It's a great tour. - I'm from Japan. Due to the itinerary, we decided to take a day tour instead of camping overnight. It's a bit hard in the summer with strong sunshine and a return to Cairo after 10 o'clock at night, but the white and black deserts and the scenery to see are amazing and definitely worth a visit. The response from the tour companies was also very good.

The best day tour in Egypt so far - Our day tour to the Black and White Deserts was simply amazing and our best trip so far in Egypt. The landscapes we saw left us speechless and willing to camp for several days in the desert to have a more extensive experience. The lovely day we had was only possible because of the nice people from Sun Pyramids we interacted with to organize the tour. Ahmed Atef helped us put together the tour in the smoothest way possible. He has been super fast in replying since the first moment I reached out to him and remained always available to respond with kindness to the several questions I had. He checked on how our day was going during the tour and that was beautiful. Our guide Magdy was extremely nice and polite. He picked up perfectly on time and made us feel comfortable the whole time. He gave us the time we needed to see everything and took pictures of us. He was the best touring company we had so far. Hasan, our driver towards and back from the desert made us feel safe on the street when going and coming back and let us have a day tour that respected the times we were said it would last. Hameda, our driver into the desert made us experience the beauty of those landscapes in a special way, and gave us a lovely music atmosphere the whole time. The food prepared by the Beduine House family in the Oasis of Bahariya was rich and delicious. Thank you guys for your availability, politeness, kindness and most importantly for taking care of us in such a perfect way. You really made us have a unique experience and we are so glad for this. It felt like a day trip with friends although we had never met any of you before. We have a wonderful memory of this day and you are the ones that made it possible. Thank you so so so much. We are planning to come to Egypt again and we will definitely book with Sun Pyramids again :)

Top experience - Very nice experience in the desert. The road is long, about 4h on the first day and 5h back the second but it is really worth it. The white sand desert is breathtaking and the night in the desert is an unforgettable experience. Only downside, we do not see the beautiful salt lake which is the oasis

Stunning Black and White deserts - The black and white deserts were incredible places to visit and appreciate the natural beauty of the landscape and landforms. Our guide, Mido, was super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. He even took pictures for us to capture the moment with great poses!

tour you can't miss - If you come to Egypt, you can't leave without taking this tour. It's incredible to sleep in the desert, feel the silence, see the stars... it's all incredible. As for the organization, I can't fault it at all; everything was perfect. Both the Bedouin and the guide made us feel like family, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Despite the long journey from Cairo, it is well worth the trip.

The Desert is a Must! - I wish I could have stayed another night! The desert, the star gazing, food, and the tour guide made this trip amazing. Don't come to Egypt to see the pyramids; try to see more, and I would suggest this tour.

A day of 10 with Omar Saleh - Long journey to arrive but fully recommended, and if it is with the company of Omar Saleh even better. He was a very good guide, and even better photographer, worrying about everything we needed or wanted. The tour included breakfast and lunch. Special mention also to the desert driver.
