Fantastic experience!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing private desert experience with Moustafa We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Moustafa! From the very beginning, he was friendly, professional and made us feel completely comfortable. The desert trip was amazing, but the highlight was definitely the candlelight dinner. The location, atmosphere and sunset made it a truly special and memorable evening. Everything was very well organized, relaxed and never felt rushed or touristy. Moustafa was a huge part of what made the experience so enjoyable. He took great care of us throughout the whole trip, was always helpful and created a really friendly atmosphere. You can tell that he genuinely cares about his guests and wants them to have the best possible experience. If you are staying in El Gouna or Hurghada and want something more personal and special than a typical mass-tourism desert safari, I can highly recommend this experience — and especially Mustafa. Thank you, Moustafa, for an unforgettable evening in the desert! We will definitely remember it for a long time. 🇪🇬❤️

Amazing experience.

This trip was memorable. The desert experience was unforgettable and the food was delicious. Communication from Mustafa before the trip was excellent and my dietary requirements were met. The pick up from our hotel was punctual. Mustafa is extremely knowledgeable and very personable. Sorry don’t remember the driver’s name but we were in safe hands! I would give this trip more than 5 stars if that were possible. Highly recommended

Fantastic, unique experience!

We were picked up by Mustafa and a driver in a jeep and driven to the desert. Along the way, we received a wealth of interesting information and explanations about the region's history and nature. We walked through the valley and saw numerous fossils. After a traditional coffee, we climbed the mountain. A fun challenge for children! Once at the top, you feel like you're on top of the world. There, we witnessed a beautiful sunset. A little further on, a private barbecue awaited us. We enjoyed a delicious meal in the desert! And after dinner, we enjoyed the radiant starry sky. It was beautiful! The excursion is adventurous, educational, and you become one with nature! Highly recommended! A truly fantastic and unique experience.

10000% recommend

Wow this tour was the best i've had in my life. I have never experienved anything so interesting and wonderful. It starts with you getting picked up straight at your hotel, the driver was lovely and funny. You are then taken to a meeting point at the start of the Sahara trail and here Mustafa joins you. What a brilliant tour guide he is. Mustafa speaks multiple languages and he is a Geologist and Egyptologist and you can hear and see his passion in the fossil valley and his knowledge on them is unmatched. Amd even though he does this your everyday, for man years, he has true excitement when telling you the information and history. The fossils are from 140 million years ago from when Egypt was under the water and wow it is beautiful and amazing to see! You get to watch the sunset and also are cooked the BEST meal of my life. Traditional Egyptian food, under the stars, freshly made by chefs in the Sahara!!! I honestly think everyone needs to experience this trip with Mustafa as it really is the best thing i have ever done. Highly recommend.

incredible experience

Highly recommend this trip. Mustafa, the guide, is an Egyptologist and Geologist that speaks many languages and has a vast knowledge of Egypt and the Sahara. The tour takes you from your Hurghada hotel to 40km into the desert, starting at a real Bedouin village. There, you are given lots of tea and fresh fruit, amazing hospitality and stories from the locals and Mustafa, super interesting. The village was a real experience, not one that has been commercialised with sellers and tourist traps - it was proper Bedouin and the people were wonderful. After this, you ride further into the Sahara until you come to a valley full of beautiful fossilised shells and corals that have been there for around 140 million years, when Egypt was under the water! it doesn't stop there, you are then taken to a very cool cave that is natural in the surrounding hills, with a stunning view at the top. Then they take you up to the top to watch the sunset and relax. The driver is so impressive in navigating you safely around this terrain. Then lastly you have a candlelit dinner in the valley with the best food I've ever tasted, freshly made from a chef IN THE DESERT! So cool and lovely. The hospitality really is incredible and Mustafa and the drivers and the Bedouins are fantastic people. i couldn't recommend anything more than I recommend this trip. Easily 5 stars.
