Our tour guide and driver Hisham is a very patient and experienced person. His explanation is very good. It's a happy day for us.

Unclear from the description how much driving is involved on this tour. About 3 hours by normal car, then 1 hour by 4Runner on the dunes each way. So much that you only have about 45 min in the museum area and about 15 at the waterfall. Also we booked an English tour and the guide hardly spoke any English.

This full day Fayuom Oasis tour with visit to Valley of Whales plus other fun adventures was excellent. Our guide Mohammed Faiz was excellent. Highly recommend this tour.

The tour was great, mostly thanks to our guide Ahmed. He explained the whole tour to us, guided us the whole day, made sure we had fun. If you want to enjoy the whale valley fully, you will need more time. Our tour finished later than planed, so take this into account. Or skip the waterfalls, those are really nothing special.
