Pleasent day. Our guide Yusuf was knowledgeable and polite. Stunning things to see. Valley of Whales is a must. Waterfalls were beautiful. 😊

Abbiamo fatto una gita di un giorno a El Fayoum partendo da Giza. Il viaggio in auto è stato piuttosto lungo, circa 2 ore, ma una volta arrivati ne è valsa assolutamente la pena per i luoghi visitati e per l’esperienza nel deserto. La guida era gentile, anche se non parlava benissimo italiano, quindi le spiegazioni sono state abbastanza semplici. La parte migliore della giornata è stata senza dubbio il tour in jeep nel deserto e il sandboarding: davvero divertentissimo! Un grande merito va all’autista della jeep, che è stato bravissimo, simpatico e ha contribuito a rendere la giornata speciale

Fahd is a very friendly and funny guide, speaks excellent English and manages to get coffee for everyone even in the middle of the desert. Highly recommended.

Tour molto interessante, vario, stimolante. Kiro è stato una guida impeccabile, competente, con un sicuro possesso dell'italiano, amichevole e di grande disponibilità. Ottima accoglienza al campo. Qualche riserva sulla guida un po' spaccona del driver dal Cairo alla riserva; il tour in jeep nel deserto, invece, è stato divertente. Lo rifarei, assolutamente.

Die Reise in den Wadi El-Rayan und Wadi Hitan Nationalpark lohnt sich auf Fall. Haisam war ein toller Führer, mit viel Charme und Humor. Führung war auf Englisch, obwohl auf Deutsch gebucht. Für uns aber kein Problem. Baden im Magic Lake ist möglich, Anfang April vielleicht etwas kalt. Die Walsaurierskelette waren interessant. Wer spontan buchen kann, schaut auf die Wettervorhersage. Die war bei uns zwei Tage im Voraus präzise auf wolkig/trüb und so war es auch. Sicht war morgens teilweise nur 500m, nachher wurde es glücklicherweise besser. bei klarer Sicht wär es natürlich schöner gewesen. We
