The tourguide, Ramy Afifi, gave us a lot of information about the place. He also took some very beautiful professional pictures of us. The sandsurfing, camelride and the bbq were so much fun. You really get your money's worth, we had an amazing day. 10/10 recommend.jackmurphype

Let’s be honest, the itinerary for this trip is absolutely incredible. It’s well-paced, balanced, and outrageously fun. But that’s by design. Anyone could lead this trip and it be great.

Let’s be honest, the itinerary for this trip is absolutely incredible. It’s well-paced, balanced, and outrageously fun. But that’s by design. Anyone could lead this trip and it be great. The thing that made it awesome was my guide Rayn. He was so personable, quick-witted, polite, and appreciative. He as a person really accentuated this trip and took it to the next level. I had more fun doing this than going around the great Pyramids. The sand surfing was challenging, the swim in the Magic Lake refreshing, and every other little piece fell perfectly into place. If you’re looking for a little adventure off the beaten path in the middle of the desert, this trip is for you. Hopefully you wind up with Rayn as your guide to make it even better.Mazzafe

I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the desert and get out of the city for the day!872mathewt
