White Desert Egypt Tour TripAdvisor reviews
An Unforgettable Experience in the White and Black Desert and the Bahariya Oasis. - I had an amazing and truly memorable tour with White Desert Egypt Tour. At first, I felt a little hesitant and worried because I was traveling alone. However, after booking... read more the trip, when I arrived at Bahariya Oasis and met Mohamed, the tour organizer, I immediately began to feel happy and comfortable. All my worries turned into hope and excitement for this beautiful experience.
From the very beginning of the trip, I felt as if I were surrounded by family, which made the experience even more comfortable and enjoyable for me. The White Desert, with its unique natural landscapes and stunning white rock formations, was an unforgettable experience. The Black Desert, with its beautiful geological formations, was also amazing. In addition, visiting Bahariya Oasis was a different and truly enjoyable experience.
My guide, Mohamed, was excellent and very helpful. He made sure that the trip was enjoyable and comfortable throughout. The transportation service was also very good and well organized, and the food was delicious and especially enjoyable after a long day full of adventure.
The service was excellent from the beginning until our return to Cairo, and the organization was outstanding. The driver was cooperative and respectful and always made sure that we were comfortable throughout the journey.
The tour was full of adventure and breathtaking natural scenery. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to discover the beauty of the Egyptian desert in a unique way, especially solo travelers who may feel nervous about embarking on a new experience.
This is definitely an experience worth repeating!
Thank you to White Desert Egypt Tour and our guide Mohamed for the excellent organization and service, and for making this trip an unforgettable experience! 🙏

An Unforgettable Desert Experience (Private Tour) - With my wife, we spent three days and two nights exploring the Egyptian desert with our wonderful guide Mohamed, visiting the White Desert, Black Desert, and Crystal Mountains.
Mohamed... read more and Mahmood, our chef, were incredibly kind, helpful, and attentive throughout the entire trip. We always felt well looked after, comfortable, and safe. Their hospitality made the experience even more special.
The desert itself was absolutely breathtaking, and sleeping under the stars was a truly magical and unforgettable experience. Everything was unique, from the landscapes to the atmosphere and the incredible sense of being immersed in nature.
We highly recommend this experience and especially Mohamed and Mahmood to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable desert adventure in Egypt!

A Serious Adventure, Done Properly - Having guides who were actually raised in the desert changed the whole experience for me. Their stories and knowledge weren't things you could get from simply reading a guidebook. You... read more could feel that this wasn't just a workplace for them—it was home.
