10000% recommend - Wow this tour was the best i've had in my life. I have never experienved anything so interesting and wonderful. It starts with you getting picked up straight at your hotel, the driver was lovely and funny. You are then taken to a meeting point at the start of the Sahara trail and here Mustafa joins you. What a brilliant tour guide he is. Mustafa speaks multiple languages and he is a Geologist and Egyptologist and you can hear and see his passion in the fossil valley and his knowledge on them is unmatched. Amd even though he does this your everyday, for man years, he has true excitement when telling you the information and history. The fossils are from 140 million years ago from when Egypt was under the water and wow it is beautiful and amazing to see! You get to watch the sunset and also are cooked the BEST meal of my life. Traditional Egyptian food, under the stars, freshly made by chefs in the Sahara!!! I honestly think everyone needs to experience this trip with Mustafa as it really is the best thing i have ever done. Highly recommend.

incredible experience - Highly recommend this trip. Mustafa, the guide, is an Egyptologist and Geologist that speaks many languages and has a vast knowledge of Egypt and the Sahara. The tour takes you from your Hurghada hotel to 40km into the desert, starting at a real Bedouin village. There, you are given lots of tea and fresh fruit, amazing hospitality and stories from the locals and Mustafa, super interesting. The village was a real experience, not one that has been commercialised with sellers and tourist traps - it was proper Bedouin and the people were wonderful. After this, you ride further into the Sahara until you come to a valley full of beautiful fossilised shells and corals that have been there for around 140 million years, when Egypt was under the water! it doesn't stop there, you are then taken to a very cool cave that is natural in the surrounding hills, with a stunning view at the top. Then they take you up to the top to watch the sunset and relax. The driver is so impressive in navigating you safely around this terrain. Then lastly you have a candlelit dinner in the valley with the best food I've ever tasted, freshly made from a chef IN THE DESERT! So cool and lovely. The hospitality really is incredible and Mustafa and the drivers and the Bedouins are fantastic people. i couldn't recommend anything more than I recommend this trip. Easily 5 stars.

Great discovery, we recommend 200%. - Very nice discovery of the canyon, fossils. Discovery also of the Bedouin village, coffee and tea, very welcome. We were also able to witness the making of bread. Then cross and climb the canyon on foot to reach the summit and see the sunset.... Beautiful. Coming down in vehicle our romantic dinner by candlelight was waiting for us. Super hearty meal and as it was our wedding anniversary a cake was presented to finish this delicious meal. Stargazing and stargazing. Accompanies very friendly and very welcoming.

Sky full of stars - For those who love stargazing, highly recommended! Wonderful to be able to experience this. Super for the kids, even the galaxy was visible. The food was also super cared for, tasty and everything yet hygienic for being in the middle of the desert. Transport with 3 luxury jeeps with air conditioning. Really down to the last detail. Already 3rd time with Moustafa, and better every time!

Spirit of the Desert - There were nine of us from our hotel and booked this trip. We didn't know each other. We were picked up in a small bus and given water. On the route we then met our drivers (three people per car 4x4) and drove to Bedouins. There we were provided with tea and given a Bedouin headscarf. What was kind of funny was how Moustafa tied it to us. then we went to Wadi Belli. Mustapha told us an incredible amount about the Bedouin culture and also about Egypt in general. We were also given excellent information about the desert. Since it was Ramadan at the time, none of our drivers were eating, drinking or smoking. We then experienced a wonderful sunset and were then provided with fresh fruit and drinks. Our drivers were now also allowed to eat and drink. There were dates to break the fast. Afterwards we went back to the Bedouin site, where a set table with freshly grilled meat and salad awaited us. It was a great trip!! Thanks to Mustafa :-), who speaks German very well.
