Marwan was a wonderful guide. Very helpful and always accommodating. The driver of the desert jeep was also very helpful and good sense of humour. Highly recommended.

It was a wonderful, unique experience that we will remember forever. Our guide, Hani, was very kind and cheerful. The 4x4 drivers were excellent, too. It gets cold at night in the desert, so make sure you have warm clothes and I suggest you to take thermals for sleep.

While booking this experience, we didn't really know much about what to expect but the trip exceeded every expectation we could have. Our guide, Kareim, was very funny, energetic, and helpful throughout the whole trip. Together with our bedouin guide, Mohammed, they created a very exciting atmosphere during the trip and showed us around beautiful places. Spending the night in the desert was something that was really worth doing, and the food cooked by Mohammed was absolutely delicious. We had a full moon during our trip so if you want to see stars, make sure the moon is not full since it is really bright during the night. Overall, we really recommend this activity!

I did this with my girlfriend. Easily the best tour I booked while in Egypt: the communication from the start was fluent, very professional, I was picked up punctually and everything went according to plan, as it was promised on the itinerary. Our guide Mahmood was very polite and friendly, he made our experience unforgettable. The desert itself was amazing, specially the landscapes as it makes you feel as in a dream or in another planet. And at night, the view of the stars was incredibly beautiful. First time in my life I could clearly see the milky way. Also, to my surprise, the dinner I had was probably one of the best meals I had in Egypt. Keep in mind that this is camping, so by the end of the tour you will want to take a deep shower, book a massage, or rest in a nice hotel or spa. You’ll end up tired. Anyway, I highly recommend this trip with this tour company. It was one of my best highlights in Egypt.

We couldn't ask for a better experience. This trip was the perfect escape from the chaos of Cairo to join pure peace and connection with nature. If you love the outdoors and want to meet amazing local people, this is definitely the place to go! Our guide Marwan was super friendly — it honestly felt like spending time with a friend rather than a guide. Our drivers Mohamed and Fully were fantastic too, always kind and professional and really took care of us in the desert with delicious food! And the communication with Nada in our mother language was super smooth. We felt so welcomed and cared for, and spending the night under that beautiful starry sky is something we’ll never forget! Thanks a lot guys!

We liked the tour a lot. Our Guide Abdu was real nice, helpful and had a lot of information about Egypt. Also all the guy helping for the Tend and cook were great people. We enjoyed it a lot

Perhaps slightly more effective air con in the cars. Not a big deal. A little more detail in the description by GYG. Especially anticipated home time and emphasis that it us camping with no facilities.
