Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is how you see the White Desert, one of the best places in Egypt.

The trip started with a beautiful motor to the Black Desert where we wandered, took pictures and enjoyed the scenery.

In the white desert, we went up to the sand (fun but a little bit of a challenge) and we drove around the beautifully formed chalk rocks. The whole area is much bigger than you expect, and if you have a chance I suggest more than one night.

The dinner Mohammed cooked for us was incredible. Really spiced cute chicken, rice and vegetables. Seriously, this is one of the best meals I have had in my month in Egypt. Funny stories were told about the campfire and of course the hookah was taken out.

They had a great setup with a three-sided structure to protect from the wind and keep us warm. During the night. The stars are unbelievable this is out of town.

In the morning we had the opportunity to wander around the area and marvel at these strange rocks before going back. Once we reach the town, we fall into hot springs!

100% recommended, my favorite thing in Egypt. I would like to return for a longer trip one day.

I heartily recommend Muhammad and his team !!! It is the best suggestion (price quality) that you can find on the market regarding Western Sahara !!
Khaled is beautiful, funny, open-minded, efficient and friendly ... He has well-equipped cars and all the necessary things for a desert trip.
Besides, he is also a very good host !! His house is very clean and after a long desert trip, I could use his shower to refresh myself.
I hope to return in the desert to visit more and surely ask Muhammad to be my guide !!

Prior to this trip, I had never been camping out before, so I was a bit nervous to book it. But I'm so glad I did because this camping trip was one of the best experiences of my life!
We visited the Bahariya village for lunch, which was delicious. My friend is a vegetarian and I am vegetarian and they were able to absorb us easily. After that, we passed the black desert, visited a crystal mountain, and finally stopped in the white deserts to camp. Everything was so beautiful, and we felt like we were on a different planet. At night, it was very quiet and there were many beautiful stars. I will never forget that.
We went in early march so it was warm during the day but not too hot, but during the night it was very cold. I'm glad I brought a jacket with me. Even though it was cold, it was very warm in our sleeping bags and slept well!
Koteh was our guide, and I would definitely recommend camping with him! He set up camp and bonfire, gave us delicious food, and it was very fun to drive through the desert. He was so cute and made the trip perfect!

You are the guardian of the white desert with Muhammad, the experience of observation. They are like Jolie to the last planet. Muhammad was wary of the tongue, and made us sing with faith, and arranged all this journey seriously. He does not know the desert like a pocket. We did not show what we could do in the desert with white and black, and we ate delicious food, and most of us were single because of it. Muhammad is like the truthful one who knows what is best for you.

Had a great experience with Mohamad and his team.
Did the 3 days/2 nights tour and would do it again without a doubt!
Mohamad is really experienced tour guide/driver and really knows how to take you to the best spots!
The scenery is breathtaking, really unbelievable and out of this world sights,definitely some of the most beautiful places I've been my entire life.
I can't leave without commenting on the awesome food served. It's crazy good authentic Bedouin food prepared on site and the quantity served is truly overwhelming,trust me, you won't be hungry!
I want to thank Mohamad for welcoming me at his house, showing me around and sharing his culture!

This trip was one of the best trips we've ever had! Mohamed, the expert desert guide, provided us with an excellent service from AtoZ; door to door.

The private modern car picked us up from our hotel in Cairo, drove us all the way up to the Bahariya Oasis where Mohamed and his team were waiting for us and the adventure began! First, we were welcomed by a traditional and delicious home-cooked brunch and Bedouin tea in a Bedouin home; then Mohamed and his team of guides (Tamer and Mohamed) took us to this AMAZING desert where they let us visit and explore the Black desert, the Crystal Mountain, the natural therapeutic Hot spring and the Cold spring, the Agabat Valley where we could enjoy amazing views and serenity from the desert.

Then the drove us to the White desert and the Mushroom valley and we enjoyed the unique scenery, peace and sky full of stars and constellations while drinking or freshly brewed tea with mint and eating the most delicious fruits.

After that, we were driven to Bawiti Oasis hotel where we were welcomed with a special fantastic dinner and a very entertaining Bedouin party - the vibes were great! The hospitality of this very clean place was so warm you could feel at home.

Take care, it gets super cold at night during winter so you need to bring heavy clothes with you.

The following morning, after breakfast and checkout; we visited the English mountain and then they drove us back again to Cairo in total ease and comfort.

Hopefully, we will do this trip again and next time we camp in the desert :)

This trip is HIGHLY recommended for all ages, at least once in a lifetime!

Mohammed, Ahmed and Waleed did an amazing tour for us in the White Desert and the Black Desert and Bahariya oasis. This was our second time visiting this area, so we really wanted them to take us everywhere and that’s what they did.

Very organized tour yet flexible, when we wanted to add a few stops it was no problem. The food they prepared was delicious. Campfires at night were great. Highly recommend this fun, organized and professional group and you can tell they want you to have the best experience.

We have been in contact with Mohamed, the real son of the desert, event before we arrived in Egypt. He helped us a lot to find accommodation, transport and every thing to plan the perfect trip ! He was always aware of our needs.

During our stay we went visiting the desert with him, he shew us incredible places like baharia oasis where we ha lunch, the Crystal Mountain, the black desert, aqapat area (which was amazing) And we went in the White desert to establish our camp and Watch the perfect sunset and eat the best meal we have eaten in Egypt !! We slept in the desert and got a delicious breakfast homemade.

Then we drove back to the oasis to have lunch and a shower in the hot source of water.

This was 2 amazing days totally merged in the desert. Mohamed was the best guide and help you even before or after the trip. The nicest egyptian we met ! Also Thank you Hani for being the best driver, always here for us, you were amazing 🫶🏼

NB: Don’t Forget to close the door of the toilet in the desert 😉 Assouan (- private joke haha)

An unforgettable experience that allows you to disconnect and focus on the essential: the beauty of nature, calm, emptiness, tranquility. Mohammed is very attentive, he is keen to share his culture and does so with a lot of patience. Shukran Mohammed
