Can do better
The part in the desert was great, the sights, the bivouac the meal... really good.
For the part before and after reviewing some things. No upstream communication I had to restart by Viator to get in touch and after difficult to get answers. 4 h trip in the back seat of a 6 seater where the seats are good for the children...horrible...on the return it was a vehicle with 6 real seats so normal.. Similarly, back from the desert, around noon, not a refreshment or a DIY to eat but quickly back to Cairo...even if not explicitly precise, could be offered given the price...
So desert 5 barely remains 3.

MUST-HAVE, IMPRESSIVE AND UNFORGETTABLE
** CONSTANTLY EVOLVING!! THEY ARE PROFESSIONALS WHO TAKE EVERY COMMENT INTO ACCOUNT AND CORRECT IT: AC for most of the journey, diverse and inclusive menus for the most veggies, sleeping bags ...etc)**
I loved the experience so much that I wouldn’t know where to start:
From the moment I decided to travel to Egypt and discovered this experience it was my main goal to sleep in the White Desert.
I don’t know if it was a right or a wrong to go straight as I landed, because it has exceeded my expectations and I now compare it with the rest of the experiences in Egypt (and they were already high):
-Since the communication with Mohey, who has been watching my collection at all times 😌. Attentive to my needs and able to entertain me with his conversation ... assured laughter (regardless of my basic but intuitive level of English 🤣🤷🏻♀️). Concerned about constantly improving service and treatment to customers.
-The great driving, patience and accompaniment of “Tsico” during this long road trip is ensured. He is a professional capable of keeping an eye on the whole diverse group we were going. Tsico is a wonderful, very prudent and good person.
And I have no words to describe Mohammed and Hani... NO WORDS! you have to meet them in person:
Charming from the first moment and you will not find guides, drivers, cooks and photographers like them..🥰😎. They are professionals who move in the desert like fish in the water, making the experience a comfortable and wild home (in a controlled way and adapted to the whole group). They welcome you with a smile and after a while of driving in their 4x4 they serve you a fresh and very rich meal. (What a fantasy to see so much man cooking🥳🥳, a luxury)
It was amazing his driving with wind and sand, being prudent and not doubting them at any time. They have a great camp where they welcome you giving you their best version. I encourage you to watch them cook for everyone and create a pleasant space to enjoy the night in the desert. They handle any inconvenience with diligence and I repeat: A LOT OF PATIENCE! because we are each different personally and culturally.
Enjoy your driving on dunes, laugh like a girl sandboarding, and enjoy every moment of this experience is thanks to them: Mohammed and Hani, thank you for everything🤗
I RECOMMEND THIS EXPERIENCE AND ENCOURAGE SPANISH SPEAKERS BECAUSE WHEN PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO LIVE TOGETHER, HAVE THE COMFORTS OF A CAMPING, AND COLLABORATE TO CREATE A GOOD ATMOSPHERE IT DOES NOT TAKE MORE 😌YOU WILL NOT REGRET!! I just came and I already want to go back to that store under the stars brushing my teeth 🫠... a fantasy!
This team is impressive and make an excursion a vital experience, they are dedicated and empathetic people who live for and for tourism without rest.
Attached photos but really, you have to live it🤩🤩!!!

To do!!
The journey is a bit long but worth it! The desert is amazing: dine under a super starry sky and desert fox to keep us company!

One night in White Desert
Incredible experience, to live at least once in his life, as much on the night part in the desert as the part 4x4 ride in the desert, unforgettable!

Bad experience
Had a bad experience with this tour operator. The tour operator did not share the itinerary with us, it ended in us having to go back to our hotels without completing the tour and getting our money back.

Rustic and fun tour of Egypt’s desert landscapes
This was an amazing chance to see the scenery of the white and black deserts!
After a long drive from Cairo we arrived at Bahareya oasis, this is where the adventure really begins. We met our driver Mostafa and begun out scenic drive through the desert landscapes, stopping for photos along the way. We set up camp on the desert, our guide was extremely adept at getting the tents set up and cooking us dinner. I slept under the stars rather than in the tent provided (definitely bring a big coat if you want to do this).
Of course, the tour is a little rustic - I believe this is part of the charm and this did not detract from my experience at all. However you should be aware that you will spend long time in the car (not all air conditioned) and there are no facilities whatsoever in the desert. As long as you are prepared for this then you will have the most amazing experience!

Fantastic
White Dessert & Black Dessert 2 – Cairo, Egypt
Amazing dessert spot! The quality is excellent and everything tastes fresh and perfectly balanced—not overly sweet. Presentation is beautiful, portions are generous, and there’s a great variety to choose from. The staff are friendly and fast, and the place is clean and well organized. Definitely one of the best dessert places in Cairo. Highly recommended for anyone with a dessert lover
If you want it shorter, more casual, or more fancy, tell me where you’re posting it and I’ll tweak it. Special thanks also to our tour guide Adriano thank you for a service ❤️

Must-have trip to the desert
It was lots of fun! The drivers were very hospitable, the food was very tasty, and the tents were cozy - we had sleep bags and a warm blanket, and a pretty thick sleeping mat. We were warm at night. The night sky at the camp is amazing. We saw a beautiful sunset and sunrise. Lots of stops along the way with interesting spots, plus the sandboarding. At the desert there's no signal, so no contact with the world, but that allows you to take a break from social media and such :)

Horny desert trip with great organizers
Authentic food, unique scenery, super organized.
Ahmed and Muhammad are really great people. You just have to tell them what you need, so if you need water or want tea, or even smoke a water pipe in the desert, you just have to tell them, so don’t wait for it, just actively approach them.
One should also know that it is a nature experience, toilets or something like that do not exist in the desert!
We went with Ahmed and he gave us a bit more action and a bit more driving the sand dunes, Mega was fun.
Thanks to the guys, for the tour, the organization and their open and very welcoming nature :)
Can only be recommended to anyone!
Thank you!
