Unforgettable Desert Experience with Marwan & Dohy!

I had a truly amazing and magical experience during my 2-day desert camping trip. From the start, our guides Marwan and Dohy were incredibly nice, professional, and friendly. They made sure everything was perfect, and their energy made the trip even more special. The camping under the stars was a highlight of my Egypt trip. If you're looking for an authentic and well-organized desert tour, I highly recommend Sub Pyramid Tour. Thank you Marwan and Dohy for the beautiful memories!

Good experience but several things to improve

The experience of sleeping in the desert is amazing. What you should consider is the following. The itinerary is not respected (we were not taken to the hot springs), on the second day you do practically nothing and the excursion ends around 4/5pm but you do not get lunch therefore from 7am to 4/5pm DO NOT EAT.

Wonderful!!!!

A truly wonderful experience. Accompanied by the best people. Omar Saleh, our guide in the desert, charming, friendly, super attentive and explained everything to us perfectly. Our driver, Sahara machine, took care of us and took us to the coolest places. He made us some super warm tents. A delicious meal. Undoubtedly, an experience you have to do yes or yes if you visit Egypt. Thank you so much to Sun Piramids for the great organization and especially to Omar Saleh for explaining, guiding and accompanying us as just another friend of the group.

Never forgettable experience

Hamad Sayed was a very good guide. Watching the sun slowly set over a land covered only in sand and rocks, feeling the cold, then seeing the moon rise from the opposite side, the darkness falling and stars filling the sky like a 180-degree planetarium, sleeping in the tent while freezing, waking up in the morning to the rising sun and warmth, feeling the grandeur of nature.

Desert unique

Omar Saleh has been an incredible guide for this trip. Our visit at the White Desert has been quite easy with him. A two-day family experience where he has been part of it. Great organisation! Congrats!

Superb excursion to the white desert

Extraordinary getaway with Abdullah who very kindly accompanied us to discover the crystal mountain, the valley of al-agabat. We are out of time during these 2 days Special mention to our driver-cook Shaaban 🙏

Best Time in Bahariya Oasis!

Had a great time at the Bahariya Oasis with Marwan! His English was great, he had an incredible sense of humor, kept me well informed, offered to take several (incredible) photos in all the right spots, and seems wise beyond his years. The driver, Ahmed, was a very talented & experienced driver. He expertly handled the vehicle through the Oasis. He made it adventurous without feeling unsafe. He was jovial and had a great attitude. The experience itself will be with me for a lifetime! Thank you so much!!

One night sleeping under the stars in the awe-inspiring White Desert

My partner and I went on an overnight excursion to the White Desert, accompanied by our guide Omar Saleh. The White Desert is absolutely stunning, and before reaching it, there are a few stops in the Black Desert, which also offers a hauntingly beautiful landscape. Camping overnight in the White Desert is a truly peaceful and lovely experience—with the sky full of stars and complete silence all around you. Dinner and breakfast, prepared on-site by the desert drivers, were delicious, and the fact that it was homemade added a special touch to the whole experience. The journey from Cairo to the White Desert is quite long. First, you drive for over four hours, and then switch to a jeep to reach the desert and make there some stops. Just before changging the vehicle, there's a break for lunch and refresh. Make sure to ask for a stop during the long drive—even if it's just to stretch your legs, use the toilet, or grab a snack. On the way back, if we hadn’t asked, they wouldn’t have offered to stop. Other than that, we did miss having a bit more explanation about what we were seeing in the desert —like map references, some basic geological facts, or interesting stories about the deserts. That said, it doesn’t take away from how breathtaking the landscapes and nature are. We felt safe and relaxed at all times. Oh, and a heads-up: be careful with some of the hot springs—they left a few stains on our swimsuits, possibly metallic, so you might want to bring an old one just in case.
