“A must-do trip for extraordinary adventure - it is NOT Egypt that everyone expects! Owing to change in circumstance, I was unable to take a two-day tour, and instead opted for a one-day tour. Communication with Amir was simply excellent, and arranging for pick up in Nasser City was straightforward. The one day was a long day - in total collected at 0600 and returned at 0100. I really wished I had been able to stretch the time and made it a two-day trip, but there we are. As for the trip - in summary: Journey out/back - safe driver on desert roads; never felt anxious. Meals provided - basic and nutritious; but, not the highest standard of Egyptian cuisine. Black Desert - extraordinary, but do your own research prior to getting there. White Desert - again an incredible landscape, and the 4x4 Safari through it was a memory of adventure. WAS IT VALUE FOR MONEY - yes! WOULD I GO AGAIN - absolutely, I will. Next time, I will aim to camp over on the 2 Day Trip” - Reviewed on 2024-04-29
