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 .

An oasis of beautiful emotions - Special thanks to Emad, Tomas and the sweet Yoma for the attention and great availability in sewing the trip for my group. The historical part was followed by specialized guides speaking Italian, who with great passion take us back in time. Colors and scents come from the Nubian village, unforgettable sunsets while sailing in feluca, tender meetings with the population that accompany us with greetings and thousands of smiles. The Desert... White Desert, what beauty, Especially because it puts you in a position to listen to your emotions and it satisfies you so much to perceive the emotions, those beautiful emotions of your fellow travelers. When you see beauty outside you are in the best phase of your Life ❤️

4 fabulous days that were unforgettable! - What can I say, it was just bombastic. 4 days camping trip, through the desert we will never forget. Absolutely well organized with pickup in Cairo. Our guide went to such incredible lengths. Every night he cooked fresh, which really surprised us and it was so incredibly delicious. From White Desert, Black Desert, Djara Cave, Crystal Mountains, we didn't realize before how incredibly diverse this desert is. Honestly guys, we can only recommend it! Incredible silence in a fabulous starry sky in the middle of a gigantic dune landscape. Great days, great experience, with Badarmany a great guide and great cook who has become a friend! Thank you Emad for organizing! 100% recommendation! 😁

Amazing bucket list experience - Emad is an amazing desert tour operator. He is well skilled in off-roading, knows the area well with tons of experience, and is an excellent chef. He made a nice tour for me in W Desert. The highlight of the tour for me was stargazing at night, it was a once in a lifetime experience. It's a beautiful area to explore. Thanks Emad and Mohammed!

Unforgettable days - The days spent were unforgettable. The tour was personalized and made unique for us, following our wishes and interests. The tour started in Cairo, we discovered and got to know every oasis of the Egyptian desert together with exceptional tourist guides, up to the White Desert, and going even further south. I recommend everyone to visit the White Desert and sleep in a tent, a wonderful and unique experience. The characteristics of Egypt Safari Tours are: kindness, transparency, availability, hospitality and the serenity of having lived a unique experience without worries. They thought of everything: from arriving at the airport to returning to the airport, without having any worries whatsoever. I had a good time, I felt pampered. A tour with them is highly recommended GOOD AND COMPETENT
