The white desert is great and the time was very nice. Our guides were nice too. However, beware of eating!! It was only from the return trip that quite severe gastrointestinal complaints arose, which only improved after a week with the help of antibiotics. That clouded the rest of the holiday and was a great pity.
Vielen Dank für Ihre Rückmeldung und dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, Ihre Erfahrungen zu teilen. Es freut uns zu hören, dass Ihnen die weiße Wüste und die Zeit mit unseren Guides gefallen haben. Es tut uns sehr leid, dass Sie gesundheitliche Probleme durch das Essen hatten. Das entspricht natürlich nicht unseren Standards, und wir werden dies umgehend mit den entsprechenden Partnern besprechen, um sicherzustellen, dass solche Vorfälle in Zukunft vermieden werden. Wir hoffen, dass Sie trotz dieses Vorfalls den Rest Ihrer Reise genießen konnten und wünschen Ihnen weiterhin gute Gesundheit. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Rana

We left around 5.30 in the morning from Luxor with a van towards the desert. At 2 hours from the desert we were transferred to another car. It took us to Al-Bawiti. There we received a delicious lunch and met our guide Mostafa. Mostafa toured us from the black to the white desert. The tour was top notch, with amazing surreal views. We ended up in the new white desert, where we made camp with another group. We ate by the fire and had a great view of the moon, the stars and the desert. Highly recommended!
We zijn ontzettend blij dat je hebt genoten van de reis naar de witte woestijn. Het klinkt alsof alles perfect was, van het indrukwekkende uitzicht tot de mooie momenten bij het haardvuur onder de sterren. We zijn trots dat we jou deze unieke ervaring hebben kunnen bieden en dat onze gids Mostafa je heeft kunnen begeleiden in deze adembenemende omgeving. We hopen dat je nog lang zult terugdenken aan deze bijzondere tocht en dat we je in de toekomst opnieuw mogen verwelkomen voor een ander avontuur. Met vriendelijke groet, Rana
I absolutely loved today's tour to the Bahariya Desert and was extremely impressed with our driver. He picked us up, ensured we arrived at our destination safely, and was diligent and careful throughout the journey. He also took great care of my wife when she was making purchases and stood guard to ensure her safety. Additionally, he safely transported us back to our hotel, completing an eight-hour commute while making sure we felt supported. With regatds to the actual tour: our guide was very informative, explaining the history and ensuring that we were comfortable and understood everything he was articulating. He welcomed any clarifying questions we had. The lunch was spectacular! We enjoyed home cooked meals in a traditional home, and the flavours and variety of food exceeded our expectations. It was a lovely day shared with my loved ones, and I'm deeply impressed by how well Marsa Alam facilitated the tour for me on such short notice.

Amazing experience! The 2 days tour in the Black and White desert was unbelievable. We saw gorgeous landscapes in these deserts, and everything was very well organized. Everybody was very friendly. We spent a night in a tent camp in the middle of the desert. What an experience! The guides played Arabic music until late night, that was amazing. I highly recommend adding the Bahariya Oasis tour after the main excursion. The company owner gave us a great tour of his gorgeous hometown, with date-trees fields, salt lake, great viewpoint and huge black mountain. Go for it!!

One of the best experiences I have ever had. The tour was very enjoyable, nice company and a wonderful guide. At the beginning I was a bit relentless to go, due to the desert climate, but since this trip was a gift for my girlfriend for her birth decided to do it. The guide, Ahmed, brought us around the black and withe desert giving us lessons about the history and the Bedouin colture. Everything was accompanied by the wonderful view of the desert and the oasis of Bahariya. Also we went with another guide, Ahmed brother who also made our trip more fun. Another thing that I want to say is, go with the Musicians of the Desert (Ahmed and his brother), if you go with them you will have the wonderful experience of listening some Bedouin music sang by them (that’s why that name). Also I don’t have words to describe the feeling of hearing the blowing of the wind in the middle of the desert during the early morning.

Unique experience in a magnificent setting. Feeling like you're outside of time and on the moon. A lot of driving, but the trip is worth it. At each stop the landscapes follow one another and are not alike. Thanks to Ashraf for his support which made this experience even more magical
