It was without a doubt our best tour of our time in Egypt.
Our tour guide Hassan was very polite and helpful and we had a really great time . I would for sure recommend it to anyone who would like a small adventure in the desert.

This was a really fun experience. It is a bit of a drive to the park but the experience was well worth it. Along the way we passed through a town/village which was quite interesting to see how the locals truly live away from a big city like Cairo. The waterfalls were lovely and the opportunities for pictures were extraordinary. Our guide did a great job. We were picked up promptly at the hotel. The sand boarding was a new and novel experience as was riding the sand dunes and of course the camels. The lunch experience was unique and the food was quite good. This was a truly fun experience that I would highly recommend. It exposes you to areas that you don't typically see on the regular Egypt tourist haunts.

It was an amazing experience. From the time they pick you up until it’s finished.
Amn the tour manager was always there tending to all your needs. Whatever you ask he will do. You are the boss here.
The whole trip was beautiful. The old city. The museum. The salt lake. The Safari. Sleeping under the starts. The oasis. The food. Everything was perfect.
The salt lake was one of the highlights of this trip. Very unique and wonderful. Its like a magical paradise.
The safari what an amazing experience. Recommend this whole trip.
Thanks Amn for everything.

Professional company that provided a great day tour option to get out of the city and see a more remote area of Egypt. We loved the sand-boarding on the dunes and the views from the Mountains. Our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and laid back. Advice for other travelers - if smoke bothers you, you may want to request a non-smoking guide as it is common in Egypt. Also, swimming was not permitted. I’m not sure if it was the time of year as other reviewers seem to have enjoyed swimming in the lake, so please inquire before booking if this is important to you.

We had a wonderful time and our guides were brilliant. We were not rushed and could take our time around the pyramids and Sphinx. Rasha our guide around the pyramids was knowledgeable and very experienced - it made the trip feel unique and personal. Our guide for the desert, Amn, was incredibly professional and thoughtful, and again allowed us to go at our own pace while ensuring we got the most out of our time. He also was very knowledgeable and well connected with the sites and people there. Dune basking, rowing on the lakes, sand boarding, and the striking in beautiful “magic lake” were all an incredible and exhilarating experience. Overall, for us, having personal guides were the perfect way to see the sites, we were very well taken care of, the food was good (with delicious fresh fruits), we felt safe and supported at all times.

This was a great way to see the real side of Egypt and do things a typical tourist level tour does. We did a camel ride and experienced the culture, sites and food outside the typical tourist agenda. Ivan the guide was great and I recommend this tour adventure.

We went today and this was a wonderful experience. I was a little concerned about safety due to the current unrest in nearby regions but it turns out that the concern was unfounded. We felt safe in Cairo and safe throughout the excursion. There was never cause for concern. Our guide Ivan was great. He picked us up promptly and we took off for Wadi El Rayyan Park. Along the way we saw the Pyramids in the distance and Ivan gave us many details about the area along the route. En route we travelled through a small town that gave us an idea of how the people there live. It was shopping day there where all the people go to shop once a week and looked like a giant farmers market. We went on and stopped before we got to the park to switch to the 4x4 Land cruiser and the competent and safe driver who accompanied it. We got to the park and viewed many sites. Ivan gave us great background and discussion about the sites along with answering all our questions. We got to go on the camel ride which was a high point for me. Our terrific driver also took us off road up and down many sand dunes. We also tried out sand boarding which was a lot of fun. We ended up at the Bedouin Camp which was a unique experience with enjoyable food. After that we headed home. The whole day took about 9 hours and introduced us to a lot of experiences that you don't get on the mainstream touristy things typically done in Egypt. I highly recommend the experience and have the utmost confidence in Ivan.
