Full description

Start with pickup from your hotel or another selected location in Cairo or Giza between 7:30 AM and 8:30 AM. Board a comfortable air-conditioned car and enjoy a comfortable 100-minute ride to the Wadi El Rayan Desert. Upon arrival, enjoy fantastic views of the Wadi El Rayan waterfalls in the heart of the desert. Admire the powerful cascades of water which provide a stark contrast to the surrounding arid landscape.

If you are lucky, catch glimpses of desert wildlife in the area such as the slender-horned gazelle. Next, make a stop for photos of the beautiful Mudawara Mountains. Then, get ready to enjoy the desert adventure. Board the 4X4 car for some dune bashing and experience the excitement as the car glides through yellow, soft sand.

After riding over the dunes, stop to enjoy some sandboarding. Strap yourself to the sandboard and glide down the sparkling, yellow sand at a fast pace. Next, mount a camel and feel like a Bedouin explorer as you ride through the beautiful desert terrain. After the camel ride, stop at a Bedouin desert camp and enjoy an elaborate and delicious BBQ lunch.

Once you are done with your lunch, you will be dropped back to your hotel or selected location in Cairo or Giza.

Can't describe this activity with simple words! Just the best one-day desert safari in Egypt. Highly recommend to ask Ramy Afifi as your tour guide. He is amazing, very friendly, and will push you beyond your limits to take the maximum of this unforgettable experience. He is also a pro photographer. Our safari driver, Salah, was also very professional and excellent driver and he didn't stop jumping from dune to dune with his car throughout the ride. Highly recommended!!

We had a very lovely tour. The car ride to the place was very well organised, there were even little snacks in the car. The tourguide, Ramy, gave us a lot of information about the place. He also took some very beautiful professional pictures of us. The sandsurfing was so much fun. You really got your money's worth, we had an amazing day. 10/10 recommend.

It was excellent in all ways!!!! We will miss our guide because we’ve bonded with her a lot, she told us history and customs of the people here in Egypt which was what we were looking for and today on the activities were very funny and local! We specially recommend it to you if you want to know the country as it is!
