Everything was excellent! Our guide, Ahmed, was extremely professional and punctual. He listened to our wishes, gave us time whenever we needed, and shared great insights, he is very knowledgeable about Egypt’s culture and traditions. Our driver, Mustafa, was also excellent and drove us through the desert sites safely. We visited all the sites as described in the program. The meal was traditional and very tasty, served in a beautiful place with lovely surroundings. Highly recommended!

Guides were professional in communicating about pick-up times, trip itinerary, and any rest stops along the route. The company and guides were friendly and helpful. They gave me just the right amount of time at each stop. I recommend everyone to sand board the dunes near magic lake. Make sure you take a few snacks just in case you get hungry during the day.

We were absolutely amazed by the beautiful landscape! Our tour guide and driver were both very friendly. They stopped several times on the way when we needed something and really tried to give us a good experience. Our tour guide told us many interesting historic facts and also information about the area. He spoke English, German besides Arabic. Impressive! Besides the landscape we had an amazing lunch and were happy to enjoy some of the local food! We had a great time and would definitely recommend this! It gives a great perspective on the area around Cairo. Wir waren total begeistert von der
