An authentic desert experience, under a sea of stars
This was one of the best hikes of my life! I thought being with other people would disadvantage me a bit, but in the end we ended up with this guide of ours, a local Bedouin, spending the day and then the night in the white desert with a couple of Argentinean boys. Our guide was humanly very special, it was really nice to spend time in his company. We tried to involve him and ask him if he needed a hand, but he was very kind and wanted us to enjoy our time in the desert. I highly recommend it to those who want to make a different experience, really authentic! I slept under the incredible stars of a sky never seen in my life, around me I had the silence that only the desert can reserve for you... it was something inexplicable!

The best experience you could ask for while in Cairo
We had such a great driver/guide who topped off the whole experience which was already incredible. The landscapes and views were incredible and unlike anything i’ve ever seen before. After multiple activities and views throughout the day we ended setting up camp and getting a full meal cooked over the fire and then a drum party around the fire. We got to sleep under the incredible stars and wake up to the sunrise and breakfast. It’s definitely an experience i’ll never forget.

Amazing experience!
This trip was a highlight of my time in Cairo!! Seeing the different types of deserts and natural rock formations was so incredible! Our driver from Cairo was super sweet and always made sure we were comfortable. Our guide for the trip was super fun and answered our questions whenever we had them! He also was super helpful in taking our pictures! We had the best time on this tour, would recommend to everyone!

An experience to remember
The White Desert overnight tour was an unforgettable adventure. From the drive through the Bahariya Oasis and Black Desert to the surreal chalk formations of the White Desert, every moment felt magical. Our guide was friendly, and the sunset over the desert was stunning. Camping under the stars, enjoying a delicious Bedouin dinner by the fire, and waking to the peaceful desert sunrise made the experience truly special. The tour was well-organized, safe, and perfect for nature lovers and photographers. A must-do experience in Egypt!

Great!
Beautiful adventure in the white desert!! Good organization, a driver picks you up at your hotel in Cairo or Giza, from there we leave for about 4 hours of travel. We then arrived inside a house where we had lunch and from there we made the change of car. With the new jeep from 2 in the afternoon until about 7 in the afternoon we made about 7/8 stops at the various scenic points. Beautiful especially the last part of the tuor, up to the white desert where we stopped to sleep!! This was my favorite part!

Unforgettable experience
Had an unforgettable experience! First we were picked up at our hotel by a minivan we got water the air conditioning worked well was a long drive but stopped every hour about for small break. Then we were divided into small groups and then went into the desert with jeeps. What a great experience that was!!! We rode along with hassan who could tell everything about the desert and spoke English very well joked and knew a few words of each language because of him this was an unforgettable experience! I regretted that I only did one night there was so much more to see. They had enough tents but I had decided to lie on my mattress under starry skies and got a camel blanket to keep warm.
