This was the highlight of my 2 weeks in Egypt. You need to book this. We had a private driver pick us up in Cairo in a comfortable vehicle for the 4 hour drive to the oasis. At Badry’s everyone was welcoming and kind. our guide was great- he made us meals upon arrive and prior to leaving. The guides that took us out into the desert were fun and showered us all the important stops along the way, they set up camp, cooked fabulous food, sang next to the campfire and packed up in the morning. We were even lucky enough to see a desert fox before bed! If you are hesitant about doing something different, don’t be!Show more

Favorite part was the awesome food and waking up in the morning to watch the sunrise over the desert. The pick up in Cairo was efficient and arrival in Bahariya Oasis was followed by a great lunch. Recommend taking the tour of Bahariya Oasis. Our guide, Ahmed, was fantastic and took us the best spots for photos at sunset. It’s a great trip for photographers, especially at night with the stars and Milky Way visible.Show more

Beautiful landscapes that you can only find in the isolated Sahara. Originally, my trip to Egypt was Nile Cruise, I was very impressed by the efficiency, organization and extensive knowledge of the Egypt Best Holidays team; They really made sure to exceed my expectations and provide a great experience. In fact, I was so glad that, after the cruise, I was back in Cairo for three more days of touring with them. On my last day in Egypt, I visited the Bahiriya Oasis, Black Desert, Crystal, Obstacles, and White Deserts by SUV. The rock formations were breathtaking and the experience magical. Take 2 days to allow for a night camping under the stars Thank you again for creating the perfect experience on my last day in Egypt. So whether you are looking for an expert tour of Cairo to see the main attractions, or looking for a more intimate immersion in Egyptian culture, I 100% recommend % Egypt Best Holidays.Show more

Unplug in the magic of the desert If you want to unplug and get away from it all, then camping with Egypt Best Holidays needs to be on your list. My husband and I love the desert, so making a trip with this company was a no brainier. We were only in Egypt for a week so we opted for a night’s stay in his camp and a night camping in the desert. This was how we began our trip and it was exactly what our tired WFH lives needed. With the warm hospitality, chats by the fire, and delicious food, we were immediately transported to the beautiful simplicity this life always has to offer. Needless to say, the views and landscapes provided by the desert mountains and ancient sea floor were breathtaking. Egypt Best Holidays and it team were the humble guides to this magnificent world they call home. And we couldn’t be more grateful.Show more
