Fantastic experience.
Five stars? They would definitely be too few.
One of the most beautiful days of my trip to Egypt, and a huge part of the credit goes to Bassem and Ahmed.
The Fayoum is already spectacular in itself: desert, dunes, lake, Wadi El Rayan, sandboarding, and landscapes that change completely within a few kilometers. But what made the experience truly special were the people with whom I experienced it.
Bassem speaks practically perfect Italian, which makes everything much easier and, above all, allows you to go beyond the usual tour explanations. He is knowledgeable, patient, helpful, and manages to tell you about the places without ever giving the impression of reciting a memorized lesson. And he is also very funny: after a little while, more than a guide, he seems like a person you are spending a day with among friends.
Ahmed was just as fantastic: friendly, patient, always smiling, and attentive to every need. No rush, no pressure, always available to stop, explain, take a photo, or simply enjoy the place.
The sandboarding on the dunes was beautiful, the views around the lake and Wadi El Rayan were stunning, and the final fish lunch was also excellent, which perfectly closed out the day.
The thing I appreciated most was the atmosphere: never the feeling of being one of many tourists dragged from one stop to another. Everything was experienced with calm, lightness, friendliness, and lots of laughter.
If I could give 10 stars, I would give 11. Five are really too few.
Thank you Bassem and Ahmed: when I think back to the Fayoum, I will inevitably think of you too. Highly recommended, without a doubt.

A decent way to add some desert fun to a Cairo trip
Booked this as our more adventurous day for our honeymoon! I enjoyed getting to see the desert. Sandboarding is so much fun going down but very much NOT fun climbing back up the steep hot sand dune and I scrapped up my wrist & ankle pretty bad on the first slide down. We also paid extra to do the 4x4 dune ride through the desert. It was an expensive add on of $50 for two and wasn’t as fast or crazy a ride as I was expecting but it was a far more interesting way to get around between locations with a couple cool moments. Our guide Essam told us info about each of the places we visited and took photos and videos for us.
Unfortunately my husband and I seem to both have caught a cold on our flight over so neither of us were feeling very well and we ended the tour early so we missed the boat ride and pottery town but I appreciated Essam understanding and taking us back early.

Unforgettable Experience !
At first, I thought I would be joining a group, but it turned out to be a private tour! Loved it! I had such a great day in Al Fayyum with Iman and Ahmed. They were such super lovely, kind, warm-hearted and easy-going people. I felt comfortable with them from the very beginning, and they made the whole day feel relaxed and enjoyable.
They were always looking out for me and really cared about my comfort, safety and overall experience. They were super attentive, helpful and genuinely friendly. They wanted me to have the best possible experience.
It was so sweet and cute of Iman to take so many photos of me throughout the day. That was such a lovely little detail :)
Al Fayum itself is absolutely beautiful and definitely a place you have to see when you’re in Egypt.
The views are amazing, people are lovely, and the whole area has such a special atmosphere. I also booked the extra safari to Magic Lake, which I would definitely recommend to everyone! It was such a fun experience and definitely worth adding to the tour. I would do this at the very end, after sandboarding etc so you can jump into the water and go for a swim afterwards :D
The safari is not included in the tour price, so if you’d like to do it, just let your tour guide know in advance :)
The only thing I didn’t really like was that we couldn’t stay longer on the Felucca. I would have really enjoyed spending more time on the boat and just relaxing there. We had to leave because the safari driver was waiting for us. I understand that I booked the safari spontaneously, but I still think this could have been planned a little better so we could enjoy the Felucca for a bit longer…It’s not something you get to experience every day, so I would have preferred to have more time there!
I would honestly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Egypt.
Even though I’ve done this tour before, I would definitely do it again on my next trip :D
You can never get enough of Al Fayyum…

we in Ponza with the family
We just returned from a long weekend in Ponza and the B&B Oasi was a wonderful surprise! The rooms are equipped with every comfort and the cleanliness is truly exceptional. The breakfast was delicious, rich in fresh fruit, homemade pastries, and a fantastic yogurt of their own production. A special thanks to Giuseppe and his mother Silvia for the wonderful welcome: they made us feel at home.

Good experience
I was with the driver Issam, a good driver and a nice welcome, and I was also with Rania, the guide; she is great, she welcomed me well and put me at ease. Plus she tries to speak French because I don't understand English and it was perfect, kind, she is top-notch. And the place was magnificent.
