Posted on siana999Verified Amazing trip with Camp White Desert! We had an amazing time in the black and white deserts! Everything was well taken care of, the team is very fun and professional, food was delicious and the camping was lovely! The simplicity yet happiness of these people is outstanding, I would definitely recommend making this trip with Camp White Desert.Posted on Merna Raffat AVerified ممتعه جدا من اجمل الرحلات الي طلعتها في حياتي محمد واصدقائه ودودين جدا ومنظمين ويحبون عملهم جدا ويهتمون بلعملاء بشكل كبير جدا انصح بهم نشده رحله لا تتكررPosted on Kateryna RVerified Would you like it to sound more casual, formal, or enthusiastic? I was lucky enough to spend a night at Camp White Desert, and it was a truly magical experience. The landscape is simply surreal, with white rock formations that look like they were sculpted from another world. The tour was perfectly organized—from the thrilling 4x4 rides to the breathtaking sunset and the traditional dinner under the stars. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making us feel safe and well cared for throughout the trip. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to explore Egypt in an authentic and unique way.Posted on mar lVerified Experiencia única en el desierto La experiencia con Mohamed en el Desierto Blanco fué increible! Un trato muy cercano y familiar. Hizo del viaje un momento único transportándonos a lugares de ensueño!Posted on DALL'ACQUAVerified Une expérience unique Des gens simples, des gens vrais.Très bonne organisation et relais de chauffeurs au départ du Caire. Un changement à l'oasis de Bahareyya.Deux jours et une nuit hors du temps dans un lieu d'une indescriptible beauté...Muhammad, Mustafa, Hicham et Ahmed se sont très bien occupés de nous.Explication des sites, quelques rifts dans les dunes, le campement qui se monte par magie au crépuscule avec ces hommes du désert.Feu de bois, grillades, soupe locale, musique traditionnelle et chants le soir, vraiment très réussi.Je conseille vivement. Posted on Démiane LVerified Voyage de 3 jours au désert noir et blanc Super voyage! Les vues était à couper le souffle et les guides très sympathiques. Un grand merci à eux, on a passé un super moment entre amis.Posted on OnAir22221382056Verified Very excellent, I highly recommend it. One of the most beautiful trips. The company is organized in terms of food and drink. They care a lot about all the details of the customers. Muhammad is very friendly and loves his customers. He was very interested in us. We went on a two-night trip under the stars. I highly recommend it.Posted on Ralf SVerified Da rimanere a bocca aperta. Confermo quello che ha scritto PaolaSe64. Sembra sempre esagerato dare il massimo di 5 stelle ma devo sottolineare che questo tour, l'organizzazione, i pasti, la cortesia di Mohammed e dei suoi collaboratori valgono questi punti. L'ambiente é veramente particolare che si presta benissimo anche per gli amatori di foto notturne e stellari. Molto consigliato con la luna piena.
