What people love about White Desert Tours
The desert was so beautiful and the starry sky was breathtaking. And our driver, Ahmad, was a great cook, driver, and conversationalist. It was a trip for two women, but it was very safe and we had unforgettable memories of Egypt. If I have a chance, I would like to go to the desert again with Ahmad's driving. Chika We arrived in the desert about 3-4 hours from our hotel in Cairo. Our driver, Omar, picked us up on time and drove safely. It was very cold at night in the desert in December.Momoko
