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.

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.
