Hello, I am a single traveller. I am hoping to find a tour (hopefully group tour) to go camping here on 2nd of April from Cairo. I contacted a few people and I heard at the present time the security status in Fayoum regarding camping is restricted for foreigners, is that true? Are there anyone who went camping here as a single traveller? Would you recommend any tour company or guide? Thank you.
