My husband and I have just finished a two-night, one-day trip to the Black and White Deserts with Mohamed, and I would say he is the best guide I’ve met in Egypt. He is a very genuine and kind person. His English is very fluent. He is very knowledgeable about both the geography and history of Egypt. He explained each spot we visited in detail. He is responsive and accountable for customer’s safety. He sent two drivers to pick us up from hotel (normally just one) because the weather turns foggy to ensure we were safe and well taken care of. He brought us to sand boarding and provided clear instructions to make sure we don’t get hurt. He also has excellent cooking skills! We enjoyed grilled chicken, potato soup, and vegetables with rice for dinner, and everything was absolutely delicious. It's no surprise to me that Mohamed is a popular guide and comes highly recommended on travel pages across Asia. I can say that his reputation is very well-deserved. You maybe able to find someone who charges you lower but if you want to ensure a safe and smooth experience, look no further than Mohamed.

Mohammed is an affable and honest guide and a very entertaining storyteller (with excellent English) regaling us with tales of his time in the army. The trip was well-organized with no time wasted but also no rushing. I would highly recommend his tour group to anyone who is looking for a personalized touch.
My husband and I recently enjoyed a magical private tour to the black and white desert. It was hands down one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. Mohamed, our guide, was absolutely awesome—super friendly, attentive and genuinely interesting to talk to. He made sure every part of the trip was perfect, offering fascinating insights along the way. The views were stunning, from vast desert landscapes to the most beautiful sunsets we’ve ever seen. The night in the tent under the stars felt like something out of a dream. The food was delicious and authentic. There’s honestly nothing to improve. It was a perfect, private getaway. If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience, this is it! Thank you, Mohamed, for making it so special!
The tour was an unforgettable experience! Mohamed takes great care of the participants, prepares delicious meals and tells amazing stories from his life. Great organization, knowledge and a playlist in the car that perfectly match the surroundings. I regret that it was only a two-day trip. It is worth going for a little longer definitely! I hope to return there one day and meet you again. Unique places and moments. Thank You!
It was a really nice experience, and we met great people. The contact with the organiser was perfect. I totally recommend
Amazing experience. Went with Ahmed who is very experienced, cooked us a nice dinner and breakfast and made sure nothing was missing. We had a nice group which made the experience even better. Definitely recommend this. Happily tipped
Fantastic experience. We visited several places in the desert and the camping in the desert was magic. Also, the dinner in the desert was delicious, and all the communication before and during the safari was smoth. Definitely recommended.
I had the chance to have Mohamed as a guide during my unique experience in the desert with 4 of my friends. I would recommend this trip to anyone, it was exceptional! From the landscapes, to the food, without forgetting the friendliness and stories of Mohamed and his team! I will remember this forever, thank you!
Thank you Mohamed! Everything was perfect, you always made sure we had what we needed and everything was well organized. You are a great cook and storyteller. We really enjoyed spending time with you and learning about this beautiful part of Egypt. Highly recommended to those looking to unwind and completely relax!
The tour is amazing, full board with lunch, amazing dinner and breakfast. All the guys were super cool and welcoming. We also stopped by an Oasis with sulphuric water pool! I didn’t have the chance to meet Mohamed but he was super attentive in communication via whatsapp from the reservation to the end of the tour. Super recommended to everybody that want to discover Egypt.
Unforgettable experience in the desert, sleeping under the stars. My girlfriend and I did the tour with 4 other people, it was great to meet such a multicultural group of persons with whom we had many interesting chats. I truly recommend the excursion to all.
I had the pleasure to organise two tours for friends with Mohamed in the Black and White Desert. Both times were amazing. Mohamed and his associates are very professional, attentive and hospitable. They made each of us feel so valued and taken care of during the entire trip. The experiences were amazing and of course the food cooked was so delicious. This experience was one of my highlights of my trip to Egypt. I highly recommend Mohamed for tours to the black and white desert.
Gracias a esta experiencia he podido terminar de cumplir varios sueños de un plumazo, hacer surf en las dunas del sahara, dormir en el desierto y cenar alli mismo al calor de una hoguera junto a un guía increible, divertido y muy atento. Incrieble viaje, lo mejor de viaje a Egipto.
Mohammed fue un guía estupendo. Aprendimos mucho, disfrutamos con sus historias y vimos sitios inolvidables que quedarán en nuestra memoria! Un lugar único, Muy recomendable!
素晴らしい体験。ドライバーは、英語で簡単に案内。料理も上手でした。また、チップをねだることがなく気持ちよくすごせました。カイロから6時間ほど。1日目の午後と2日目の朝までが砂漠滞在時間。自然はいいですね。
