        • 1
          Having picked you up at your hotel, we'll head southwards to see the fertile landscape of the Fayoum Oasis. No, it's no mirage, but a real and present experience! The oasis takes up a vast swathe of land close to the canals of the river Nile. Ancient Egyptians were fully aware in fact of the relevance of this place, evidence for which is provided by the Meidum Pyramid, one of the oldest pharaonic pyramids, dating from around 2,600 BC. Then we'll pass through the city of Fayoum, eventually reaching Lake Qarun, one of the most important areas of the Oasis. Its salty waters are found below sea level, and it boasts an enormous surface of several hundred square kilometres. On its banks, we'll visit the Kasr Qarun archaeological site, an old settlement where temples and fortresses from different historical periods can still be found. Then we'll fuel up with lunch on the banks of Lake Qarun: here we can appreciate the rich local fauna, especially famous for its large number of birds. Then in the evening, we'll begin our return journey, back to the hotels of Cairo.

          BEST TOUR EVER!
          This was such an amazing excursion! Our guide Gamil and our driver Yasser were so kind, friendly, and welcoming the entire time so it was a wonderful atmosphere! Gamil was very knowledgeable about everything we saw and was constantly helping us take amazing pictures with all the sights to see. They were also very helpful and accommodating when some people in our group were slightly nervous about the ATV’s/camel rides and made the entire experience so enjoyable. Overall, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this experience! We got to do so much fun stuff in one day, but never felt rushed or overwhelmed. It was perfectly organized, and a great time. 10 stars!!!!

          Private guided tour of the Giza pyramids with Egyptologist, Mohsen, offering an immersive historical experience.
          I rate my experience 5 out of 5! "We had the privilege of spending the day with Mohsen, an incredibly knowledgeable Egyptologist, on a private guided tour of the Giza pyramids. His deep understanding of the history of Giza, delivered with genuine passion and love for the subject, made the experience unforgettable. Mohsen ensured we had an authentic and immersive experience, guiding us through the pyramids with great care and insight. I highly recommend the tour package, especially with Mohsen as the guide—his expertise truly brought the history of Egypt to life!"

          Breath taking experience - Memphis, Sakkara pyramids and the pyramids of Giza
          Our second day in Cairo was breath taking with Habeba! We started at Memphis and saw the amazing statue of Ramses II. Next we visited the Sakkara pyramids and had our Indiana Jones moment when going inside one of the pyramids. We experienced the pyramids of Giza in so many ways, first outside, then inside, with camels and last with atv bikes. The last part was definitely the highlight of the whole trip if you ask my teenagers. We ended our day with a dinner cruise at the Nile. Habeba is truly friendly, kind and such a lovely person. We loved every moment with her. Thank you so much for arranging everything for us and making our trip perfect! ❤️

          Amazing first day in Cairo
          We had amazing first day in Cairo with Habeba. She picked us up straight from the airport with the driver and made us feel welcome. She took care of all small details from lunch to bottled water. We were able to experience so much in one day - Mosque or Mohammad Ali, all different places of worship in Coptic Cairo, lunch in sailing boat, Museum of Egyptian Antiquities and Khan Al Kalili. She had so much interest information to share. She made it in a fun and inspiring way. Even my two teenagers were excited to learn! ❤️ Thank you so much Habeba.

          Best time in Giza with Haisam
          We took half day tour of Giza Piramid+Spinx (all inclusive) great experience with the best hospitality from Haisam. He gave us so much of ancient Egyptian information. We felt like we were a part of great history. Restaurant that he took us to was nice pyramid view and authentic taste. He took us everywhere we want to go and we spent more than half day. Highly recommend Haisam and his tour. Oh by the way Haisam is the best photographer.

          Unforgettable Experience with an Amazing Guide!
          Our private tour to the Pyramids was absolutely fantastic! Our guide, Moostafa, was exceptional, his knowledge and passion for Egyptian history truly brought the ancient wonders to life. He made sure we had plenty of time for photos, answered all our questions, and added fascinating stories you wouldn’t get from a standard tour. Moostafa’s friendly and professional approach made the whole experience even more special. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a personalized, memorable adventure!

        Highly recommend this trip. We were a family of 4, Granny, Mum and two adult children in their early 20s from the UK. We were very well looked after by our guide Islam and our expert drivers. We were able to arrange for us to be picked up from our Hotel in Cairo and dropped off at a villa in Tunis village which we really appreciated and Islam made sure we were settled there safely. The drivers struck a good balance between some fun dune driving and not scaring my 80 year old mother too much! We had plenty of time to contemplate the expanse of desert travelling between different sights.
        The highlights for us were the whale bones and landscape at Wadi el Hitan but you get so much more as well. I am still removing sand after a go at sandboarding!

        I recommend this excursion to everyone especially for the guide (Abdallah) who is good, helpful, cheerful and never intrusive! A pleasure in a sometimes suffocating Egypt!
        The places seen are splendid from the whale desert to the magic lake! Much better than I expected. A beautiful jeep tour plowing through the desert dunes! Varied and surprising landscapes!
        It's worth getting away from Cairo and the usual tourist sites for a breath of nature with few people and beautiful landscapes!
        Well done abdallah keep it up and good luck for your future!!!!
