Wonderful experience! It is the most incredible scenery in the oasis! Well worth the drive out there, which is long. It’s a lot of driving over the 2 days but completely worth it. The stops are incredible and the experiences with the Bedouins is a lovely addition. Our guide Osama was absolutely lovely and helped make our 2 days fabulous.

Amazing experience, I recommend it, unique spot, black and white desert, sleeping and the stars is top top, drivers and our guide take care of us, never forget it
The white desert excursion was a really good experience. Good vibes especially spend a night in the tent and wake up in the desert with sunshine. We recommend this experience.
We had an amazing tour with our guide Yousef and driver Ahmed! It was incredible service and a beautiful trip. We visited so many locations and Yousef was very knowledgeable on each of the stops, letting us stay as long as we wanted to explore. The camp was a once in a lifetime experience, with live music, a delicious barbecue and comfortable tent set up by our guides. The stargazing at night was unmissable. We can’t thank them enough and would highly recommend Sun Pyramids Tours☀️
I took the tour with our friendly guide Yosef and our great driver Shaaban. It was great to see the majestic desert scenery! It was a great experience!
It was an amazing tour in the black and white desert with our driver Ahmed and our guide Al-ghalban 👍 A lot of explanations and Ahmed is a really good driver, who loves to share is way of life. I recommended them if you want to enjoy this trip !
It was really wonderful camp!!💕Our guide Mohab Ahmed is awesome. He is smart and funny. We enjoyed talking with him, and laughed a lot! So precious time. Our driver in the dessert, Abduh is calm and warm and good at cooking. Driving techniques were great and it was fun. His food was really delicious. Hamada is the driver in Cairo was good at driving. We felt safe in the car! Everything was wonderful and so much fun! 最高のキャンプでした!! 最高のガイドさん、ドライバーさんたちでとっても素敵な時間でした。話すのもとても楽しかったです。 ガイドのMohabは英語ガイドさんですが、日本の漫画やアニメも好きで、日本についてもお話できてとても嬉しかったです。たくさんおしゃべりして、たくさん笑いました! 本当に楽しいキャンプでした。ありがとう!
We had a great time, the food was amazing (also vegetarian food), the guide (Mohamed) was with us like if it was part of our family, having a great time together. The driver (Ahmed) in the desert has a lot of expirience and also he is always paying attention to what he is doing. Giving us details which we are not going to forget. A nice and perfect group. We recomended 100% for the people that wants to relax and explore new things. Also if I could I would take the trip of 3 days. Thank you
I had found hard to decide to go or not to go for this trip. Finally six of our family(2 grandparents, two adults and two kids) decided to go. They were on time to pick us up from Cairo hotel. Kamelito our guide spoke good English. After 4 hours driving we arrived in the oasis. It was a little bit scary and the food didn’t seemed good. But it was really tasty and we met our Bedouin drivers. After having delicious lunch we started the adventure. From the first minute to the last it was a miracle. The places, the activity, the panorama were amazing. Also the hospitality of the guide and the drivers. We had a nice campsite in the desert and could have nice diner made by drivers. We felt safe and had nice camping in the desert. All of us had fantastic time
Best tour ever!!! Moha ( guide) and Hemeda (driver) took us to the most beautiful place we have ever seen. They are very kind and patient. The Egyptian food was a great experience. They cooked for us in the Middle of the desert and tough me to play the drums. After dinner we sang and play some musical instruments in front of the bonfire. The white desert is unbelievable!!! 100% recommended. Moha and Hemeda thank you guys.
The best experience to finish our trip in Egypt. Mohamed was an excellent guide, he showed us the best places in the desert, we tasted the real Beduin food, he gave to us details information about everything, definitely, he was the best guy we could have chosen in Egypt. To sleep in the middle of the desert was one of the most incredible things we have ever done
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 today’s 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…
The excursion was very well organized. Our spanish guide Mohamed was very good and friendly with us. We recommend it!
Very good trip. The visit and the night in the white desert were just amazing. Mona, our guide who spoke French, was very kind. Thanks to her and thanks to sun pyramids.
Wonderful experience that will forever remain in our heart. A huge thank you to our guide Omar Saeed who explained and showed us the beauty of the desert. Very nice person, truely, competent and always caring to our needs. Thanks again Omar!
fantastic experience, everything well organised, wonderful locals, the guide Giunis is exceptional, a very special person
One of my most cherished memories of Egypt. Had a private tour as a solo female with lovely guide Mohab, who was very kind, informative and looked after me well. We stopped at two beduin villages, black and white deserts. Alien landscapes, like being on the moon. Sand boarding was definitely a highlight… and so was the sunset dinner cooked by our beduin guide before sleeping under the stars. 10/10
I did several tours with this company I cannot say enough good things Ahmed “Santiago” booked all my events and made sure I was very well taken care of I even thought I left my phone on the tour bus and he chased the bus for nearly a mile only for me to find out my phone was in my luggage. My tour guides were very knowledgeable about the sights I saw there were a few as I took more than one excursion so I can’t remember them all but it was definitely a wonderful experience one for the books I will definitely contact them again if and when I visit Egypt again
Went on this tour excited to see a completely different world from the bustling streets of Cairo, and boy was I in for a treat. Our driver Miguel was quiet at first but turned out to be an incredibly charismatic and funny companion that we’re never going to forget. The trip itself was really flexible. You can go to the black desert, Agabad valley, crystal mountain, Bahariya oasis, and white desert (but you can skip some if you’d like). I would recommend skipping just crystal mountain because it’s nothing more than a few tiny hills with crystalline formations visible only up close, but the rest of the places were amazing. The white desert is a fitting finale to the trip. The sky is ridiculously clear and free of light pollution and my friend and I stayed up all night to stargaze and walk around the white desert which is just a perfectly comfortable temperature in the fall. At nightfall we had a hearty dinner that Miguel made for us. with what little Arabic I knew and what little English he knew, we still managed to make a beautiful connection and even crack jokes. After dinner we joined the other groups around campfires and listened to them play Bedouin music and dance around the fire. The drive back after overnight camping was sobering even though we were excited about the rest of the trip. I have no idea if you get to have your choice of drivers but if you do, I highly recommend Miguel. I know he’s too humble to put himself on the spot so I’m happy to do it for him. The only major spot in Egypt I didn’t get to go to was Alexandria and I have to say this was definitely one of my top 2 activities here!
We had a great time seeing the white desert, black desert with lunch and dinner. It was a great day out and we saw everything that we wanted to see. We managed to do this tour in a day and they were very accommodating
good experiences & many Thanks for more service. Best trip for me & my friend I will nominate you to all my friends
we have a 2 days 1 night to white desert and bahariya oasis with sun pyramids tours and it was the bedt camp in my life recommend
The two-day trip to the desert was an unforgettable experience thanks to our guide Omaar who made it possible for us to enjoy every moment, and the whole team that prepared everything. Thanks for these unforgettable days!!
Beautiful and unforgettable experience, organized in the best way possible, also thanks to Madonna's help. Absolutely recommended
Omar was an excellent guide; we loved the experience, felt very safe, and enjoyed delicious food. Thank you very much.
Best experience I've ever had. A dream come true and all thanks to our amazing guide Mostafa and the staff that took us to the desert. Food was fabulous, campfire, shisha, music, stars... EVERYTHING WAS BEAUTIFUL The truth was sad to say goodbye was an unforgettable night and I only have to highly recommend this experience. Mostafa Gold Vouchers 🪙
Of all our time in Egypt, this tour was absolutely the best thing that could happen to us. We loved the scenery, the amazing views, the stars at night, the hikes and, above all, the amazing guides. We felt safe and everything was very clear. Thank you to Mostafa, the best guide, for making this trip so fun and unique. We would return a thousand times to repeat this experience. Thank you so much for everything!
A superb experience with a very good organization from Hoda Beautiful landscapes in this exceptional desert Very nice evening with musicians and very good meal
The activity was great, very well organized, the guide Mohamed Italiano was very friendly and speaks very good Spanish. The chauffeurs are also very friendly. Dinner in the desert was very rich and abundant and the sleeping tent very comfortable. Definitely a hit.
This experience is my most beautiful discovery in Egypt. Everything was perfect, the Mood, the different surprises in the desert, the care, the meals... and all this was thanks to our guide Youssef and the driver of the Jeep. I loved Youssef who is helpful, attentive and naturally kind. He immediately put us at ease and acted like a friend and not a guide. It was just perfect. Thank you to all the team who gave everything to offer us a great adventure. I will never forget those moments. Chahida de Mayotte ☺️😆🥰
Spectacular and unique experience! You will visit magical places. You can sing, dance, dine and sleep under a blanket of stars. Also surf in the sand and ride in the desert in 4x4. 100% recommended
We chose this tour in the white desert of 2 days and one night. It was clearly one of our best experiences. The landscapes are splendid. The driver was adorable and brought us to the most beautiful spots, his cuisine was also very good. As for our guide, Abdel was great from A to Z. Full of good advice, passionate and especially very funny. We recommend 1000%
Fully recommended experience, thanks to the accompaniment of the guide Mohamed "the Italian" and the drivers, all very friendly and professional. Undoubtedly, better than the pyramids of Giza, they are unique, unforgettable places that are engraved on your retina and you do not want to forget. You've been fabulous, alone in the desert... Thank you, thank you, thank you!
For these two days in the desert accompanied by al-ghalban (guide) and medo, we enjoyed wonderful views. The white desert, the black desert, the crystal mountains, the sunset and sunrise over the desert as well as the camp to sleep have changed our scenery! The meals were very rich and local! Thanks again to the drivers and our French guide who gave us complete information on the culture and formation of deserts!
A unique experience, highly recommended. The guide Muhammed Italiano🇮🇹🇪🇸 and the driver (cook, tent pitcher, musician..) Ahmed are two wonderful people who have made me enjoy the journey to the fullest.
We enjoyed the magnificent nature of the White Desert, Black Desert and Crystal Mountain. It was my first time driving a four-wheel-drive Jeep through deserts, rocky places, and rough roads, and it was like an amusement park attraction. Notes: ・There are only 2-3 restrooms you can stop by in a day, so it is a good idea to check the toilet points · Camping so you cannot take a shower on the day · It is cold at night, so long sleeves and downs are necessary The experience of camping in the vast desert is unique. Thanks to Yousif, our guide, and Refet, our driver.
The time was right and we could see many different forms of desert. It was a wonderful experience to eat desert history and oasis village food. The setting sun was so wonderful, it was almost as if you could reach it.
Exceptional outing both on landscapes and on human encounters, I highly recommend! We have nothing to lack!
Extraordinary experience with incredible scenery. Impression of being on another planet Our Guide ~Muhammad Al-ghalban was very professional. He speaks very good French and was very helpful. Activity to do necessarily when coming to Egypt
We did the two-day tour in the White Desert. We had Mohamed as our guide. Very good Guide and attentive in everything. He explained everything about the desert and we had a great time together, with the family, seeing a lesser known part of Egypt. It took us through the different deserts and areas of the Bahariya oasis and White Desert. And also highlight the Bedouin who came with us who made a dinner of 10 and an entertaining drive through the desert. Great experience.
Everything perfect with Mohamed Hussein!! He taught us some amazing sites and many things about the culture of the country. He was very attentive to us.
Amazing experience with totally different places than we knew. Very grateful to Mostafa the Guide in perfect Spanish with whom we have had very good times. The best food we had in Egypt. In short. A highly recommended tour.
The experience has been positive. Our guide Mohamed Hussein very friendly and attentive. We would repeat the desert without a doubt!
It was great, the guide and the drivers were very kind. We had a great time with my friend (we are 2 young women). The guide Al-ghalban has us everything and was great. Thank you very much!
We are 4 young women and booked a two-day desert getaway and we were accompanied by Muhammad Al-ghalban who was a pleasant, dynamic and very warm welcome, he was keen to show us every corner of the desert and take the time to capture these precious moments. The evening was even more beautiful alongside the driver/cook and our guide. The prepared food was simply divine , tea brewed by the fire ended this evening on a sweet and sweet note. It is also an opportunity for cultural sharing. The choice is offered to sleep in a tent or under the stars we recommend the second option to admire the sky and its shooting stars. Another big thank you to Muhammad Al-ghalban.
We spent these two days with our French Guide Mohamed Hatem Al Ghalban. Those two days were wonderful. We ate extremely well and took full view of it. The children also loved this outing. One night under the stars. A wonderful experience that we recommend to all.
The experience has far exceeded our expectations! It is very well organized from beginning to end. You make several stops and they adapt to your needs and pace. Moha has been our guide and has made it an even better experience, a charming, polite boy who loves his job. The driver Alaa was also charming, fun and prepared a delicious dinner for us! Without a doubt highly recommended, we are delighted!!!
Very good excursion with everything planned and prepared. Our guide Mohaned Osama speaks Spanish very well and we were also able to learn much more about Egyptian customs and society. Very good drivers.
Al-ghalban is a good guide and interpreter in French. Well organized stay, the landscapes were magnificent. It was a total change of scenery. The driver was good. Very good Egyptian meal, in the evening in the desert, prepared on site, a delight. Complete calm. I recommend the place as well as the guide.
Amazing tour!! A really good tour, our guide Mohammed (Moha) was really friendly and pleasant as was the jeep driver, Hemeda (very skilled at driving) who was also a cook and played instruments. Everyone very respectful and kind. This tour has landscapes and experiences that will remain in your memory forever. White desert, black desert, Crystal Mountain, the campsite, the hotel, among others. Really 100% recommended!!
