Excellent tour.

Excellent experience with Egypt Safari Tours. The attention and communication were rated 10; they were always attentive to our needs, concerned at every moment when we went on the desert tour to ensure we were okay (it is worth noting that we had no signal); the drivers and guides were very careful and very respectful. Totally recommendable. We made the transfer from Luxor to Aswan, the Abu Simbel tour, and the desert tour.

Egypt as I have never seen it before

I was terrified of spending a night in the desert, having never slept in a tent in my life, and I was afraid of various animals, but our two drivers, we were in two cars with four people plus them, pampered us, prepared everything, and it was an unforgettable experience. Both deserts fascinated us; I was very sorry to return to reality. Thank you, Egypt Safari Tours

Unforgettable experience!!

An absolutely mind-blowing experience! We were very well taken care of from start to finish. Our guides were the best, and made us feel completely comfortable. The beauty of the white desert is unimaginable until seen with your own eyes. Camping under the stars was incredible! Nothing compares to the desert night sky! An absolute must-do activity, amazing value for money, put it straight to the top of your bucket list!!

Unimaginable.

The excursion to the Bahariya oasis, the black desert, and the white desert, with a night in the desert, is one of the most beautiful experiences I have ever had. In addition to breathtaking landscapes, we were accompanied by experienced and competent guides and 4x4 drivers. After visiting the black desert, we ventured into the dunes of the white desert where the camp for dinner and the night was set up. A breathtaking experience, from the sunset lights to the ocean of stars visible at night, free from light pollution. Excellent food cooked on the spot (always very abundant) and entertainment with singing and tambourines. The day after breakfast, we are once again exploring the white desert with its unique limestone rock formations. Special mention to our driver Mahamood for his competence and friendliness!

Dreams are desires ⭐️⭐️⭐️👑👑👑

Back yesterday from a fantastic trip to Egypt. The pyramids of Giza and the beautiful Egyptian museum in Cairo with an excellent guide in Italian. The oasis of Siwa with its ancient citadels and turquoise salt lake, a spectacle of nature, But, above all, from the Bahariya oasis to the wonderful black desert, the crystal mountain, the white desert with overnight stay at the tented camp and Bedouin dinner: Osama and Achmed pampered us with a 5-star dinner. The starry sky, the dawn, intense emotions that we will carry in our hearts forever. Emad Mebad that we sincerely thank, Yoma for the 'organization always attentive to detail, and all the guys who accompanied us during the tour, perfect in everything for everything, the availability, and' family welcome of Egypt Safari Tour. I dreamed of this trip for a long time and everything was beyond expectations 🩵🧿🩵

A truly special experience

The White Desert and the Black Desert are unlike anywhere else: silent, vast, and almost unreal. Sleeping under the stars was the highlight, beautiful and unforgettable! Everything was smooth and well organized, and it really felt like a full immersion in the landscape. A big thank you to our local guide Emad, who took great care of us throughout the trip and guided us with real knowledge and attention!
