This tour gave me a much-needed break from the busy city life. The White Desert's silence was a powerful reminder of nature's beauty. Our guide took us to a stunning lookout point where the rocks looked like they had been sculpted by the hands of time. Watching the sunset in this otherworldly place was a spiritual moment. Big thanks to the team for their excellent service and attention to detail. It made the experience unforgettable.

Spending a night in the White Desert felt like stepping into another world. I had imagined it as a simple desert trip, but it turned into a magical adventure. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories about the formations that look like giant mushrooms and abstract sculptures. Around the campfire, we shared laughs with our friends while the sky lit up with countless stars – a moment I’ll never forget. The 4X4 ride through the Black Desert was thrilling, and the camp setup was surprisingly comfortable. A huge thanks to the team for their professional and friendly servi

Expérience inoubliable dans le désert blanc avec Tamer, probablement l'un des meilleurs guides de la région. Nous avons découvert des paysages uniques au monde. Et avons mangé comme des roi. Tamer est un cuisinier hors pair ! Un immense merci pour cette nuit magique, paisible et confortable au milieu des formations rocheuses, dans un silence absolu. A faire et refaire !

It was a great experience! we had a lots of fun with the help of Mr. Tamer & his crew. Mr. Tamer is a local from the village nearby Bahariya, not surprise that he knows everything about the desert. if you are looking for a tour to the black & white desert, he is the perfect guy to talk with:-)

Our day began promptly at 7am with a friendly driver picking us up. We had a four-hour drive to Tamer's house, where we were warmly welcomed by Tamer and his family. They prepared a delicious lunch for us. Tamer then took us on a captivating journey to various natural wonders, including the Black Desert, Crystal Cave, and unique rock formations like the Mushroom and Chicken, then we arrived in the White Desert National Park. Tamer skillfully set up a campsite for us and treated us to a delicious dinner under the stars. After the dinner, we shared delightful moments over Bedouin tea, which I mu
