Fantastic trip, would give 6 out of 5 stars if I could, the White desert itself is an amazing site, was like being on an alien world, yet is actually the sea bed 5 million years ago!
The view at Wahat Osis is stunning and we also went to the black desert and crystal mountain. The tour around all of these places was in a 4x4 with another local guide which was good fun - up and round the dunes.
We also had a delicious lunch afterwards.
Our guide from Emo tours (Hamada) and our driver (Abo) were really nice and helped make the day so thanks to them 😊.
Also having visited Egypt a couple of times previously, it was amazing to see some of the natural wonders which are overshadowed by the man made wonders,
Highly recommend this trip if you have time when in Cairo ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m so glad I booked it 😊

It was a long day, but it worth to see the beautiful nature near the Bahariya Oasis and to experience the piece in the desert. A professional guide is very useful on this trip to find the best places in the Black and White Deserts.

What a wonderful day… we couldn’t imagine a better trip to visit all this rich and mesmerizing landscapes.
Our guide (Nader) was such a nice gentleman! As still in his Master degree in Archeology he explain us every detail during this 12H+ tour!
Humility and kindness define Nader. Hell do everything to make it unforgettable and that was the case!
Hope to see him again as a great archeologist!

Mon excursion c'est très bien passée. Mon guide et le chauffeur étaient ponctuels et disponibles. Ils ont répondu à toutes mes attentes et questions. J'ai passé une excellente journée, j'ai appris beaucoup de choses avec Nadeer et toutes mes félicitations à notre chauffeur pour sa conduite dans le desert. Je recommande vivement.
