Good.
Very good experience with a guide (essam) and driver (ahmed) at the top. Very nice visit to the desert and several shops (pottery, tea, spices, perfume and papyrus) I recommend ++ .

Wonderful experience
I had an amazing day in the Fayoum with my tourguide Mohamed and our driver Tony. They showed me beautiful places in the desert and the Fayoum region. Sandboarding was such a fun activity.

excellent experience
Fayoum We had a one-day tour in Fayoum, Egypt, with our guide Essam and driver Ahmed, and it was an excellent experience. The tour included a beautiful and untouched desert, sandboarding, a boat ride, stunning waterfalls, and a lake in the middle of the desert, as well as a pottery workshop, all of which made the experience even more special. The tour was organized exactly as planned, and everything that had been promised was fully delivered. Essam was very knowledgeable and explained everything clearly, with patience and genuine interest. He made the history and culture easy to understand and engaging. The lunch was clean and very tasty. Both Essam and Ahmed did their very best to make sure we had a great time and to deepen our understanding of Egypt. We are very grateful to them and highly recommend this tour to others.

Trip with Essam, very good!
We went to a tour with Essam and it was really amazing. He explained a lot during the car rides and when we stopped at our destinations, so I learned a lot and it was really good. He was really friendly and always answered our questions. The driver (Ahmed) was also really friendly and nice. It was an amazing day, really recommend!

Perfect Day Trip to El Fayum with an Outstanding Team
I recently had the pleasure of taking a day trip to El Fayum Oasis, and it was truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish. One of highlights of the trip was undoubtedly climbing to the top of the mountain. The views were absolutely breathtaking and made every step worthwhile. The suggestion to include a desert safari in the itinerary was spot on—it added a real sense of adventure and excitement, making the day even more special. I would also like to commend our driver, Ahmed, who drove exceptionally well. I felt completely safe and at ease throughout the journey, which allowed me to fully enjoy the experience. Our guide, Iman, was equally outstanding. She was highly professional, knowledgeable, and approachable. She answered every question I had with patience and clarity, and engaging in conversation with her was truly a pleasure. Her enthusiasm and friendliness greatly enhanced the overall trip. The price reflects the kind of experience that you can have. I would highly recommend booking an exploration with both Ahmed and Iman. Together, they make an excellent team and ensure a memorable and thoroughly enjoyable adventure for anyone visiting El Fayum.

Great Trip - Amazing Waterfall
Our trip to El Fayoum was a great experience. We enjoyed seeing the farm land and the desert. It was great to see a less populated part of Egypt. Our guide, Iman, provided information throughout the trip and answered our numerous questions. She adjusted our schedule to fit our requests. When she learned one of us enjoyed bird watching, she added a short bird watching stop! Great trip!
