Hakiem showed me a very good time in El Fayoum! We left early from Cairo and had breakfast on the way (tasty falafels!), before arriving at Wadi El Rayan. I enjoyed seeing the desert, fossilized whales, and the waterfalls there! Hakiem was professional and I’m grateful to have had him as guide!

El lugar es muy bonito, ir en el automóvil 4x4 subiendo por las dunas de arena en el desierto increíble, el museo y ver los fósiles de las ballenas muy interesante, el sandbording muy bueno también y divertido. Sin embargo pagamos por un guía en español y el mismo no hablaba mucho el español. El conductor no se sabía el camino nos perdimos 3 veces, no fuimos a la cascadas no se si en algún momento preguntó si queríamos o no ir pero en inglés y respondimos mal y no fuimos (nosotros no hablamos muy bien el inglés) y el guía fumaba dentro del carro y en frente de nosotros. En el lugar de la comida había una cantidad impresionante de moscas que dificultaba comer.

Day trip to Faiyum did not disappoint!! Started with the drive in the desert to Wadi el Rayan to see the fossils, then to Magic Lake and the water falls. Finished up back at camp with a delicious authentic meal. Hamada was a wonderful tour guide. Extremely friendly and helped make the trip special. Thank you to Hamada and everyone involved in the excursion. Highly recommend.

My recent tour to Wadi El Hitan and Wadi El Rayan was excellent, thanks in large part to my good guide, Hakiem, and my skilled driver, Hisham. Hakiem took me to breathtaking scenic spots outside the standard itinerary, enriching the entire experience as well. Hisham's expert driving through the challenging Egyptian roads was impressive and ensured a smooth and safe journey. I highly recommend this tour and, and thank you Hakiem and Hisham for their great service!
