So boring!
Totally not worth it. Better to book a tour that includes the whale valley or only a private driver with no guide (50 USDollars for a whole day, just give him the trip's schedule). You only see some ruins of an old city for 3 seconds from the road driving by. During the next stop, you are asked to purchase a 45-minutes-rolling-on-the-sand jeep tour to a magic lake for 50 US Dollars (the lake is only magical during sunrise and sunset; and you can actually walk there!); otherwise, you only get a view of some rock formation, then - on the next stop - there is a manmade waterfall to look at and for 20 minutes you are sitting on a non-moving boat on a small lake ( seagulls feeding). At last, you will be taken to a small pottery shop where you can buy some handmade pottery (be aware that there is a real pottery school in the village, but the guide is not getting any money from your purchases, so you will not be taking there). I had a money-grabbing guide with me who was treating me as a cash machine. I was expected to tip, purchase drinks, and products - which were 2-10 times the normal value.

The tour is nice. Everything goes smoothly. I enjoy the activities in the tour.

Unforgettable Egypt Experience
Omar is a great tour guide! Excellent in communication skills and very easy to talk to. I was with my Aunts, both senior citizens. Omar took time to assist them and never rushed them into anything, especially aiding them up and down the mountain climb. He also takes great photos and very good in dealing with the locals. He speaks very kindly, very considerate and made sure the day is all about us, that we have a great experience with the tour and unforgettable memories of Egypt. It was scorching hot and he even said that’s the hottest he’s been out tour-guiding but he never once complained and still kept being helpful and informative. He and Karim, the driver, were very fun to be with and in fact joined us sand boarding and boat riding! The most special for me is the visit to the pottery where he shower us the kids making the pots, I bought one for my collection, it is beautiful and special bc the kids made them. Unforgettable experience. Get Omar as your tour guide and Karim as the driver, they’re fun and funny too! Kudos!
