A Long Day But Worth It. - We saw lots of birds and Ashy was kind enough to supply me with a copy of his book with it's beautiful photos. We also had a good lunch at a nice place to end the day. I enjoyed seeing some of Egypt outside of the big city too.

Awesome tour! - A friendly guide with passion in birds. He did the necessary planning to ensure a good birding experience. He has also written a book on the birds of Faiyum Oasis and Nile valley.

Full-day birdwatching at Fayoum - Before coming to Egypt, I was looking for a one day birding excursion prior to my organized trip. Through Tripadvisor, such a tour was available to go to Fayoum. This was a spendid day, the guide was on time and the birds were there as this is part of the migration period. The guide was knowledgeable of the area and brought me to good birding locations throughout the oasis in and around Qarum lake. I would recommend this tour if you are in Cairo, even if your not that keen on birding, just to visit this beautiful area of Egypt. A successful day tour thanks to Mr Mohamed Ashmawy.

Great Birding Tour - A great birdwatching experience in a much, much quieter part of Egypt than Cairo or Alexandria. Ashy did a great job getting us to the best spots to see birds and helping both spot and identify them. We also enjoyed a lunch with views of the Nile, and easy transport to and from Cairo. Highly recommend!

Great experience including flamingo - This was a great opportunity to see local birds in unconventional places along the roadside. Mohamed was knowledgeable and focused to make this a good experience to see a wide variety of birds. The flamingos were a sight to behold in the Qaroun Protected Area. We ended the experience with fresh squeezed juice at a local restaurant before the drive back to Giza.

An expensive drive to Fayoum without a bird guide. - Be warned, this is not a birdwatching tour. We were expecting a tour to see the birds of Fayoum with a guide knowledgeable of the birds of the area. Unfortunately our guide had no knowledge of the birds, he only knew a few of the sites that the tour is supposed to stop at for birds. We were given a paper with a few birds found in the area that is full of errors. We were told to tell the guide when we wanted to stop along the way to look for birds. For the price of this tour, a knowledgable bird guide should be expected, with knowledge of the area and places to stop for target species. Our guide made the most of the situation and did his best to help us have a good time include taking us for falafel and coffee, which was very enjoyable. That is why I rated the tour 2 stars rather than 1. Otherwise, for bird watching we could have had the same experience for much cheaper taking an Uber or hiring a driver to drive us along the lake shore of Fayoum, as we had to pick the stops and find all the birds ourselves using out own abilities and research. This was a huge disappointment and the biggest waste of money on our entire trip
