Best tour operator! On a long trip to Egypt, I tried many for various activities, but Sun Pyramid is unbeatable. 24/7 assistance (Noura in particular helped me with precision and clarity in all bookings, helping me understand the tours well and explaining the differences, being always available even late at night), unparalleled quality-price ratio (always top-notch services for very low prices), knowledgeable guides, with perfect English, and attentive to every little need (especially Mustafa for the trip to the Bahariya Oasis). Thank you so much!

Actually I had 4DAYS trip to white desert plus airport transfers and one tailored day in Cairo. ....So: I was pleasantly surprised, that everything was completed exactly as I wanted and as was promised, even I had my doubts. There was a moment when I did not get feedback to my questions, so I was a bit nervous. No reason! all worked well. Great drivers, nice guide(s), just amazing landscapes, driving in dunes. . Only bad memory: night in a Black desert. It was supposed to be "night to remember", but it was "a night to forget". It was chilly, mattresses in tent were not very hygienic and not even soft and blankets not very "inviting", so I was awake whole night. Why? Maybe there should be an alternative option? Nobody seemed to be thrilled, except guides. but otherwise: everything was done smoothly and in time. Liked it a lot in general. Other services like transfers: perfect! Cairo tour: perfect, as I tailored it myself.
Fabulous experience. The oasis is interesting and deserts are amazing. The tour worked well from the pick up in Giza to our arrival in Luxor. Our driver, Abdul, in the desert was very professional and funny and very efficient at setting up the camp and preparing meals and brewing up tea at any moment anywhere. The guide, Mohammed, although still somewhat inexperienced, was very attentive to make sure we had everything we needed. The other drivers (from Giza to Bahariya and from there to Luxor were also first class. The hotel in Bawati was also fine, if relatively basic. The desert is just do awe-inspiring.
We did 5 days Siwa and Bahariya oasis tour with Mohab Elattmany. He was the best guide among our Egypt tour guides. He knows everything about Egypt (He has degrees for egytology) and is also a very responsible person. Even when he had a kind of food poisoning during the tour, he always took care of us with a smile. And of course our driver Nasser and Younis were good and professional. Siwa, bahariya, dessert, some historic sites and so on... Every moment of the tour was fantastic.(Well sometimes our guide explained too much ) Highly recommended!!
A wonderful experience worth living. All very well organised. Kamalito gave us very good explanations making us relive what happened millennia ago. The driver of the 4x4 makes you live the desert!
The tour provides a unique experience of the desert. Our guide Mohab Ahmed is extremely friendly and very open, also with my teenager children – we often exchanged about the different world views in Egypt and in Europe. The driver Folley Sahara is also friendly, and very competent, we had a great time driving through sand dunes. The stay in Baharya in Qasr El Bawity hotel was very nice, and of course camping in the desert two nights also (we did a 3 nights, 4 days trip). Altogether there is not a lot of things to see or do, it's mainly driving, stopping for 10-20 minutes to check some landscape, and go further. It could have been a plus if there had been a clear activity: climb the hill, check a couple of stone formations, etc. It was mainly up to us to decide what to do (which is not always an easy task with kids :-)). The scheduling was not ideal in my mind, with a late start at 9h30 on the second day for a very long day with 4+ hours in the car, while there was almost nothing to do on the third day. This was due to the apparent closing of the white desert night camping for a few weeks. The price was the best I found after asking 3-4 operators. Altogether a great experience!
If you have the chance to spend two days on this desert experience, I highly recommend it! It is an adventure that will remain in the heart. The people I met are wonderful: Omar, our guide who spoke Italian was very kind answered all our questions; our driver, whom I call Sun because I do not know how to spell it in Arabic, took us to the desert with great ease and made us live a unique experience. He was also an excellent driver, cook and camp organizer. The places visited are surreal and wonderful, a true spectacle of nature. The food they offered us was delicious and the journey, although long and full of many hours by car, is absolutely worth it! It is an experience that I recommend to those who want to discover incredible landscapes and live unforgettable moments in the desert. Thanks again guys, we will carry you in our hearts!
A great experience and adventure together with the Mido guide who showed me the whole area of the Oasis and deserts and made me feel like a real Bedouin. I would repeat again
My mom and I had an amazing experience with the beautiful landscapes we could see. Egypt has amazing and wonderful nature! Our guide was very friendly and the whole time he was watching us and as were the super friendly and reliable drivers. We highly recommend this tour! 🤩
The night in the desert was a great experience! We enjoyed sharing with our guide Abdou and our driver!
Hire a 4-day tour of the oasis of al fayoum, bahariya, black and white desert. My guide mohamed mussad was very friendly from the first moment. He speaks Spanish very well, communicated with me before the trip and helped me and kept company at all times. Even when my data card stopped working, he let me use his wifi whenever I needed until he could help me fix the problem 🤗 He also made me a photographer, taught me how to write my name in Arabic, learned the numbers 😆 and was a nice company 🙏. The only thing that disappointed me was that we couldn’t make the 4x4 tour through the black and white desert and neither could the camping. The company did not communicate this at the time of hiring and did not know anything until the very moment of the visit. We saw only a few places on the road in the white desert and camped in a desert area near Bahariya where we also did Sunboarding. The experience was good, but it was not what was on offer in the Tour.
An exciting 4 days (3 nights) tour that allowed us to admire the variety of landscapes of the western desert with wonders such as the whale valley, the black desert, the white desert, the crystal mountain, the Baharya oasis and much more. A magical experience full of colors, flavors and strong feelings! Beautiful locations for the nights, the last of which in a tent in the desert. The best thing about the tour was our Guide Abdulrahman who made our experience exceptional with his sympathy and skill. One of the most beautiful moments to remember in our beautiful trip to Egypt
I visited Egypt alone for the first time in my life this year. When I first met Mohab Ahmed in Giza, I immediately felt safe and welcome. A very sympathetic and intelligent guide! The tour was great, especially good I noticed the service while eating (very delicious, lots and varied), also the accommodations or tents were top. The route led into the middle of the white and black desert and also into the Baharyia Oasis. Everything has been very nice, you were left alone in the meantime, which I liked a lot, because you can concentrate more on the landscape. I saw everything I wanted to see. The changing drivers Younis and Ewagaa also did a great job, especially in the dunes. Communication in advance went through Aya Gamal, who was also always friendly and responded quickly. Very good service:) All in all, I can only recommend this tour, I actually didn't notice anything negative. Or as they say in Germany: you can't complain ;)
It was a wonderful experience. The views and scenarios we have witnessed are breathtaking. Sometimes I wondered if I was on another planet. Our driver Shaban, whom I thank very much, gave us a lot of fun on jeep excursions in the desert, took care of the camping and cooked food for us (as well as delicious Arabic tea). Special thanks go to our Ahmed. We had chosen the Italian language option and he was perfect in this for us. He accompanied us throughout our journey, we learned so much about Egyptian culture thanks to him, and he was always kind and at our side, to the point of becoming our friend more than just a guide. Choose this tour.
The experience of spending a night in the desert is amazing. The 4x4 route through the different parts of the desert is also beautiful and very fun. Our Guide Mohamed Hussein explained everything we were seeing and our driver Ayadi is an SUV (driver, cook, singer and camp builder). Highly recommended!
It was a wonderful experience. Without a doubt the best of the entire trip to Egypt. Mohamed made us feel like part of his family. I will repeat for sure
Wonderful experience. Perfect organization. Sleeping comfortably in the desert in a tent has its merits. The food is simple but very good. Perfect punctuality and transportation. And above all, the people who guide you, welcoming friends on a trip. Totally recommended.
A friend and I took the 3-day tour to the white desert and we loved it. The desert is beautiful and there are impressive places. Furthermore, having the opportunity to sleep with the stars as a roof in a place without light is truly amazing. Our guide Mohamed, very friendly and close. He explained everything we saw to us and answered any questions about Egyptian culture. He even took photos for us! The only downside perhaps to the excursion is that two days would be enough to live the experience, but if you don't want to get beaten up from Cairo and sleep in a typical hotel in the area the second night is also fine. Totally recommended.
The deserts are spectacular. If you have time, go see them. They went with us Mostafa and Muhmut (driver) and they are very nice. The best guides we've had on the whole trip! If you are going to book it in Spanish, ask that it be Mostafa who goes with you 😉
