I contacted Hani two days before I went to Egypt and asked him if it was possible to combine two of their tours as we were short on time. We had planned to stay in Cairo but with the uprising we decided it would be safed outside of the hot spot. Hani came back to me very quickly and we went from there! Three days later he collected us from the hotel and off we went on a 2 day 1 night trip of the black desert, white desert and the valley of the Whales. Hani was a super guide and very knowledgeable about all things Egypt. Any question we had on history he had it down. Our driver (and chef) for the two days – Merhad? was also fantastic, super driver – I never once felt unsafe (despite no seat belts!) and steep descents in the desert.
The white desert is an amazing place. So solitary and beautiful. We camped out under the stars catching the sunrise and sunset and luckily a full moon. The valley of the Whales would ordinarily be great but it was overshadowedby the white desert.
The food was great, super organised and an unexpected hilight of the whole trip. Would definately recommend Egypt fun tours to anyone. The only comment I would make is that you do pay European prices for this trip – it is not cheap but then again you are guaranteed a safe trip with a good guide.
Thanks Hani for a great holiday and sorry for delay in this review – took me a while to get around to it 🙂
