We had the time of our lives on a trip to Egypt and the Bahariya/White Desert with Egypt Fun Tours, too. I would highly recommend this company. They are very familiar with organizing this trip, and this means they are well-connected in the desert area. This was invaluable to us in several ways.
1) There was a petrol (gas) strike in the Cairo area the day we left for the desert. Several tourists were stranded in Cairo (couldn’t make it to the desert) or worse, in Bawiti (a village close to the white desert) due to the shortage of gas. Our driver and our guide (Hani) were very resourceful in ensuring that our trip went on as planned, and we were back in Cairo in time to make our flight!
2) They are flexible and patient, and will plan even small details with you. They are also honest about what to expect from various places in the desert. We opted out of seeing some places to spend more time doing things we liked to (roaming around the White Desert formations).
3) If you want a cultural experience, where you can meet people and understand the Egyptian way of life, these guys can organize it for you. We had a great experience spending time on a farm in Bawiti, meeting the locals, and eating local food under a palm tree on the farm
Finally, Hani and Hamada (of Egypt Fun Tours) are fun-loving and extremely friendly. They communicate well and are enthusiastic about their country, culture, and history. We learnt a lot and had a great time.
Hope this helps..
Enjoy Egypt !!
