Thank you to our guide Megoo for this wonderful trip to Fayoum. It was an experience everyone should have, beautiful landscapes, the oasis, the boat ride on the lake, and the pottery workshop were all truly lovely.

This is an experience that you will remember always. I was blessed to have Megoo as my guide. He is the best tour guide I have ever had. His honesty and knowledge of his field made conversation with him friendly and thrilling. I thought it was a true privilege to get to experience this part of Egypt and I will always be grateful to Megoo for his tireless enthusiasm, kindness and consideration.

Wadi El Rayan is gorgeous! This will be the end of my positivity for this review. My driver and guide were both named Tony (what a coincidence!). Tony #1 (the driver) was fine. Tony #2 (the guide) was off-putting and came off as inexperienced and unprepared at best. The itinerary: We stopped at Lake Qaroun, hiked up Jabal El Medawara, stopped at the waterfall, did some sand boarding, and watched a pottery demonstration in Tunis. The "felucca ride" is actually a row boat, and there is no stop at Madi. I was very uncomfortable with Tony #2 in the mountains because he was unusually forceful with
