Great time - Highly Recommend - This was the best experience we had during our time in Egypt. Ahmed did a phenomenal job leading everything. He was clear on what was needed, provided recommendations, etc. beforehand. He was punctual. Finally, my wife and I had an absolute grand time on the tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone, and if you can get Ahmed as a tour guide, you won’t be disappointed.

Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience - Ryan gave us the most incredible tour of Egypt, filled with unforgettable and fun experiences. Thanks to him, we all fell in love with the country. If you have the chance to request a guide, make it Ryan without hesitation. He has a way of making you feel completely at home and welcomed throughout the entire day. His warmth and hospitality are truly unmatched. Our day began with a scenic car ride, complete with snack and water stops along the way. We then met up with our 4x4 vehicles and kicked off an exhilarating off-roading adventure that led to sand surfing. Afterward, we had the option of riding camels or horses. Since we’d already done a camel ride earlier in the trip, we chose the horses, and it was so much fun making our way toward the water.Ryan’s deep knowledge and genuine hospitality elevated the entire experience. We explored beautiful waterfalls, relaxed by the stunning Magic Lake, and soaked in the breathtaking desert scenery while continuing our off-road journey. Later, we were treated to a delicious and satisfying lunch. Every part of this tour was thoughtful and memorable. We felt cared for, appreciated, and truly like part of a family. To everyone that made this trip possible from the drivers, to the lunch, and Ryan thank you for a memory that will last a lifetime. This was an experience that absolutely shouldn’t be missed.

Highly recommend this activity - The views were amazing, safari with the jeeps was incredible. Food was also amazing (not even in good restaurants in Cairo we enjoyed a meal so good). All of this wouldn't have been possible without our guide Ryan that assisted us, planned everything to the detail and was one of the most kind and helpful person we met in Egypt

Highly recommend if you need a break from seeing temples - My husband and teen sons had a great time on this trip. The guide, Mohammed, was spirited, playful, and really made sure they had a lot of fun. The kids especially enjoyed the crazy dune driving, sandboarding, and choosing between a rowboat on the lake (which Mohammed made sure to rock crazily for them), horse riding or camel riding. The Bedouin lunch was also delicious and the desert was beautiful.
