expectations!!
The tour was great today. Fares is a wonderful professional. He took so many great photos, always supplied water and informed us of the plan and chatted as much or as little as you liked about Egypt from its history to current political status. Really enjoyed it and the fact that it wasn’t too busy with tourists. Magical places and natural views of tons of lakes and waterfalls - unexpected for Egypt!. 10/10
He literally pushed me to experience new things. Like PUSHED me to help me learn to sandboard! Great fun and always felt safe as solo female traveler. I was with a true ‘friend’ vs a ‘hired guide’.
This tour is definitely not for children or those who get car sick. Likely not great for really tall or heavy people as you may bounce around in the car. You’re in a nice car for 90-120 min drive outside of Cairo, then transfer to 4x4 for the adventure. It’s as wild as you want it to be - ie. Try sitting out the window of the car to capture great views and videos while you cruise over dunes. If you booked as private group you could likely tailor the level of intensity the 4x4 driver delivers.
Would highly recommend guests also bring bathing suit / extra clothes and towel to perhaps take a dip in Magic Lake. This wasn’t made clear to me before the tour so I didn’t have anything to swim.
Only point of constructive feedback - if you’re a big fan of riding camels perhaps discuss before the ride how long. It turned out to be 12 min very basic straight line trek. If all you want is a photo on a camel, it does the trick. I would have enjoyed a bit more time and going through the dunes or along the lovely lake shores a bit more. But I’m admittedly very very picky!

Not forgettable experience
The tour was absolutely fantastic. Fakhry was great fun and very kind, allowing us to take the time we wanted and supplied us with food & drink when we needed it. The 4x4 driver Saleh was incredible and very skilled. The Bedouin lunch was delicious. The sand boarding was great fun. We would 100% recommend the tour to our friends, and would use you again ourselves. Thank you for a great day!

Delightful trip
Fares was the best Egyptian guide I ever met, patient and attentive. Today's play program is good too, but it's all the more joyful because of his service. I sincerely thank him for that!

Fun guaranteed
One of the adventures I will never forget! I was picked up directly from my apartment by Tour Leader Rami Afifi a wonderful person, kind, polite and helpful, I had chosen the package only Quad ride but Rami made this experience unforgettable, person at hand that led me to visit even the first quality shops very nice from which I bought something for me, the Quad was in excellent condition, I had equipped myself with long pants for fear of the muffler uncovered but there was no need, the quad ride lasted the set time if not more, no one ever put pressure on me for time or to buy things! I felt really free experience that I will repeat absolutely with friends as soon as I return to Egypt 5 stars are few it would take the sixth for seriousness and commitment.

Great trip to the desert
We has a wonderful day with Fakhry Mohamaed. He was a very thoughtful guide and let us enjoy the activities and take our time as much as we want.
We did a few stops to enjoy the waterfalls and the mountains views and we had a nice camel ride in the morning. Then we had lunch which was delicious in a small camp. In the afternoon, we enjoyed some sandsurfing which was really fun.
This only thing that was a little disappointinf was the dune bashing which was small. Not a lot of dunes ;)
Again, thanks to our wonderfully guide!
I would recommend this excursion

Awesome experience
Ramy was probably the best tour guide I’ve had in life, informative and will make sure you have fun. Will share his snacks with you too. 5/5 highly recommend this tour if you’re into sightseeing and heights.

Horrible tour
The drive took 3+ hours each way. The experiences were mostly boring at best. The dune bashing was no more than a few hills on an ordinary road. The waterfalls were crowded and we were not allowed to go down to them. And lastly, after the tour got started, I was then told I owed more money bc my hotel was out of the way (it wasn’t). Would not recommend this tour or the tour company.
