Amazing experience beautiful landscapes - Great organisation, enough time for pictures and driver is adapting tour and stops duration based on clients without pressuring or hurrying us up at any time. Good food, basically worry free experience, only watch and enjoy. We sleept outside without tent (April) on provided matress, sleeping bag and blanket and we were warm enough. Tents were also available for people who wanted a bit more privacy.

white desert - I had never seen a landscape like the one in the white desert before, it's very impressing. Also the starry firmament is the most amazing I have ever seen. The group I was with was very kind and the bedouin guides good cooks and helpful. Hotspringswater is a very beautiful place. Just make sure that when they pick you up in the morning you jump into the right car, because there was a misunderstanding and I jumped in the wrong car and ended up in the airport (also because I travel without wifi), but we could find the right car later so it was ok.

Unbelievable Experience!! - Everything was perfect! The drive to the desert, the food, the UNFORGETABLE SCENERY!! I've never seen anything like it. Hiking and sandboarding were exceptionally great! And sleeping out under the stars, OMG! Constellations, the Milky Way, and a few shooting stars. But the very best part of the journey was our guide, Hasim. Friendly, helpful, VERY knowledgeable, and a great cook. And an amazing driver!

Authentic experience in the dessert - Very nice alternative experience to do in Egypt. Well organised with skilled guides. Our Guide ( Sahead) was very experienced and made us feel safe throughout the trip. He was very competent with the tend, the jeep driving, the cooking, everything !! and we sincerely thank him for taking such good care of us. Amazing sceneries we did not know existed, a lot of fun in the jeep been driven around the sand cliffs, privacy in the night camp area ( each Jeep camped in a distance from the other, and you thought you were alone in the dessert) a lot of food for dinner and breakfast and plenty of cold water thoughout the tour. I am very grad we did this and will always remember it

Recommended activity! - The activity was well organized, the scenery is beautiful, the guides animated the evening around the fire, the dinner was excellent. You can still expect to make a lot of road in 2 days since the desert is far away. The oases are disappointing, however, it is not a body of water, but rather a container with water from the oasis in which to swim. I still recommend doing the activity only to meet one night in the desert.

Adventure at 5am from Cairo - The journey from Cairo to the main camp takes 5h to 5h30 and is by van. The van is air conditioned but basic and for the duration of the trip is not comfortable, the air conditioning weak and the backrests somewhat worn. From the camp, the journey to desert black, crystal and white is done in 4x4. Duration around 2-3h including stops. The driver of the 4x4 who served as our guide, chef at night and host for our night in the desert is impressive. Ours was Ashraf. It is for him that I put a mark of 4 for this activity. Thank you Ashraf. The desert itself is fantastic. The hot spring was not worth it.
