    It was a long way to get there but finally what we saw was amazing. Good team of Sun Pyramids carving about our needs all the time. Thanks to Kareem who guided us through these beautiful landscapes.

    Sun Pyramids simply run the best tours and we will not consider any other agency for future trips to Egypt. You will feel safe in their hands as they employ the most competent drivers to get you safely from A to B and the best guides to manage your itinerary. We have just come back from a three-day tour in the White Desert and Baharia Oasis which was simply magical… Our guide Abdo excelled at his job: not only was he knowledgeable of the sites and very competent at addressing any unexpected issues that may rise up during the trip (such as obtaining medicines for our comfort etc), he was also an incredibly nice, warm and bright person. I really enjoyed our conversations about cultural, economical and social aspects of Modern Egypt and learnt so much about his fascinating country. His command of both English and French was excellent, so if you have the luck to have him on your next trip, you will not be disappointed ;) Finally, I would like to mention that the White Desert and Baharia Oasis Tour is an excellent example of sustainable tourism, since it is run in cooperation with the local Bedouin community and helps their sustenance: from local lodgings, local restaurants to desert driving, you will feel like your financial contribution is actually going a long way and being shared with the local community to benefit these warm and generous people of the desert. I take home with me the memories of their smiles and polite respect of others which transcends any language… As for the desert itself, you have to experience it for yourself, as the vastness and beauty of it is difficult to describe in words… Egypt, you forever have my heart…

    Communication with the tour operator, the guide, arrangements with the drivers, the food: all great. And the desert is fantastically beautiful anyway.

    Our guide / driver (Mahmoud, the one who plays a flute) for the white desert was excellent. He spoke great English, had super knowledge of the area and was a good cook. The driver / guide (also called Mahmoud) on the second day for Bahariya Oasis was good too. Though the tour of Bahariya was a bit underwhelming. Overall the tour was good but seems to be overpriced for what it is (especially since you’re camping one night and sleeping in a motel type set up on another night).

    Left Cairo at 6:30 am with a driver. After a 4 hour car ride arrived at Bahariya Oasis and met our tour guide. After a lunch, we left for the Black desert, crystal mountain, and the white desert. We were in a 4 wheel drive vehicle and went further into the desert than most tours. Absolutely incredible!!!! Got back to our hotel at 9:30 pm., long day , but very much enjoyed the white desert! Tour guide was a marvelous driver and guide thru the sand dunes.

    We spent a lovely day with Omar, Tamir and Mahmoud! The landscape surprises us every second: black and white sand, remarkable stones. The weather was unexpected as well but we were lucky and the rain didn’t catch us at all, only in a car😁 I can recommend this company to my friends, they will never forget such experience!

    Our Guide to the white desert was fabulous. He showed us all the spots and was keen to ensure that we had lots of time in each area. Although there was a schedule we were never felt rushed. His calm and friendly demeanour was infectious and he was able to adjust according to what we were interested in. Did I mention that he was an excellent cook? We had a beautiful fireside meal under the stars. All hotel transportation from Cairo was efficient and comfortable. I would highly recommend this experience if you are looking for a rustic adventure in Egypt.
