Great experience! - Really unique and beautiful experience!!! We organized the tour with egypt safaritours and everything was perfect! From Baharia we changed cars getting into a jeep with our super driver Mahmood who knew the desert perfectly and from there it was all a crescendo of shows and emotions... black desert, white desert, tented camp, snowboarding on the dune, stars, fire, colors... difficult to explain in words, everything like magic! Personally one of the most beautiful deserts I have ever seen. I recommend the tour with egypt_safaritour

An unforgettable experience between Oasis, Deserts and Egyptian Antiquities - We have just concluded a 6-day private tour of Egypt with Egypt Safari Tours by Emad Mebad and we can say without hesitation that it was an extraordinary and unforgettable experience. The perfectly organized itinerary took us between Alexandria, Fayyum, Siwa Oasis, Bahariya Oasis, Black Desert and White Desert, offering an ideal balance between culture, nature, adventure and relaxation. The value for money was simply excellent, well beyond expectations. A special thanks goes to Yoma, always very prepared, helpful and very quick in responding to all our requests, before and during the trip. An impeccable organization that made us feel followed and calm at all times. The guides, extremely competent, spoke English and Italian with great professionalism, making the visits clear, interesting and never boring. The drivers, the real protagonists of the trip, were superb: always attentive, kind and ready to meet every need. Mohamed and Mahmoud were simply super top, both for the desert driving and for the humanity and care shown every day. The food, always cared for and of excellent quality, has further enriched the experience, as well as the places visited and the experiences lived, which will remain forever in our memories. Unforgettable sunset in the White Desert, a breathtaking natural spectacle, and the incredible turquoise colors of the salt lakes of the Siwa Oasis, something truly unique. A beautiful and unexpected surprise were also the little-known but extremely fascinating Egyptian tombs of Bannentiu. In summary: highly recommended tour from every point of view. Professionalism, passion, customer care and love for Egypt are perceived in every detail. Many thanks to Emad, Yoma, the guides and the amazing drivers for making this trip so special.

An adventure! - WONDERFUL desert, the funniest thing the snowbord on the dunes and the reckless and fantastic driving of the Bedouin guy, who cooked everything on the spot pulling out of the trunk of the 4x4 an entire camp!

To live - It is an experience that words can tell little and explain .. is to be lived... we had a pleasant Bedouin guide, who prepared for us the camp to live a night under the stars with a very accurate dinner. We recommend doing this experience, the night in December is a bit cold, but you are fine. For those who have the chance it would certainly be better to live this experience in spring.

Everything organized at best in this beautiful place - White desert and black desert, two fascinating places. The tour was perfectly organized by Egypt safari tour. Emad and Tomas with their collaborators were attentive, considerate beyond all expectations. Compared to other deserts, already visited in the world, the latter maintain a charm and an authentic appearance. Very nice night spent in a tent under the stars. We really enjoyed the black and white desert and would also recommend Emad Mebad and the Egypt safari tour.

Wild Desert ,magic Egypt - Something different compare to the Classic tour,the experience was great , starting from the pick up with our driver Ahmed in a comfortable car .the journey to Baharya oasis is around 3 h and half from Cairo city ;once there there is a basic and simple hotel where we get lunch and received a room (cleaning could be better to be honest) but staff is very nice. From there as we choose 2 nights we visited the palm farm and places around with a nice stop to see the sunset. The day after we started our trip to desert with jeep 4x 4(old style but traditional) with our driver/ guide Mahmoud.the landscape ,colours and places are amazing starting with the black desert, crystal mountain, oasis and white desert...it's pure nature ,silence and peaceful sites. The camping was absolutely lovely ,our driver cooked for us every day and prepare the bed under the stars 🤩..we saw the fox of the desert that visited us and joined the dinner with us. There is no bath or toilet ,so be ready to be wild 😜..it's part of the experience. Mint tea cannot miss at all every night in front of a fire. internet connection is not stabil ,most of the time is not working ...it's perfect to disconnect and discover the magic of the desert. Everything was amazing ,I will suggest to stop and have lunch by a local Bedouin family instead of the "restore area"which was poor and bit dirty . On the way back to Baharya we really appreciate to have a room to take a rest and a shower and even if we didn't have lunch included,they offered us a meal before taking the car back to Cairo. Thanks to the staff that organized for us the trip ( lovely Yoma) ,thanks to be authentic and offer the opportunity to be part of the Egyptian culture .
