Our tour was very enjoyable, especially our guide Ryan was very helpful and knowledgeable. We were picked up from the hotel and dropped off at the hotel, our vehicle was very comfortable, our driver Kira was very careful in traffic and very respectful towards us. We can say that our favorite part of the tour was being in the Sahara, the safari part. Our hotel in Siwa was very oriental, we felt like we were in an oasis. As a suggestion about the salt lakes; I can say that don't forget to bring sea shoes with you, the salt was very hard. We can say that the food could have been better, the only negative thing. Other than that, this is a nice tour that you can do in Egypt and see the Sahara up close. Thank you my friends and myself 🌸

All thanks to Rami for making sure our trip is wonderful, relaxing and fun. He is very supportive person and goes to very extent for making sure the travellers are happy! He acted well as a translator, planner, navigator, photographer and a good friend! I will definitely come back and would love to travel again with him. Best of luck for your future and many thanks for the hospitality! Thanks to Mohamed (driver) as well for the safe and comfortable return. He has got a good smiling face!

The activity was amazing, worth every euro really...even better were our guides Ramy Afifi & Mohamed Hisham who were fully descriptive wherever we went, they helped us with the photos by taking professional shots, as well as any other assistance or help in the cities...also to mention that we didn't lack anything in terms of food, water and snacks...I highly recommend this excursion...if you are with the same guides you felt lucky, they will make your experience unique

the activities are great, the sunset in the desert and the sandboarding are very very good, the hot springs in the evening are pleasant and relaxing we went there as a couple and we do not regret for a single second having taken this excursion thank you also enormously to our very pleasant guide Ali Afify and to our driver Khaled who taught us to speak Egyptian and to count too, a beautiful meeting in a beautiful excursion!

It was 3 exceptionally beautiful days. An educational, spectacular and yet deeply relaxing journey into 1001 nights. You can see that the tour guide Fares and his driver Mohammed are friends and get along very well, so there was no shortage of fun either. Bravo! You can't do better than that!
