Super fun day!!
Our guide Fakhry Mohamaed was the perfect, energetic, fun loving guide for this type of tour! As others have mentioned in their comments- the morning starts pretty slow. It took us 2.5 hours from pickup to the 4x4 vehicles, but we believe some of this time was due to a national holiday. Either way, pack your patience and plan your time appropriately because it’s worth it once you start!
Snacks and water bottles were purchased along the way which came in handy as our adventures started.
A 4x4 ride into the wadi el ryaan national park including a complementary drink (tea/coffee) stop, camel ride near the lake, and pictures of the waterfalls. Dune bashing in the 4x4s, “hiking” the top of the mountains for amazing desert views, delicious bbq lunch, and sand boarding was all so much fun! The local “Egypt rap” was a highlight in our vehicle!
The slow start to the morning meant we were rushed getting back for a late hotel checkout (6:00pm), but our guide and driver did everything they could to make up time for us. A highlight of our trip for sure!

FUN IN THE SUN!
Don’t miss this tour! I had a BLAST! The sites were gorgeous. They will help take a zillion pictures,
and the day is jammed packed with fun. We did so much! This was a full day of bliss. I can’t say enough. I would just advise you to take this tour before you leave as you won’t be disappointed. You will see beautiful sites, and do a bunch of fun things. The sand boarding was the best! TAKE THIS TOUR! I have memories that will last a lifetime! Thanks for a fun day!

The best trip in my life ever! 200% recommended!
My guide Fakhry is the best tour guide I’ve ever seen - he is super helpful, knowledgeable and really took care of me during the whole trip. Even though I did not ask for, he helped me to take lots of wonderful pictures and prepared all the things I might need in advance. Not only that, I am a solo traveller and what I love Fakhry most is he genuinely enjoyed the time with me, making me feel like I am going on a trip with my friend!
My drivers Tarek and Ali are also super nice and really took care of me during the trip - I really loved the music they are playing in the car and the safari was amazing!
Besides, I really loved the arrangement and Sandboarding is the one I like the most - would like to play that again! 200% will come back again! Highly recommend this tour and the guide! Thank you for all the arrangement!

An amazing oasis experience
An amazing trip to the desert oasis. The dune riding in the 4x4 was spectacular, the bedouin meal was surprsingly delicious, the camel riding fun and the scenery was intensely beautiful. Rami the guide was excellent.

Good day but too expensive
The driver was on time and both him and the tour guide were very friendly.
It took 2 hours to drive to the 4x4 and then we were in the car for about another hour where we went 'dune bashing'
We saw the waterfall which was beautiful and had a camel ride which was great (and much longer than expected)
We then saw the magic lake, went sand boarding which was fun and ate lunch (the nicest of all the tours we've been on)
Although we had a good day, we'd probably say that it isn't worth the price we paid for the ticket as it was quite expensive.

Amazing experience in the desert!!
I started my unforgettable trip to Egypt doing this tour to the desert from Cairo. Such a great experience on a 4X4, trying delicious barbecue lunch in a camp, camel ride and learning a new skill doing sand surf.
100% recommended!!

Such a wonderful experience🫶
The Egyptian dessert, specially Fayoum deserves to be experienced at least once in life. This experience was amazing, we were falling in love with this beautiful dessert from the 4x4, the magic lake or the views from the top of the mountains… everything was possible because of Khaled who has became in our guide, our driver and our friend. We feel extremely thankful to him for being so nice, protective and lovely. He made us discovered the real Egypt in one week and we are very sure we will come back just to spend more time with him, because we’re pretty sure he will let us know more about this incredible country.

A must do!
Super fun day in the desert! It was wonderful to get out of the city and experience the beautiful desert, sand dunes, lakes and waterfall. The 4x4s were not Jeeps but pretty old vehicles. Z did a great job navigating all of the necessary checkpoints as we are Americans and he told us there were special requirements. This trip really is about the journey… trusting people to take you out in the unknown on a unique, one of a kind adventure. I highly recommend this trip!!! It was one of our favorite days. I got up on the sand boards and off I went down the dune! 4/5 due to the mixups with vehicles and guides… but we loved it!

Fantastic Day At A Desert Oasis
This was an incredible day in the desert. Our guide Ahmed provided an interesting narrative as we drove from Cairo through Faroum toward Wadi Al Rayan. We then embarked on a short camel ride, a short hike to the waterfall and a more strenuous hike up one of the hills for a view. We were joined by Mohamed, a member of the local tribe, who drove us through sand dunes, treated us to a traditional bedouin lunch and taught us how to ride down sand dunes. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who enjoys outdoor activities and natural beauty, and wants to visit a preserved desert oasis.
