Unfortunately the driver had an accident (!) on his way to pick me up at 7am. The company offered to reschedule me for another day but I was flying out so couldn’t. Tasneem organized another driver at short notice. By the time he arrived it was 10.30 and I was over three and a half hours late for the tour. But it all got sorted and Mustapha the Bedouin guide reorganized the trip so I could see everything and stay longer the second day. Everything was excellent, the desert area is stunning and the camp ( complete with desert fox , Mustapha’s flute drum and singing and superb local food) was perfect.

The trip was well organized, with transfers to and from Cairo. However, the fun starts when you meet the family of bedouins that will serve as your hosts. We were paired with one of the adult son’s named Ahmad who served as our 4x4 driver, tour guide, tasty chef, and lots more. We shared the camp with another family a that was guided by Ahmad’s brother Mustafa. Together, they made the camp amazing. Notice that I haven’t mentioned anything about the natural scenery yet? It’s because our hosts were that good. The various parts of the desert were amazing. After dinner, we walked over to a adjacent camp and the various guides banded together to put on a fun musical show. Highly recommend this trip. Yala shabaab!

I would break our experience down into two parts. Everything about the Bahariya Oasis and the desert experience that was conducted by the Bedouin family was incredible. Great guide, great food, really awesome service, i cannot praise the White desert camping experience highly enough and would highly recommend it. The part before that though that Marsa Alam organized for us - pick up from Cairo and drop off to the Oasis and the drive back was very disappointing. Firstly there was no communication from Marsa Alam despite repeated requests. Didnt get driver details for a 6am pick up until 11pm the previous night. The driver then only spoke arabic and proceeded to drive at very high speeds through the desert while talking on his phone constantly. At one point he was hands free on the wheel while talking on one phone and texting on the other..it felt very unsafe. On our return as we reached Cairo we were bundled out of one car into another to go to the airport. On the whole the transfer experience to the desert and back and the communication was sub par. The desert experience itself though was amazing

Best thing we did in Cairo. The desert is a true wonder and the tour company are fantastic. They are very hospitable and knowledgable and was honestly something to remember for a life time. You do not feel like you are on a ‘tourist trip’ at all, it’s a truly authentic experience showing the beauty of nature and the Bedouin culture. If you have any time in Cairo I recommend doing this trip above all else.

The white desert during the night is just amazing and so peaceful! Our guide was great and friendly! Good cookers, good driver and good singer haha

We visited the white desert with our lovely hosts Mustafa and Ahmed. They showed us the best sights and cooked us delicious foods. We loved their energy, they made us feel at home right away. Overall, it was an experience we’ll never forget. You might come out feeling that you were meant to be a desert person.

It was the best experience in Egypt so far! Totally worth it! The guide was very nice and everything was well organized!

The white desert and valley of agabat felt like another planet, so beautiful! We found fossils that were millions of years old! We are also a huge fan of any hot spring, so the springs were a nice touch. Ahmed took very good care of us, and cooked delicious food! We recommend this adventure!

This trip looked absolutely amazing at a good price. We really wanted to go especially since it was supposed to be a full moon. We were so disappointed when we had to cancel but marsa alam treated us very well and gave us a full refund less than 24 hours before the trip with no hassle. I would definitely not hesitate to use them again.

Maybe one of the best experience in my life. The food was amazing, the discovery of the deserts too, we really liked to sleep there and enjoy sunset and sunrise. The evening with Ahmed & Moustafa was really great, they played music around the fire and we looked all the stars in the sky.

me with my family booked 2 days to baharia oasis and it was fabulous experience from A to Z , special thanks for our guide adam who is more than perfect ,he is a credit to the company

Experiencing sunset and sunrise in the middle of nowhere in a "Star Trek"-like landscape in complete silence

Muy buen servicio. Coches en perfecto estado, Mustafá nuestro guía hablaba un buen inglés, muy trabajador y profesional, sin prisas y conociéndose cada rincón del desierto. Pero lo mejor era la comida que nos preparaba en el desierto, riquísima y suficiente. Por la noche había mantas suficientes para no pasar frío en enero. Durante todo el viaje una atmósfera muy agradable que hemos disfrutado a tope. Gracias.

Fantastische reis naar de White Desert, goed geregeld en heel veilig. Mustafa en Ahmed namen ons mee in 2 SUV's in de woestijn. Ze waren heel vriendelijk en gemakkelijk in de omgang, en kookten lekker eten. Primitief overnacht in de White Desert, maar zeker waard om in zo'n omgeving te overnachten.

Super expérience ! Une belle découverte, de beaux paysages, un guide au top! Très bons souvenirs je recommande😁
