Our tour guide Karim was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our day at the oasis and can highly recommend it.
Very nice waterfalls, even if I would never jump in there voluntarily or bathe in the dirty water. The dealers there are unfortunately completely overpriced and have below-average quality on offer.
This trip was AMAZING! Abdalla picked us up from our hotel and drove us about an hour and a half to meet Ali who picked us up in a 4 wheel drive and drove us through the sand dunes of the Sahara desert on our way to see the oasis and waterfall. We stopped and they gave me the chance to sand board down a sand dune and it was an experience I’ll never forget! This was so much fun! Abdalla took lots of great photos in the perfect spots and turned this into my favorite day on the trip! I have nothing but amazing things to say about Abdalla and Ali!

I thought I had just booked a day trip to see an oasis and a waterfall. What I actually got was so so much more! Abdalla picked us up from our hotel and drove us out to Fayoum where we met up with Ali, who took over the driving duties in his 4-wheel drive. He drove us out into the desert and up sand dunes and it was so fun and just a liiiiiiittle bit thrilling! Abdalla made the experience so fun, taking lots of photos for us and planning multiple stops for experiences, vistas, and photos along the way, including sand boarding, a mountain, and Magic Lake. We had a blast with Abdalla and Ali - they are a great team for the perfect trip into the desert! It was the highlight of our trip! I highly recommend!!

Great excursions, both guides were great. We had a great day. The waterfalls are impressive, as are the lakes, the valley of the whales and the desert which stretches as far as the eye can see. The guides took the time to explain everything to us. The Fayoum desert is an incredible place to see absolutely. The meal was great! We were welcomed perfectly in a traditional Egyptian atmosphere. Good luck going up the dunes during the sandboarding session 🚶 I recommend 100% Chukran 😌
