An unforgettable memory - One of the best experiences I have ever had. The tour was very enjoyable, nice company and a wonderful guide. At the beginning I was a bit relentless to go, due to the desert climate, but since this trip was a gift for my girlfriend for her birth decided to do it. The guide, Ahmed, brought us around the black and withe desert giving us lessons about the history and the Bedouin colture. Everything was accompanied by the wonderful view of the desert and the oasis of Bahariya. Also we went with another guide, Ahmed brother who also made our trip more fun. Another thing that I want to say is, go with the Musicians of the Desert (Ahmed and his brother), if you go with them you will have the wonderful experience of listening some Bedouin music sang by them (that’s why that name).
Also I don’t have words to describe the feeling of hearing the blowing of the wind in the middle of the desert during the early morning.

Unique experience - Unique experience in a magnificent setting.
Feeling like you're outside of time and on the moon.
A lot of driving, but the trip is worth it.
At each stop the landscapes follow one another and are not alike.
Thanks to Ashraf for his support which made this experience even more magical

Very Good - This is very good. From the Beginning Amal muhammed coordinated the trip before I start my journey from India. All guidance is given, picked up at right time, food is good, sleeping arrangements in desert is good.
While going they stopped at a place where there is just a water tank (asked if anyone wants to swim), this I thought is a waste of time, rest all places and spots they showed are amazing. Truly value for money.

2 very successful days - Fantastic trip to the White Desert with our guide Ahmed.
Great! Ahmed accompanied us for 1 1/2 days with lots of joy and singing, and played the flute around the campfire in the evening.
Everything went as planned, from the pick-up in Cairo to the hotel in Giza.
The food was always delicious - THANK YOU for the wonderful experience

Magic ! A memory engraved for life - It was a great stay with Mustafa and Mahmut. They were great guides, very attentive and know the desert like the back of their hand.
In addition to being good cooks, they deliver music!
Thank you also for these little Arabic vocabulary lessons.
You will have a great time with them, don’t miss a beat!
