A fun day out!! - I recently went on this desert safari trip with my friend. Hassan was super friendly and helpful. His English is exceptional! We had so much fun driving along the sand dunes, going on the camel rides and having a beautiful local dinner at sunset in the desert. I recommend trying their Hibiscus tea. We are two young women travellers and Hassan and Ahmed (the driver) made us feel very comfortable and safe. The only thing I would say is I wish we were given more information at each point. But we did have a very enjoyable fun day out and I recommend to anyone who is thinking of going.

Best time - This tour is exceptional! It offers a unique travel experience and it created a wonderful, memorable day during my trip to Egypt. The guide, Hassan, made this tour enjoyable and he also extended his expertise to other aspects of our stay in Cairo, which was extremely helpful. He went above and beyond making sure we were well taken care of and we appreciate all that he has done for us. His English is nearly perfect and he answered all of our questions with ease. I would absolutely recommend him and this tour to anyone as it exceeded my expectations. -Kendall

Egypt Desert Adventure - The desert adventure tour was action-packed and high quality from start to finish. Hassan and his team went above and beyond to personalize the trip and make it special. They picked us up at our hotel and offered drinks and refreshments to make the drive down to the national park as comfortable as possible. The trip itself was fantastic, covering trips across the gorgeous Sahara desert, huge lakes and waterfalls, a camel ride, and some fast-paced and exciting off-road driving over huge sand dunes. The driving stunts were exciting and unforgettable! We then went sandboarding which was a huge amount of fun and it was surprisingly easy to learn the basics as a beginner and get some good runs in. Our entire group enjoyed the experience and Hassan was a great instructor. We ended the day with a delicious meal at a Bedouin encampment which allowed us to experience nomadic desert culture and get to imagine life in the Sahara. Hassan taught us a lot about the region, its history and its agricultural identity. Afterwards they dropped us at our hotel and even offered to take us to our planned restaurant for the evening. This was a first class trip I would recommend to anyone visiting Egypt.

Very fun experience! - Had a great time on this excursion! Definitely a lot different from the regular touristy things you would do in Egypt. Went to the national park and saw the only waterfalls in Egypt. Got to do a camel ride and then sandboarding! Sandboarding was such a unique experience that I never thought I’d do. Was completely safe and was tons of fun. Would highly recommend.

Adventure and disconnection through the desert - We had an amazing day. We were two young couples looking to explore a different face of Egypt, away from the typical monuments, and it was quite a success. The day was full of adventures: we started with a relaxing boat ride, followed by an exciting camel ride. Then, we launched into a 4x4 tour of the desert, a mind-blowing experience! We even made a stop for sandboarding, which ensured a lot of laughter. After so much activity, we enjoyed a delicious lunch of grilled chicken with rice and potatoes, and to close the day with a golden clasp, we rode the quad pyramids. I especially want to thank Shaima for her attention, kindness and professionalism throughout the experience. If we had the opportunity to return, we would not hesitate to repeat it, although if it does not happen, we will definitely recommend it to all our friends.
