They were very precise and attentive with our needs, as we are not that young anymore! Still we manage to have a very safe and adventurous trip in Fayoum
super friendly and great experience for the money, I went alone and didn’t regret it, it was fun!
Everything was wonderful! The guide was flexible and tuned into our needs, knowing when to talk and when to let us enjoy in silence. The food was also very good, and the day just flew by. A delightful experience with great organization.”
“We had a great time on this tour! The felucca ride was incredibly relaxing with stunning views of the water and surrounding nature. The sandboarding on the desert dunes was a highlight—so much fun. Lunch was delicious, and it was fascinating to see how local pottery is made. Everything felt well-organized, and our guide was really friendly. Highly recommend!”
If you want to leave the city and explore more nature, this tour is for you! Omar did an amazing job from start to finish with his hospitality and information he provided about Egypt. We went through the desert to see the whale fossils, swam at Magic lake (fresh salt water) tried to sand board LOL, and visited the waterfalls. It was a different side of Egypt that is refreshing to see. Thank you!!
Fayoum Oasis is an amazing area …. Like a secret diamond… beautiful places but it’s a little bit far from Cairo (2 hours) … you should visit for relaxing from the crowded Cairo… Wear your swimsuit! You would like to swim definitely… The lunch was perfect and the hole experience… If a change something , that it was start earlier in morning (maybe 7 o clock) so don’t have too high temperature that had after 1-2 o clock
Fayoum was so beautiful! Our jeep traveled many kilometers in the desert, off road. We saw waterfalls, whale bones, lakes and the kids went sandboarding! It was a day to remember
A day that had everything! Tha highlights for me were: riding a 4x4 in the desert (our driver Mustafa knows the area like the palm of his hand), the visit to the… valley of whales (an UNESCO site), magical moments in the magic lake (you can swim there!) and sand boarding! Omar, who drove us from Giza to Fayoum, was with us all the time, was very helpful, and ensured our day is unforgettable!
