The destinations are worth going to, and there's no tour online cheaper than this one to get you there. But you should know that's for a reason, and the reason is that organization is essentially nonexistent. Here are the results: - They coordinated my pickup minutes in advance, early in the morning, after leaving me on read the night before. It ended up working fine, but caused a lot of stress. - The drive was over 2 hours longer than they said, in part because the driver took a 30 minute smoke break - They didn't provide a list of recommended supplies or explain what they already had so peop

Excellent service, everything was on spot. Meals were plentyful and the guides made sure to show you around and give you time for exploring the area and taking pictures. You should realize however that all these 1-night trips are in effect car trips and you spend 8 hours/day or more in a car. So if you want to explore the desert on foot / camel you better book 2 nights right away

The trip was exciting and the staff handling desert trip was very good and caring. We enjoyed the entire trip except the driver picking up and dropping off hotel. He was busy talking non-stop on the phone over hours during the round trip between the hotel and desert connection point. Finally he dropped somewhere and said only one minute walk to hotel. We have no idea where we were. After opening the google map, it was 10 minutes walking with baggage’s.

It was an amazing experience! I highly recommend it. We enjoyed all the activities. The picked us up and drove us back to the hotel in a comfortable air-conditioned van. Halfway to the desert we were picked up by 4wheel drive cars and we had a safari ride to the desert. We saw different amazing sand/rock formations where we were given time to take photos. They took us sand boarding, to the crystal mountain, oasis where you can take a quick swim, lunch at a local restaurant and finally to the camp site where we witnessed the breathtaking sunset! We slept in assigned tents and they provided slee

This was a wonderful experience, completely different from being in Cairo. Saw the Black Desert, Crystal Mountain, and White Desert - all of which were spectacular. Ate a traditional Bedouin dinner under the stars. We even had a chance to try sand boarding!
