Great day out
Great experience to a beautiful oasis. Sand surfing was fun. We paid the extra money to do the trip to the magic lake which was really fun. Would recommend.

Fun experience
I had a great tour and experience with Essam El Garhy as our tour guide. He made the tour even more fun, he was also very patient. I highly recommend this tour with him.

Good tour and humorous guide
Both the guide and the driver were very kind, and especially the guide essam was pleasant. Luckily, I was able to fully feel the tour at a time when there were no people. I liked the fact that we didn't have a separate sale and we felt like we were having fun together.

A fantastic day in the desert and next to the cairo
This day in Wadi el Rayn was just what we were looking for: to discover the desert for the first time, but in the best possible way: comfortably and with someone to explain every detail. The braco walk along the oasis lake and launch us by sanboard has been 🔝 Special mention to our guide Omar who has done an excellent job explaining every detail of all the stops and taking care of us at all times. Without him it wouldn't have been the same And also our driver Ahmed who has taken us perfectly throughout the trip!👏👏🙌🙌

Fantastic place
You never can imagine to find an oasis like this in the Sahara desert. Special thanks to the guide Eman for her great job. Recommended

Excellent day
A very good day spent with our Essam guide and our driver. Essam's explanations were precise and very interesting. He also had attention for us, to fight this heat! We were taken to the hotel on time, summered up to El Fayoum (with toilet break on the road), saw the desert, lake, waterfalls, took a felucca ride, made sandskate, ate in a good local restaurant. On the way back, we visited a spice shop with very interesting explanations from a French seller, then visited a perfume and papyrus shop... It was the shop too many.... With exorbitant prices! Thanks to Essam for a wonderful day! 😍

Private tour
Beautiful views but everything else was terrible. Our tour guide was extremely money hungry. Every person you converse with she wants you to give them money. It made us feel so uncomfortable. We couldn’t even finish our lunch because we had a million flies landing on our food which is so unsanitary. Book this tour if you want to be extorted!
