We spent 2 days in Cairo (after that Siwa and then Bahariya and White Desert (9 days) and from the moment we were picked up at the airport we were looked after, both driver and guide were reliable, just TOP. Amir is always available as a contact person and really - he does everything you can imagine, even if it is individual. For example, I was able to plan the entire itinerary with him individually. Brilliant! Siwa is a must-see, it is impressive and wonderful to look at. Swimming in the Salt Lake - unforgettable!! The selected accommodations were lovingly designed and you don't lack for anything! Our driver and guide provided everything you could wish for, stopped by or got it for you. You can also do this tour as a solo traveler (woman/women)! Bahariya is also worth seeing! The Ahmed Safari Camp is excellent, the food and accommodation TOP! You feel like you're part of a family. The tours also start from here and you can also stop there for one or two nights, store your luggage, etc. Here too, wishes are fulfilled. Incomparable and my personal highlight was White Desert. Mohamed, our driver and guide, lives his job and is passionate about it. I can only say that tears came to my eyes because the landscape was incomparable, the pictures you see are so breathtaking, unforgettable. Sleeping by the campfire under the stars (or in a tent), feeding desert foxes, experiencing camp life - I didn't imagine it would be so nice. The big suitcase came with us (because of our tour), we could have left it in the camp - but they really do everything there that is possible and feasible. THANK YOU for these wonderful days and the experience - but much more - thank you to Amir and Mohamed, you are great and we will do this tour again. For all of you who are undecided - you are in good hands here and you will always have someone to contact during the trip. Enjoy it!

I took the 4 days/5 nights trip from Cairo to Luxor, with one day camping in the White Desert. The overall experience was very good, and I truly had a wonderful adventure in the western oasis of Egypt. The whole experience was magical and you get to see Egypt through an unfiltered, authentic lens. Amir and his team understand their clientele well. All the drivers and guides spoke good English, and I was able to communicate with them. I was a solo female traveler and felt safe with all the men who accompanied me at various points of the journey. I had to change drivers and guides in between, and Amir constantly kept in touch with me to make sure everything was going ok. While the package is not exactly cheap, it is worth it because the whole process works fairly seamlessly, and you are paying for the convenience of everything being taken care of. The Bedouin camp in Dhakla was absolutely beautiful and a perfect place to unwind! Mahmoud was my Bedouin guide for the one night I camped in the White Desert and he was awesome! He knows the desert well and was an awesome driver, guide, cook and musician-all rolled into one!! It is definitely an adventure of a lifetime.

We took a private 3D/2N excursion to the Valley of the Whales and the White Desert. We agreed with Amir (+20 114 313 3000) the following itinerary:
-Day 1: Pick up from our hotel in Cairo and all day at various points of interest in the El Fayum Oasis, especially the Valley of the Whales. Overnight at hotel in Bahariya Oasis.
- Day 2: Departure at 10 am to the Black Desert, Crystal Mountain and White Desert. Overnight camping in the white desert.
- Day 3: Some more stops in the white desert and at the hot springs. Return to Cairo.
The organisation was perfect during the three day trip and Amir was in contact with us at all times via Whatsapp. All the drivers we had were very professional and experienced in desert driving.
The scenery is spectacular and the experience unforgettable. I highly recommend doing this tour with White Desert Travel, because everything went according to plan.

We booked an excursion from Aswan to Abu Simbel to spend a night in Abu Simbel and see the light and sound show. When we were arriving he told us that he had not bought the tickets for the show (but he did charge us for them), so we should buy them when we get there. However, there were no more tickets for that night, so we decided to return to Aswan. We had to pay for an extra night in Aswan and they did not refund us the money for the Abu Simbel hotel or the money for the tickets. A disaster!! He charged us everything (hotel and tickets) and he didn't have to pay anything. He told us he would refund our money, but that was not the case. We do not recommend it!!

5 Days 4 nights. An amazing trip from Cairo to Abduls Safarie Camp. 14.00 I met my driver Hussain, the "price of the dessert" and we where 2 nights in the white dessert,
see western Dessert, akabat, the Vulkanos in the Black Dessert, On an Abyss I asked "Hussain you know what you do" and the 4x4 slowly slipped down and Hussains words, "I also know how we get up somewhere." The best driver I ever had. !! Hussain made everything, uploading, morning tea and breakfast, meals, campfire, arrange me bottles of Coke, as I dont like water, amazing landscape, many stops. The 4 nights where unforgettable cold - but the 5 days, WOW. I am single traveller ( no group ) and so we could drive all the aerea, 10000 of turists will never see. I would give you 10 Points. At least the price for me was very fair. When back to Bahariya I take the time to spend a few days, you find in Bahariya 2 tombs
( take your lamp, its great ) and the museum with 8 mummies.
Well Oranisation, 3 meals a day, and Amir (Manager ) does everything that I feel well.

Although it is a long way from Cairo to the desert, it was a trip that must be taken at least once. It impressed us as much as Cappadocia in Turkey. The vividness of the stars we saw for the first time was unforgettable and we were impressed by the jeep driver's dedication.
However, they always ask for tips as if it's a given, and even if you give them a tip, they take it for granted without saying a word with a grateful expression on their face. If you don't meet their expectations, they frown on you. I felt like I was traveling with people watching and not paying for the tour.

Took a day trip along with Family from Giza to Oasis. I usually do not take organized trips, but since there were no other options I took the WhiteDesert trip with Amir from White Desert Travel.
I must say the trip was perfectly organised, the pickup was on time, the car was spacious and clean, the driver was courteous. Provided stops for Bio break in the way till Bahariya Oasis. Once we reached the Oasis site..we were treated with scrumptious local lunch at the site and then the rest of the trip to White and Black desert was on a 4x4.
We were indeed lucky to get Hazim as our driver ...An excellent driver cum guide who knew the desert inside out, and provided us ample time at every major point...and provided loads of local information..about the farms local lifestyle.
Apart from the tourist highlights as per itinerary, we enjoyed some time sandboarding and finally Hazim prepared Egyptian tea /snacks for us with a perfect spot to watch sunset
Though one day is not enough to see the White and Black desert..I feel this is the best option for travellers with limited time. Thanks Amir and Hazim for making my Family trip a memorable one.

Everything was perfwct from the beggining to the end.
The drive was perfect with stops from time to time to stretch our legs and buy snacks and water.
When we arrived they explained us in detail all the activities, we had lunch (vegetarian option available), then we headed first to the black desert, then crystal mountain,some sandboarding and we ended jp looking at the sunset while the drivers were setting our camp on the white desert.
In each place we had enough time to explore and enjoy.
Once the camp was set, we just relaxed under the stars, then we have snacks and a great dinner. We had the option of either sleep under the stars or in a tent, everyone on our group chose the firstoption and i strongly recommend it.
Bear in mind you need to bring some clothes for the cold weather at night.
We woke up just before sunrise, we enjoyed it and then we had breakfast, after that we explored the white desert and started our journey back to Cairo.
They take care of everything in detail, food, snacks, bottled water, brief but enough explanation of all places.
All in all a great tour.

I did the 2 day tour of the desert and words cannot describe how amazing it was. It was so much more that I could ever expect and will have memories from it for the rest of my life. I decided to do this tour the day I arrived in Egypt since that night was the full moon, so I was picked up right from the airport. The driver was great and the car was clean and air conditioned and I was greeted by other travellers who would be on the tour with me (which was great since I was doing a Solo trip and this was my first time travelling). After a drive to Bahariya oasis I was introduced to our guide for the tour, Badr. He was very funny, informative and incredible at delivering an unforgettable experience. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide and his name actually means full moon in Arabic. He was a very good driver and gave us a fun experience driving through the desert. We saw many landmarks in the Black desert, crystal mountain and the white desert. He gave us plenty of time to explore and take photos and I never felt rushed. I took a hundreds of photos and it was just so surreal seeing everything I saw. I had to keep reminding myself where I was because it was almost dreamlike. After arriving at our camp, I chose to sleep with no tent so I could get a full view of the night sky and I’m so glad I did. Badr made an amazing meal in the desert despite him joking that he never cooks at home. He also loves his bedouin tea and sugar so he was always offering. I definitely recommend people request him if they go in this tour. The facilitator Amir was very accommodating and knew this was my first time Egypt (my first trip ever really) and was willing to help with anything I had concerns about. He also organized my trip to Siwa and was along me every step of the way which I will be writing a review about as well.
This trip was a great way to start my trip in Egypt and definitely recommend it if you are looking for something more than just seeing the typical tourist things in Egypt, which is exactly what I was looking for.

I cannot express enough of how disappointed and frustrated I am with the way this tour company operates. I paid for a tour well in advance, only to be told last minute that they would be reducing the length of the tour or changing it altogether because I was the only participant scheduled for that day. Not only did they refuse to refund me, but they completely disregarded their commitment to provide the tour I paid for. This is a clear case of dishonesty and a scam to avoid organizing a tour with only one participant. Avoid this company at all costs unless you want to be scammed and left feeling cheated.
