A memorable experience in Bahariya - I had a pleasant and memorable experience of visiting Bahariya oasis.
Initially travelling from India and intending to stay in a isolated desert with my wife and kid was a reason of doubt in my mind. It was just a coincidence that I met Mr. MOHAMMAD on Airbnb who smoothened my doubts and conducted the trip. No one will believe that he did it without any advance just as a blind faith on a foreign tourist, and I paid him the complete amount once I reached at the airport. This speaks volume about a person and his character in a world where every service and emotion has been monetised.
We started from Cairo and reached Bawiti. Here we changed the vehicle to a 4x4 land cruiser, which was driven by Fafi. The journey took us to black desert, the oasis the Crystal Mountain and FiNaLlY to white desert. Here food was served after settling the Camp.
It was indeed a wonderful experience, and I recommend Mr. Md to other kids who value character, trust, and intimate knowledge of the area.

12/10 Experience! - I booked this trip because I wanted to take a day trip in the Sahara Desert. Both Mohamed Kansan and Saied were amazing in guiding our tour! Not only were we able to get great pictures, but they also made sure to include as many experiences as they could in this short amount of time. On top of this, the feast at the end was AMAZING! I would definitely recommend this to others who are looking for a great desert tour!

Amazing Fayoum Experience - We had a wonderful day with our guide. From the first moment he was incredibly warm, friendly, and professional.
We were traveling with our son, and his approach to him was amazing. He made him feel very comfortable and included throughout the whole trip.
The jeep safari was one of the highlights of our day – we had so much fun! He also took fantastic photos of us, almost like a professional photographer, and helped us pose for beautiful pictures.
Throughout the entire day he shared interesting information, answered all our questions, and made us feel very welcome.
It was truly a perfect day. Highly recommended!
