Private Day Tour To White Desert And Bahariya Oasis

We knew going in that this was a long tour (16 hrs, about 4 hrs each way between Cairo and Bahariya, then about 8 hrs in the desert with a lot of driving between sites. The vehicles were quite comfortable though. The desert was amazing, and the Bedouin House hospitality where we had breakfast and lunch was great. The tour guide barely spoke to us to/from Bahariya, and was unable to answer some questions. He was attentive and took the time to point out interesting things at the various stops on the 4WD tour in the desert though, hence the 4/5 vs 5/5 star rating. Overall this tour was well worth doing if, like us, you are mainly interested in the desert scenery and accept the long drive(s).

I truly enjoyed the whole organization of the trip. The guests were so kind and experienced and whole adventure was really well-organized. We have spent a good time in a black and white desert

It was always a dream to come to Egypte and experience the nature and history. Thanks to Karim and Mido my dream came true today. They showed me the most beautiful landscapes in the white and black desert. Some views were surrealistic, like i was on an other planet. In the car we talked about Egyptian culture and have a good laugh. It was one of the best days of my life. Thanks you all!

Amazing experience in the white desert! It was a great tour and fantastically organised and coordinated by our guide Mohamed Italiano! He was taking care of us and speaks a perfect Spanish. Totally recommended.

Very nice tour to the beautiful desert. Guide Hamad Sayed was very friendly and took a lot of photos of us, even climbed the mountains with me. Drivers Mido Ashour and Ahmed Samir were professionals, so we felt safe and even could take some nap in the morning trip to the desert. Driver stopped at the desert whenever we wanted and we had enough time for everything. Very good tour overall.

The tour experience was negatively impacted by very poor coordination between Sun Pyramid Tours and the local operator. – we arrived early to Bahariya, only to wait at the compaund with nothing to do/see until nearly noon, then a rushed drive to get to White Desert and back to the oasis before dark… Both drivers (to/from Cairo & in the desert) were EXCELLENT, doing their very best, but the tour itinerary, as advertised, takes at least six hours in Bahariya/White Dessert to complete in best circumstances, and with the late start in Bahariya we had less than five hours available. No one was really in charge. The guide (otherwise a very nice young man) did not seem to have yet much experience with the area, so he could not help navigating the tight schedule. Food – nice kebab, the rest mediocre, there must be better choices at Bahariya – which I did not get the chance to see AT ALL besides the local tour company compound. Also, “exploring” Black Desert = only a five-minute stop, and no time left to see El Hez village. In summary the White Desert is well worh of a day visit, but Sun Pyramid Tours does not have the professional competence to organize and execute what has been promised - just pocketed the commission and dropped the ball. When I complained, I was promised an explanation, none has arrived despite reminders. Go, but book the tour elsewhere.

Frst of all spectacular landscape on the white and black desert, a lot of fun on sandboard, uncredible sky at night time. Our jeep driver did amaizing job. He gave us the best drive, made a great dinner, prepared a camp, he did everything by himself. Camp was basic and very simple but it was a great experience. You should be prepare for cold night and no facilites. The weakness piont of this tour was our guide. He was sleeping during the both ways to Cairo all the time, on the way to desert as well. He seems very bored and tried to avoid the contact. Small thing but he gave us a tent with broken zip so we could not to close it and it was very cold at night at the same time the guide chose for himself the perfect tent. I was thinking we didn't need the guide at all becouse all job was done by the jeep driver. Don't expect too much from the hot and cold springs, this place is more to show you desert springs than a place for bathing or swimming. I did only 4 stars becouse of the guide.

I enjoy the day tour so much at the last day of September. The car is so comfortable and reach the hotel picking us up on time. The tour guide is so nice and explains the schedule so well. Even we have to catch the flight at the midnight and want the tour finished earlier than scheduled, our guide is so willing to help and arrange the way back to our hotel at the expected time. This tour to the desert surprised us so much especially the white desert. The rocks look exactly like ice cream and overall this is a very special experience.

Trip is fun..but very tiring.. each and every dessert is mesmerizing. It is longer than the time it says ... but super fun ride. They also take us to bedouin village where you'll have breakfast and lunch.. super fun experience

I had a great time on this tour. The food was excellent, the sites were beautiful, the drivers were very good and the tour guide was the best.

Our day tour to the Black and White Deserts was simply amazing and our best trip so far in Egypt. The landscapes we saw left us speechless and willing to camp for several days in the desert to have a more extensive experience. The lovely day we had was only possible because of the nice people from Sun Pyramids we interacted with to organize the tour. Ahmed Atef helped us put together the tour in the smoothest way possible. He has been super fast in replying since the first moment I reached out to him and remained always available to respond with kindness to the several questions I had. He checked on how our day was going during the tour and that was beautiful. Our guide Magdy was extremely nice and polite. He picked up perfectly on time and made us feel comfortable the whole time. He gave us the time we needed to see everything and took pictures of us. He was the best touring company we had so far. Hasan, our driver towards and back from the desert made us feel safe on the street when going and coming back and let us have a day tour that respected the times we were said it would last. Hameda, our driver into the desert made us experience the beauty of those landscapes in a special way, and gave us a lovely music atmosphere the whole time. The food prepared by the Beduine House family in the Oasis of Bahariya was rich and delicious. Thank you guys for your availability, politeness, kindness and most importantly for taking care of us in such a perfect way. You really made us have a unique experience and we are so glad for this. It felt like a day trip with friends although we had never met any of you before. We have a wonderful memory of this day and you are the ones that made it possible. Thank you so so so much. We are planning to come to Egypt again and we will definitely book with Sun Pyramids again :)

The black and white deserts were incredible places to visit and appreciate the natural beauty of the landscape and landforms. Our guide, Mido, was super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. He even took pictures for us to capture the moment with great poses!

I wish I could have stayed another night! The desert, the star gazing, food, and the tour guide made this trip amazing. Don't come to Egypt to see the pyramids; try to see more, and I would suggest this tour.

The driver and tour guide were good! I had such a unique experience and I loved everything about the tour. Long, but it’s worth it.

The trip was organized very professionally and met our expectations in 100%. A private, comfortable car arrived punctually at the indicated address, where our guide Mohamed introduced us to the program and we set off on a 4-hour drive to the oasis. Breakfast and Bedouin tea were waiting for us on the spot, and we also had the opportunity to cool off in the water in the middle of the desert! Then we moved to an off-road vehicle and after an hour we reached the White Desert, where we had the opportunity to admire the unusual rock formations, then we saw the Agabat Valley, tried sandboarding and on the way back we saw the Crystal Mountain and the Black Desert. After returning to the oasis, a very tasty dinner was waiting for us and we went back. The whole thing took us 16 hours. Our guide Mohamed, who had great knowledge about the desert, answered all our questions in the most friendly way, deserves the greatest praise. Thank you Mo for your patience and understanding! I sincerely recommend this tour and this guide - you will not be disappointed!

The White Desert trip was well delivered by the sales team, tour guide and drivers/cooks. Having looked at many trips, I made the mistake of booking a day trip, which Nada (sales) and Sabir (guide) changed to an overnight trip for what was a very readable extra fee of $20 per head. We visited white and black deserts and Chrystal mountain on the first day and camped overnight in the black desert. This gave us a chance to see it in the setting sun as well as in the first hour or more after sunrise. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that, the guide, Sabir, was given the wrong phone number to contact me and didn’t seem to have my name until he phoned the office to clarify that we were his clients. In this respect, the operations team seamed less effective and efficient compared with the sales team. If this hadn’t happened, I would have happily given them a 5 star rating.

This was probably our favorite activity of the trip. It's a long day going to the White Desert from Giza, but well worth the time. The desert is beautiful and unique, and February was a great time to go. I can't imagine how uncomfortable it would have been in summer! Our guide, though only 23, was the best we had on the entire trip. His English and enthusiasm were more than we could have wished for. The driver did a great job as well.

What an incredible experience! The scenary was breathtaking, the food at the oasis was authentic and delicious, the transportation was good and I really enjoyed the fun ride on the sand. Our tour guide Mohab was exceptional, knowledgeable, friendly, and really nice to talk to. The tour operator was very kind to accommodate a request that we made last minute due to circumstances out of our control, they were lovely and very responsive. Highly recommended

I had an incredible one-day trip to the White Desert with Mohamed Italiano. Everything was perfectly organized, from the transportation to the delicious meals. Mohamed is knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience unforgettable with his stories and attention to detail. The scenery was breathtaking, especially the sunset over the unique rock formations. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Egypt!

Wonderful people, safe drive, and great adventures at vast dessert. And a lot of options in terms of language. 日本語ガイドでしたが、素敵なガイドさんでとても楽しい時間になりました。

absolutely stunning tour where you will love for sure the desert, the sunset, the stars above and the kind and profesional people who worked for us. We travelled with our already friend Mohamed, he is so lovely and speaks a perfect spanish. Gracias por todo Moha!

Excellent tour of the Sahara Desert! Mohab was a great, enthusiastic and informative guide. Mahmoud, Younis, and Terek were great drivers too and from the desert and offroad in the desert.

Baharia oasis, white & Black desert was out all day tour with young tour guide Jusif. He gave us a lot of information during the tour with him. He is really great young boy. We sugest him to all tourist in Cairo and in the area around the capital of Egypt on english & japanese. Long time you spent in the car so it is better to take 2 days trip to desert from Cairo, and overnite in desert under the stars.

4x4 was not delivered as promised. Guides made up excuses and kept driving on the highway showing the parks from the side of the road

Thanks to our tour guide Mohab, we could have a unforgettable memory. His way of guide is kind, polite and respectful. Moreover he has outstanding knowledge of the Egyptian history. So we could learn not only desert but the history. Regarding both black and white deserts, they are splendid. Being surrounded by only desert must make you feel nature and wild!

What a terrific we had with Mohab as our guide and drivers Hesham and Alaa. Since it was a private tour we were able to get to know Mohab a bit and learned a lot about life in Egypt. The deserts were beautiful and so strange, almost alien like, and HOT! My phone kept saying it needed to cool down hahah. Highly recommend this company for more tours. Thank you Mohab, and hope to meet again!

We returned for the second time to experience a unique moment in this fascinating white desert ! The National Park offers breathtaking scenery and views that can’t be seen anywhere else. And the team is in charge of making your experience a life time memory. The dedication, kindness and professionalism of everyone makes this trip a fantastic experience. We would like to address our special thanks to Mohab, Shaban, Mahmoud and Hassan…. we will see you again !

We have had a lot of good moments with the guide, Abdelrahman, a kind sweet person with a big hearth and a wonderfull italian speach. We have seen a lot of amazing place, tasted flavorfull food in a nice beduin style home.

Sun Pyramids Tours have twice proven timely, efficient, comprehensive, engaging and fun. In April of 2024 two of us visited the Bahariya Oasis, Black Desert, Crystal Mountain, a mineral spring and several highlights of the White Desert. Mohab was our guide on an over day excursion that lasted about 12 hours. I mentioned comprehensive because he was gracious and kind enough to explain highlights of Cairo while commuting through town. He also covered topics of General Egyptian knowledge. If I get the opportunity, I will use Sun Pyramids Tours again.

We went with our guide Kamalito to Bahariya oasis and was amazing! From the start till the end, unforgetable experience. I recomend It!

We got best experience ever! Bare ground landscape made us feel like the earth itself. Our guide Mohab and driver was so friendly and hospitable!

We will remember this place for the rest of our life!! It was an amazing experience far from the chaotic tourist sites. Our guide Saif was very kind, he took us many pictures! We would recommend this tour.

It was an early start at 6am and from start to finish it was a brilliant trip. Our guide Mohab made the whole day exciting and gave us all the information we needed and more. We saw many exciting attractions on this trip and the views were spectacular. The white desert was beautiful and we were given the facts about their history and how they were formed. We were also very lucky to have authentic Egyptian food which was so tasty. We have already discussed our next trip with Mohab and how we want to come back and stay in the white desert.

I went to the Black and White Desert today, and the scenery was out-of-this-world amazing! The driver and guide did superb jobs!!

Hello Ijust want to say it has beeen one of the beat experience for me and my wife Muhamed Hussein is a great guide and person ALSO the guide and chofer of the desert Keep this kind of person at your staff Amigos The guíde ( Mohamed Hussein) is expert spanish guide , explain so Good with all Knowledge and very kind I recomend 100% and if you visit Egipt you MUST do it .

Adboo picked us up from our hotel exactly on time. His english was great which enabled us to chat through him to all of the locals in Baharia oasis. Highly recommend this tour if you want to get a feel for what the “country side” of egypt is like. Even though it is in the middle of the desert Baharia oasis is extremely green and beautiful with the most amazing Mangos and Dates if you go in the summer. There was also a cold pool which we got a chance to swim in on the second day which was great. The desert itself was incredible with very diverse landscapes and we got a chance to sleep right under the stars. Overall a must do when you go to Egypt. The culture of the people there is completely different to anywhere else in Egypt and the landscape is truely something to behold.

The deserts are beautiful and definitely worth seeing. Be prepared for about 8 hours in the car throughout the day. Our guides Abdo Samy, Hassan, and Mohamed were all kind. We tried sand boarding and the family at the local restaurant was extremely kind to us as well.

Incredible! They were very thoughtful and nice. The experiencie is amazing. I strongly recommend the company and the trip

We did this excursion but with an extra day and night in Fayoum. It was possible thanks to the organization with Hoda Gabal and her team, thank you. Experience was simply Superb. Incredible landscapes, people of enormous kindness, very competent drivers and our guide of impressive qualification, attentive at all times, smiling... And there is nothing impossible. How do you find a team like that? Thank you thank you thank you. We will never forget this adventure!

Beautiful experience, spectacular landscapes, and impeccable organization.

Unforgettable adventure in wonderful surroundings. Good organization. Highly recommended.

Sure 🙂 Example of an Arabic duplicate you would like to use or modify: Honestly, it was a bigger trip to the oasis of the Black and White Desert ↓✨. Creme was a very excellent Tor Jade, explaining his information in an easy and enjoyable way, and creme was attentive to every detail and made sure we were comfortable and well-stocked. The market was very Pro, safe flight, helpful and friendly, with a sense of safety and comfort. The trip with them was an unforgettable experience, and I would recommend whoever visits the place to check out them 👌 Thank you for the beautiful day and the wonderful organization!

Lots of road to get there, but it's definitely worth it. The White Desert is incredible, with unique and unreal landscapes, it really feels like we are elsewhere. Despite a 4x4 breakdown in the desert, everything went well: we waited for another vehicle and the guide was very reassuring. He explained that we would see everything as planned, stress-free and at our own pace, which really made the difference. A memorable excursion, I recommend without hesitation.

A fabulous experience, especially thanks to our guide Omar Saleh. The communication before pickup has been very good, very formal with the schedules, and willing to help us in everything we have needed during the wxcursion. Although it is a long day, highly recommended, especially if you are lucky enough to have Omar

Really nice desert tour, experience to do absolutely if you come to Cairo. We left with the guide Omar Saeed really prepared, put us at ease and told us so much about Egypt. Very good and helpful. Highly recommended

Very nice experience and we were very well taken care of by Mido our driver and youssef our guide

I can only advise you to take this excursion. But above all, I wish you one thing: to have Abdullah as your guide. He made us live a magical moment that we will never forget. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts Abdullah! 🙏 And thank you very much to the Mido driver for driving us there! The landscapes are exceptional you will take full eyes!!

We would like to thank Omar Saleh for his magnificent company, dedication, warmth, and excellent command of the Spanish language, as this allowed us to have an unforgettable stay in Cairo and in the desert. We are happy an unforgettable experience. Thank you very much Egypt for your beauty and wonderful people!!

It turns out that in my initial contact with Mrs. Sara, I explained the same who was making the contact for having seen on the Enterprise website that offered a day trip to the desert. As my whole trip was already agreed with another Enterprise that only made the desert in 2 days and we only had 1 day to make the tour. I received the roadmap (annex) and we also talked about the fulfillment of the entire planned roadmap (annex our conversation) and the need to anticipate the contract for requesting entry into the park to the competent authorities (I was informed to be unnecessary). All right we made the payment 332,00 USD which we thought was a fair cost for a day tour. On 28/10/25 as agreed the guide found us at the hotel and we departed to the desert. The car that carried us was not very comfortable but met our need. During the journey we noticed that the guide was inexperienced, with a little active posture but we disregarded. We arrived at a village for a typical breakfast and until it was all over we left in a more advanced time. We entered a 4x4 in very poor state of conservation (there was no air conditioning, the windows if opened did not close again). We continued the journey and realized that the guide did not tell us anything about the area and its attractions (I asked, for example, what the difference between the forming substance of the white and black desert and the answer was “one is black and another is white”). We followed to a certain area near where the sandboard is made and before reaching the top the car stuck in the sand. We stayed for about 1h and 40 min standing, very hot, I stood under a rock in the shadow while the driver tried in vain to solve the problem. None of the cars that passed by there stopped until my son and nephew went to help the driver while the guide remained in the shade with me. I asked if he should not contact the agency or other help and the answer was “the driver will solve”. After a long time stopped another car with Chilean tourists and they were with the driver and my son and nephew who managed to solve the problem. We followed the journey and when we arrived at the Crystal Mountain again we stopped for the driver to change the tire. After so much trouble and the time ahead we decided to just pass through the black desert for a few photos and continue to “thermal waters” (as planned in the script) for a relaxing bath. Total mistake, the place we stopped was wasted without anything but a cement box with a dirty, stinking water coming out of a rusted hose. We became indignant and began to question what it was and only the driver speaking in Arabic told the guide that he was there. Faced with the complete ignorance of the guide we used up to google maps to show where the location would be and nothing was resolved. I asked the guide if he knew the place he said no to and that it was the first time I was going to do this script. Extremely bored we returned to the village and we did not accept to eat (lunch at 18:00) we just wanted to go back to Cairo. We waited for the guide to pray and we departed back with the driver always entering adjacent roads avoiding the main road. From there follows my considerations: - We expected a guide with knowledge of his work, because we felt at the mercy of the driver with whom I did not have a contract and insisted on saying that I had contracted it. Meanwhile, the guide slept, spoke to his cell phone and took a selfie during the ride. - There was no rescue action and the passengers had to go dig to help the driver while the guide was in the shade. - A 4x4 car in poor state of conservation - Observing the script I ask: Where is the village of El Hez where the rejuvenating waters of the cold springs awaited us¿ Where are the hot and cold springs of the region¿ What is the name of the tourist attraction of the place where the driver took us¿ - We later asked several Egyptians and no one knew what that place we stopped for such a relaxing bath and all confirmed that there was definitely not the right place. - Still could report some irregular situations that we noticed, however as I cannot prove I prefer to abstain.
