It was the best tour I experienced in Egypt. Without this tour, my trip would have been just an ordinary one, similar to that of any other tourist. The biggest highlight was sleeping in the desert. At that time, I saw a shooting star for the first time in my life and was able to make a wish. The BBQ prepared by the Bedouin tribe was delicious and truly unforgettable. In addition to that, the White Desert, the Black Desert, Crystal Mountain, and other sights were absolutely breathtaking. I think the tour price is very reasonable, as it includes one night’s accommodation as well as breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If your group has fewer than five people, you cannot choose your companions—but go with an open mind and enjoy it! I was paired with a wonderful Canadian couple and a wonderful French couple. I was very happy to share the experience with them because they were so kind and considerate. If you want to experience something different from other travelers, I highly recommend this tour. I hope you enjoy it too.

FYI. You are away for 31 hours. In that time you will spend 9 hours on a mini bus and 7 hours in a four wheel drive. It is a really really long way to go. There is no group camping, just an isolated camp with the five passengers and the driver. Two tents, and a wind break. The desert is your toilet, awkward in daylight, easier at night, but make sure you have strong thigh muscles to squat. For $370 I am sure you can find better things to do with your time in Egypt. 😢

The whole experience was incredible. Everyone was very nice, our driver in the desert was amazing, very kind, a good cook and the whole trip was great. The landscape is breathtaking. I do recommend doing this.

I had an amazing experience with othman tuor on the White and Black Desert tour. Everything was perfectly organized from clear communication before the trip to comfortable transport and a knowledgeable, friendly guide. The camping setup was great, with delicious meals and a magical night under the stars. The itinerary was well-paced, covering all the highlights without feeling rushed. Truly unforgettable and highly recommended!

We spent three weeks as a family of 5 touring through Egypt. This tour was an incredibly beautiful experience which we can not highly recommend enough! From pickup and return in Kairo to the driver/guide in the black & white desert everyone was highly professional, caring and attentive. The desert guide knew the desert by heart and knew his stuff about how to handle the 4-wheel drive. Trust me, I have lived and toured 4x great deserts of the world and it is important, to have experts involved. They set up a private camp for you and offer a tent but we slept under the open sky with the stars in the middle of nowhere. They cook you an excellent dinner. One of my daughters is a fussy eater and she ate more than any other evening in Egypt and mumbled „Daddy, tell the guide he knows how to cook!“. Sleeping under the open sky, waking up just before sunrise, to see the stars so picture perfect above you, you feel the sky might fall into you and the stunning sunrise, is an experience we will all savor for years to come. Thank you for all involved!
