If you have nothing else better to do or are all “Ancient Egypt”-out, try this change of pace, however do it with a different tour company. Our tour guide was not knowledgeable about the activities nor the area. He was friendly enough to, but he got tired of talking after about 1/2 hour into the tour.

Honestly, this trip (4x4 Safari, Magic Lake, etc.) was incredible, and our guide, Ryan, is the reason it was so amazing. ​Ryan brought all the energy and humor. He totally made the car ride with super music during the safari and drive—it was never a dull moment! The 4x4 drivers were professional, so I felt safe but still got that massive adrenalin rush. ​The whole agency was great; everything was organized perfectly. They even arranged a special pickup for me outside Old Cairo for an extra cost, which was super helpful. ​The Only Bummer ​The only thing I'd change is the camel ride. I felt real

We had visited Old Cairo and appreciated its beautiful and rich culture through museums, citadel, mosques and the Coptic neighborhood, and wanted to venture outside to appreciate nature and wildlife and the vast horizon outside of Cairo. We were met by our wonderful and energetic guide, Ryan who brought us to Wadi El Rayan National Park where our adventure started. From sand boarding, camel riding, swimming in the magical Magic Lake, the whole day was absolutely magical. Lunch was prepared deliciously by the local community. This is a must do when you come visit Egypt! My 80 year old parents a
