We had such a great driver/guide who topped off the whole experience which was already incredible. The landscapes and views were incredible and unlike anything i’ve ever seen before. After multiple activities and views throughout the day we ended setting up camp and getting a full meal cooked over the fire and then a drum party around the fire. We got to sleep under the incredible stars and wake up to the sunrise and breakfast. It’s definitely an experience i’ll never forget.

This trip was a highlight of my time in Cairo!! Seeing the different types of deserts and natural rock formations was so incredible! Our driver from Cairo was super sweet and always made sure we were comfortable. Our guide for the trip was super fun and answered our questions whenever we had them! He also was super helpful in taking our pictures! We had the best time on this tour, would recommend to everyone!

My 3 friends and I just returned for our camp trip and we had an AMAZING TIME!! from seeing all sorts of different sites to sandboarding to sleeping under the stars everything was delightful!

The White Desert overnight tour was an unforgettable adventure. From the drive through the Bahariya Oasis and Black Desert to the surreal chalk formations of the White Desert, every moment felt magical. Our guide was friendly, and the sunset over the desert was stunning. Camping under the stars, enjoying a delicious Bedouin dinner by the fire, and waking to the peaceful desert sunrise made the experience truly special. The tour was well-organized, safe, and perfect for nature lovers and photographers. A must-do experience in Egypt!

It was great, people were friendly the only issue was the long drive to the desert from Cairo, the driver was sleepy and we had to constantly watch and make noise or shake his seat to keep him awake.

My overnight safari in the White Desert was an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, everything was well-organized, and the team went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and enjoyable adventure. The journey from Cairo was comfortable, with a few scenic stops along the way, including the Black Desert. Each location was breathtaking. Once we reached the White Desert, the landscape was absolutely mesmerizing—otherworldly rock formations, vast open spaces, and a stunning sunset that painted the sky in shades of orange and pink. The campsite was set up beautifully, and the team prepared a delicious traditional meal that we enjoyed under the stars. The night sky was one of the clearest I’ve ever seen, perfect for stargazing. Sleeping in the desert was a surreal experience, though I have to admit it wasn’t the most comfortable. It got extremely cold at night, and despite the blankets provided, I found it a bit difficult to sleep. If you’re planning to do this trip, I highly recommend bringing extra layers and a little pillow.
