Top day with Youssef

Spectacular experience with Youssef, wonderful boy, very prepared, perfect guide for your tour in Italian or English, in the end he even took us to a museum to have us explain how the papyrus was made. The tour exceeded our expectations we had so much fun, experience to do necessarily if you are at the cairo. Highly recommended. We thank Youssef for the day.

Fajoum

Today I booked a private tour to El Fajoum and Wadi Rayan waterfalls, and I want to share my impressions. The trip began with a warm welcome from my guide, Rania, and the driver. A bond was established from the very beginning. Upon arrival, she told me many interesting stories about this magical place. Then we saw the waterfall, an incredible sight in the middle of the desert, and again, the lovely guide shared some interesting facts. Then we took a boat ride to the lake where we fed the birds, who took bread from our hands. Then, we went sandboarding, unforgettable moments, and a return to childhood, followed by delicious food. To sum up, today was an unforgettable day full of wonderful moments, largely thanks to my guide, Rania, and the gentle driver, who opened the door every time we entered and exited the car. Thank you very much, and I recommend it to everyone who wants to see this magical place. With kind regards and thanks, Ewa Simonkova

An exciting tour on the outskirts of Cairo

We loved the tour. The communication (in Spanish) and the attentions of the guide Omar Abdo were excellent. The different activities included in the tour were very entertaining and exciting. Stunning scenery, and food in Tunis was delicious. We'd definitely come back.

Great trip

The trip is pretty well organized, we had a packed day and did a dune suv ride, sandboarding, waterfall trip and boat ride. Megoo is an amazing guide, very considerate and knowledgeable. Would recommend!

A day in the Desert

The tour to El Fayoum Desert and Wadi Rayan Waterfall was amazing. We climbed the mountains, did a boat ride and sandboarded at the dunes near the Waterfall. The trip was smooth thanks to our driver Abdo and our Tour Guide Omar was very informative and we had great conversations. They also gave us time to see all tne sites and the tour wasn't rushed at all. All in all a great experience and definitely recommend.

Moutain

Yousef and Ahmed were wonderful for the tour, they were kind and courteous. Explained so much. I had a great time and they were truly down to earth. I would definitely book again. Yousef even helped me get up a mountain for the first time.

Fantastic experience

We had a tour led by the guide Megoo and the driver Ahmet Ramses. Fantastic men! Indicated neatly when they arrived exactly for the pickup. were open and friendly, which immediately gave a familiar feeling. Also very nice that good and clear English was spoken. The drive to the beginning of the tour is quite a bit of a drive, especially from our hotel in Heliopolis (east Cairo). Along the way, things were constantly told where we passed. So was not specifically part of the tour, but extra informative conversation material, which made the drive there quickly pass. Also very nice that along the way they just stopped somewhere to try a local snack. This way you were really taken more into the Egyptian way of life. Despite the somewhat chaotic traffic in the region, the driver had a very calm and controlled driving style which gave a lot of confidence. The first destination was a 4x4 ride through a stretch of desert. I'm not going to reveal too much, but it was a very nice and hilarious ride. Stopped along the way for beautiful views and sandboarding in this beautiful environment. Then to the El Faiyum oasis. An idyllic spot with a beautiful a waterfall complex. The trip continued with a boat trip on the so-called 'lower lake'. A very friendly 'captain' was waiting for us to sail around the lake. Along the way we were accompanied by a flock of birds that stayed gracefully floating around the boat. After a refreshing drink, the trip continued to a local pottery where it was explained and demonstrated how this family business worked. Next is of course the possibility to buy something from their shop. Of course we bought some nice attributes, also for a nice price. The trip ended around 16.00 with lunch. It might seem a little late, but with the snacks on the way, that was great timing. The lunch was well catered for and tasty. We were lucky enough that the room was also filled with another group of people, which only added to the atmosphere. Then the drive home started where the guide had to stop somewhere for a surprising drink this time. In short, a very nice tour led by fantastic people. I highly recommend this guide with driver for an unforgettable day!

An absolutely exquisite escape into the breathtaking Fayoum Oasis 🌵✨

From the moment we got picked up and arrived at our destination , every detail of this experience felt thoughtfully curated. Our exceptional guide, Iman, brought the desert to life with her deep knowledge, warmth, and effortless elegance, truly elevating the journey into something unforgettable. A special mention to our skilled driver, whose mastery over drive through the hectic Cairo traffic and to the desert, both drives were seamless and comfortable. We especially loved the exhilarating 4-wheel drive adventure across the golden dunes, hills and followed by a refreshing and serene swim—pure bliss in the heart of the desert. We were so pleased to be offered a variety of experiences, allowing us to enjoy the very best Fayoum has to offer. Lunch at Tunis Village Hotel was another highlight—an elegant setting paired with wonderfully authentic cuisine that perfectly complemented the day’s experience. From start to finish, it was a beautifully balanced blend of adventure, luxury, and tranquillity, what a truly memorable time. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a unique and indulgent desert escape in Egypt. 🇪🇬✨
