Wonderful activity with Egypt Luxury Tours that took us to the black and white desert. A surreal experience. UNIQUE. Thanks to Youssef, our guide who spoke Italian, because we do not know a word of English!!! And thanks to Mohammed, the desert man.

Black and white desert had it’s beauty, but Hassan out tour guide had special spots that he took us too and made it even better! His vibes are extremely cool calm and collective and makes the tour that much better. Wouldn’t have anyone else as a tour guide when we come back for round 2!

The trip was well organized with transfers between locations smooth. Our guide and driver were courteous and informative about the geological formations in both deserts that were formed millions of years ago. I opted to spend the overnight stay sleeping beneath the stars around the campfire, a special experience away from the stresses of city life. Ahmed cooked a delicious meal filled with local ingredients, the smells which brought a small curious, friendly desert fox to camp. All in all an adventurous trip in the safe hands of our tour guide.

Extraordinary experience after racing on the desert dunes with a 4X4 and doing sandboarding, we had dinner and slept in a Bedouin camp, drank tea under a starry sky and at dawn, barefoot in the freezing sand, we came out of the tent to see the sun rise. All this was possible only thanks to a perfect and impeccable organization and thanks to our two guides Ahmad, kind, romantic and in love with Italy, and Khaled, friendly, thoughtful and attentive to every little detail; with them you will always and everywhere feel at home even in the middle of the desert.
