Amazing journey out to Wadi Al-Hitan (Valley of Whales) and Wadi El Rayan. Sayed Mohy Eldin was an excellent guide through this beautiful landscape! Wadi Al-Hitan showcases in situ early whale fossils out in the beautiful desert landscape along with a great museum on whale evolution and climate change that is well worth visiting! Lunch was delicious. Many thanks to Sayed for a wonderful day!
The tour itself was great, totally worth the visit and going off road was a treat. However the tour guide was inexperienced and was visiting the place for the first time so not very informative. We had to learn about the location through google. The tour company can do better that this.
It has been spectacular, both the driver and the guide have been super attentive in everything, I give them a 10. Very rolled up. The riskiest Jeep, the very good food, the snowboarding on the sand very funny and the spectacular places visited. Also the guide, a very young boy, did it in Spanish even hiring him in English. Great day.
Certainement une des excursions les meilleures que nous ayons pu faire, Sherif a été un excellent guide, très attentionné. Et les 2 chauffeurs ont été très sympathiques, avec toutefois une mention spéciale à notre super conducteur de 4x4 ( j'ai oublié son nom, j'en suis désolée...) qui nous a permis d'avoir des sensations géniales dans les dunes du désert. Les explications au musée permettent de mieux comprendre la présence des fossiles de baleines, et les squelettes retrouvés sont extrêmement bien conservés, dans un paysage à couper le souffle. Une expérience unique et magnifique à faire !
