Posted on Tripadvisor InesamaralVerified Magical moments in the White Desert The White Desert tour was one of our favourite moments in Egypt. The sunset and sunrise surrounded by a lunar landscape were absolutely incredible. Mohammed was very responsive, since the beginning and he adapted the tour to all our needs. The food was delicious, we had the opportunity of having some sort of showers during the trip and the pace of the tour was really good too. He kindly helped us sort some further travel plans with a trustworthy agency in Luxor. I can definitely recommend Mohammed, who is Bedouin, and his small team for your adventure in the desert, you just need to relax and enjoy. On a final note, we were two female travellers and always felt safe and comfortable. Thank you for everything!Posted on Tripadvisor CladehVerified Amazing Desert Dunes Adventure 🏜️ Our two-day adventure to the Western Desert with Egypt Desert Dunes was an amazing experience, that I can safely recommend to anyone! Cairo pick-up was directly from hotel, and transport was in a very modern and comfortable car. Enough breaks at (not overpriced!) gas stations. Lunch at Bahariya was in a guesthouse-like space that we shared with a few other small groups. I personally wished for a more private and "local" lunch experience, but that's minor detail. Food was tasty and they asked if we wanted more! Eventually we changed to a jeep and headed to the desert where we saw many amazing sights. There were two guides - the "main guy" who came from Cairo with us and a local driver. They were mainly chatting with each other in the front of the car, which was okay for us. The guides let us explore and take pictures independently. I would've wished that they'd tell us more about each sight without asking, but they were always happy to answer our questions! Camping at the desert was simply awesome! We shared the camp with another small group of young travellers like ourselves and made friends with them. The guides set up everything very nicely for us while we got to explore the area and chill at the bonfire in the meantime. Dinner at the desert camp, or "Restaurant White Desert" as they called it, was fantastic! Grilled chicken over bonfire was some of the best meal I ate in my 3 weeks in Egypt! Some programme at the camp would've been nice, but it was also okay to just chill. I forgot his name, but our guide told that the big tent was reserved for his customers only (us), so if we want to stay there instead of the other group, we can. We were happy to sleep in the smaller tents instead, but appreciate the gesture. Everything was handled very professionally and the guides were super friendly and helpful! P. S. I STRONGLY recommend sleeping under the stars. You won't get much colder than in the tent, and the starry sky at late night and sunrise in early morning when you open your eyes is stunning! It's sooo worth it! The blankets, mattresses and sleeping bags are really warm and comfy. Book with Egypt Desert Dunes and you won't regret it 😎Posted on Tripadvisor Simon CVerified Top egyptian desert adventure Absolutely incredible adventure with Mohamed ! Good food, unreal landscape and true egyptian vibe !! We really enjoyed it and definitly recommend.Posted on Tripadvisor MeyesVerified Séjour parfait ! Séjour au top, Mohamed est très amical et connaît parfaitement la région. Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour privé en couple. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié (et rigolé 🤣) merci encore 👌Posted on Tripadvisor LaiaVerified Brutal! Espectacular experiencia en el desierto blanco! No solo por lo maravilloso que es el lugar sino por lo bien cuidada que me he sentido, los chicos son divertidos y atentos. Estoy segura que repetiré! Enamoran!🥰Posted on Tripadvisor Helen CasanovasVerified Mágica aventura en el fascinante Desierto Blanco Hemos vivido una maravillosa experiencia en todoterreno por el mágico Desierto Blanco. Una experiencia única con expertos y profesionales que conocen palmo a palmo este desierto, cuyos variados y cambiantes paisajes te dejan sin palabras. Son pacientes, te cuidan y cocinan una comida sabrosa increíble. Disfruta del silencio de las noches estrelladas alrededor del fuego. ¡Una experiencia que recomiendo 100%!Posted on Tripadvisor GemasTravelSecretsVerified A LIFETIME ADVENTURE with Real Desert Experts Look no further! Egypt Desert Dunes are the REAL DEAL. They’ll take you to an UNFORGETTABLE ever changing off-road experience in the White Desert. It’s ran by EXPERT Beduins who know and respect nature. They’ll stop at all the best spots for you. They are patient, work super hard to please you & cook amazing tasty food. Sshhh…Be amazed by probably the best dates in the world, which grow in their oasis. Stay at least three days in the desert to appreciate the multiple magical landscapes and enjoy the stary nights around the fire. Book with Mohammed NOW!Posted on Tripadvisor na_ni_022018Verified Magical desert adventure! A magical three days! Mustafa and Ahmed are not just skilled guides, they are the most thoughtful and kind people. While we packed a lot of activity into three days, we never once felt rushed or frantic. Everything was beautifully paced. They picked the most amazing spots for us to explore and to sleep under the stars. They know the desert and how to navigate it. Mustafa and Ahmed had everything we might have needed: snacks, water, sleeping bags, extra blankets. We had what was one of our most memorable and delicious meals, cooked by our guides on a camp stove. This followed by music and dancing around a campfire and under a nearly full moon. Then a deep, peaceful sleep in the cozy tent they set up for us. This is no out-of-the-box tour. Guides will cater to your needs (e.g., delicious vegetarian meals), abilities, and interests. We would do this again without hesitation and probably for longer than three days next time. Book a trip with Egypt Desert Dunes -- you will be happy you did!Posted on Tripadvisor SarahVerified Incredible and amazing experience - A must do! What a great experience! We will never forget this. Two nights and three days in the desert. So much to see with the terrain changing from the black desert through to the white desert with stops at the crystal mountain (my favourite!), the Karaween dunes for sandboarding (my kids favorite), the magic springs (and seeing the remains of a Roman soldier we think!) and many other sights. Excellent driving, relaxing times, wide open spaces, starry nights, campfire chats and the best was the Bedouin-style tent and camping equipment. We were very comfortable and cosy. Our guides Mustafa and Hany catered to our needs so graciously and kindly and cooked wonderfully tasty meals for us! Even a little fox came to get some of the barbecue chicken! Highly recommend this a once in a lifetime opportunity! We hope to do another trip soon as so much to see still and experience. Thank you Mustafa and Hany for the amazing trip!Posted on Tripadvisor LaurenVerified Unbelievable experience We LOVED our adventure with Egypt Desert Dunes. They communicate everything very clearly so you know where you are going, what you will be doing, and all of the logistics. They also take care of everything - our driver from Cairo to the desert was wonderful and the car was comfortable and clean and then we had lunch and changed to our 4wd car with our two hosts and started the adventure. They brought plenty of snacks, water, and had a ton of information to share with us about the desert. Our camp set up was amazing. Again, our guides took car of everything - cooking dinner, setting up the tents, cooking breakfast and then taking down the tents for the journey home. The camping was very comfortable and the desert is so peaceful. I would absolutely recommend Egypt Desert Dunes to anyone looking to visit the white and black desert. They have other tours to Siwa as well. We will definitely meet our guides again!
