The desert itself and the Beduin guide is definitely 5 stars! I highly recommend going there. But, the organization of the tour was not great at all. Besides, to my opinion it is overpriced. To start with: they say "it is a shared tour" and no one tells you that it does not mean that you will be just a part of a group, it means that you will be traveling to Baharea on a public bus. The way to the desert was fine though (a man picked me up from my hotel, bought me a ticket and another one met me at the station).

It took us with great surprises to seeing many type of deserts .. The guide ( ‘better’ means full moon in Egyptian) is very efficient and knowledge, we had a great dinner and tea prepared by him.
Being in the desert and camping was fantastic. 5 Stars - actually an amazing sky full of stars. However I can only rate this operator as 3 Stars because of the lousy communication and transportation. The promo says pick up at 7 AM. The driver insisted on 6 AM. Why? So we could sit crammed in a van and wait for several hours before even leaving Cairo. This is not a van used just for those on the camping trip. It is a shuttle used by locals. So we the tourists are first on and last off.
