It was a truly really nice experience. Hamad Abo Rakika and the driver Khaled were so kind and took care of everything. 10/10

I booked the tour mainly wanting to get out to see parts of the Egyptian Desert, but was bowled over by the stunning beauty of the Blck and White Deserts. I would return again in a heartbeat, and the only change would be to overnight. The guides were great, Wadid is a long-term local and pointed out all the great features. Definitely recommended.

We booked a day trip from Cairo to Bahariya Oasis, the White Desert, Crystal Mountain, and the Black Desert. Our guide, Nour Anwar was exceptional. He shared historical insights about each location and went above and beyond as both a guide and a genuinely kind human being. Having him with us truly enhanced the experience and made the trip even more enjoyable.

First of all the guide was worst person on the earth, instead of tour introduction started with tip pricing, according to him the tip should be $15 min. And also stated that should finish the trip before sunset as its not safe to travel ... which is totally hoax as we travelled through desert road on GoBus during night without issues. Second he skipped Bahariya Oasis as we didnt agreed for the tip. Third he quickly shown us the black and white desert and tried to return us back ASAP. Fourth the food was stale may be they forgot when they cooked. Fifth the driver deliberately tried to do the accidents as he was laughing after that. Overall can say, by booking this trip its paid sucide attempt !!!!!

English follows: 早朝日本からカイロ国際空港に到着し、直ぐに砂漠ツアーが開始される予定でした。 OTA上でメッセージを送っても、Whatsappでメッセージを送ってもcoming soonとだけ一言告げられ、3時間以上空港でドライバーを待ち続けましたが以降一切の音沙汰が無くなり、 そのためその後の予定がすべて台無しとなりました。 もちろんこちらからの電話にも応答はありません。 Viatorに返金してもらいましたが、あまりにも無責任な対応で失望しました。 I arrived at Cairo International Airport early in the morning from Japan, expecting the desert tour to start immediately. Despite sending messages on OTA and WhatsApp, I only received a one-word response, "coming soon." I waited for over three hours at the airport for the driver, but there was no further communication. As a result, all my subsequent plans were ruined. Of course, they didn’t answer any of my calls either. While I was refunded by OTA, I was deeply disappointed by their extremely irresponsible handling of the situation.

It was an amazing trip. Our Guide Hakiem and Waheed were really amazing. We had a good time at the black desert, the crystal mountains and the White desert and ended it with awesome meal. Thank you for a memorable trip

We started the day at 6.00am. Our guide was Nader and Driver was Ali. We made good progress in the morning with the 4 hour drive one way to the Iasis. Both are young guys with a great sense of humor and gave us appropriate breaks for water and the restroom. Once we got there, Ali took a break and Ahmed took us out in his 4x4 accompanied with Nader. Before going out, we relaxed with some of the best tea I have ever had. If you haven't had it, it's a must! Black tea with a very special preparation process for a week to give it a natural sugary, rose like taste. We stretched our legs and headed into the desert. Ahmed played some great tunes from local artists from his village. All of us were clapping while he was singing. It was a nice way to get us upbeat and excited for the visit ahead 😄 We made several stops along the way with Nader examining the history of the formations and helping us take group pictures. The desert is beautiful and we have a lot of excellent photos for our memories. There are several different formations that we took photos with. Qe stopped for some more special tea with a brief camp in the middle of the desert. We were done at about 4.30pm and came back to a local restraunt for dinner. This was again, some fo the best food we had around Jeremy. Great choices. We are vegetarian which made it equally impressive with the selection. After a long day, we set back with Nader and Ali back to our hotel in Giza. Made it back home tired but happy with another 4 hour drive. It was a wonderful experience and all 3 of these guys made it a great experience. Definitely recommend Emo tours and this tour in particular. We had a blast!

Mahmoud Anwar was my today guide for this and he made it such a good experience. The guy is a genuine and free spirited person and is always up for a laugh. The tour was a very adventurous one, stopping off at different places and taking some photos. The drive from Cairo is long but it's worth it as not everyone can say they've been there, especially if you camp over and see the milky way. Tip - take a good camera

Our guides picked us up directly at the hotel very early in the morning, we were offered a very good breakfast! We have traveled a long road which has deserved what we have discovered! We were taken to a campsite where then, our new driver (he should drive in formula 1 ;) ) took us to the black and white desert, the mountain of crystals and other incredible spots. We were even able to bathe in thermal waters. After a long day we returned to campus to eat a very generous dinner, it was the best dinner we ate during our entire stay in Egypt ! Thanks again and I recommend to everyone! We'll be back with our families!
