White Desert and Siwa Oasis Camping in the White Desert was a unique and memorable experience. The landscape is otherworldly, with stunning white rock formations. Our Bedouin guides Tamer and Mohamed Nile were fantastic, setting up a comfortable camp and preparing delicious traditional meals. We spent the evenings around a campfire, chatting and stargazing. The sunrise over the desert was breathtaking. While Siwa Oasis is a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the cities. The natural beauty of the oasis, with its palm groves and salt lakes, is truly relaxing. Siwa is a hidden gem that shouldn't be missed.I would highly recommend both locations to anyone looking for something different in Egypt.Thank you Tamer & Mohamed; your passion for your work is inspiring and it truly made our tour special!

White Desert in my heart Due to bad wind in the desert we could only have 2 nights in tent but the other days we enjoyed a lot any moments spent there. The White Desert offers an exciting and thrilling spectacle and our drivers pampered us in every way (breakfast lunch and dinner so tasty). All perfectly organized. I would say this experience is the diamond tip of Mohamed Nile.

Unforgettable vacation Thank you Mohamed for a fabulous two weeks of vacation. Thank you for the attention paid to the children. I can confidently say that vacationing with children in the desert can also be. Unforgettable impressions, feelings, pleasant memories. Special thanks for preparing the dishes, for taking into account all the wishes. This is not the first time you have accompanied me to sacred places in Egypt and I want to return again. Your care for everyone is felt. I recommend Mohamed with great pleasure, the best guide. Try it and you will want to return too. 🙏❤️

Glamping in the white desert The desert was magical! At times it was otherworldly! Our guide, Mohammed did a wonderful job. We saw the black and white deserts and had a chance to walk in the with desert for awhile. We saw the oasis and had time for bedouin tea and enjoy the lake We had two very tasty meals in his home with his adorable child visiting with us. This was glamping camping! Bedouin tent for dinner, fire outside to sit around and beds with warm sleeping bags in our large tent. Great trip!
Mohamed cared about every detail. He was always available and made us feel completely at ease.

Before you travel

A few useful questions, answered simply.

Is traveling in Egypt's desert safe?

Desert travel requires local knowledge and good preparation. Routes are planned around practical conditions, with experienced local support, appropriate vehicles and realistic travel times. Mohamed can explain the specific arrangements for the journey you are considering.

Can you support Italian-speaking travelers?

Yes. Italian-speaking support is available for planning and communication, which is especially useful for travelers who prefer to discuss the details of their Egypt journey in Italian.

Are the journeys private or in large groups?

The focus is on private and small-group experiences rather than large, anonymous tour groups. This allows the pace and route to feel more personal and flexible.

What is a night of desert camping really like?

It is intentionally simple and close to nature: a prepared camp, meals with the local team, an open desert setting and the experience of waking up far from the city. Before traveling, you will receive clear information about the setup for your particular route.

How many days should I allow for a desert journey?

Two days can give you a beautiful first experience of the White and Black Desert. If you want to include more oases, Siwa or combine the desert with Cairo and other parts of Egypt, allowing several more days creates a much calmer journey.

What should I pack for the desert?

Comfortable layers, sun protection, closed walking shoes, a hat, personal medication and a small day bag are useful basics. Temperatures can change significantly between day and night, so Mohamed will advise you according to the season and itinerary.

Start with a conversation

Tell Mohamed what kind of Egypt you want to feel.

You do not need to know the perfect itinerary yet. Tell us when you are coming, who is traveling and what you hope to experience. Mohamed can help you shape the rest.
