Overview

This is more than just a desert tour. I was born and raised in Bahariya Oasis, the gateway to the White Desert, and I created this experience to share the real desert life with travelers. Through my passion for photography and storytelling, I guide you through the White Desert’s landscapes and introduce you to the Bedouin traditions I live every day. It’s not about ticking places off a list, but about feeling the culture, understanding the lifestyle, and connecting with the White Desert in an authentic and personal way.

Amazing Meteor shower Experience

An amazing two day desert experience to witness the meteor shower. 🌌 A trip full of fun, adventure and exploration! They are prepared with everything. As much as I like meeting new people, a small group and a little setting was important for me. And that they made sure of, reflecting on amazing quality and value. Would definitely loke to join them again for a future trip!

Right on the spot

More the wonderful, closer to perfection That is what happens when you have you go with elzaghandi travel, Eyad, Mohamed and Ahmed are more than local guides, they are friends and they brought us to there circle teaching us history, traditions and culture. And for sure the site were perfect and nicely organized with some trick for the pics or fun games like the sandboarding. The camping part was wonderful, great food, very nice photos with the stars And great vibes all around. Very experienced in the area after all the are they sons of the land Shout out to Eyad who is very fun and knowledgeable Highly recommended.

Magical experience

**Title: Incredible 2-Day White Desert Experience with Eyad** We had an absolutely amazing 2-day experience in the White Desert with our guide Eyad. Everything was perfect from start to finish. Eyad went above and beyond to take care of us and make sure we had the best possible experience. He was accompanied by my his friend, and both of them were incredibly kind, welcoming, and fun to spend time with. We ate delicious food, slept really well, and enjoyed every single moment of the trip. Honestly, they are some of the most wonderful people we met during our time in Egypt. I recommend this experience 1000% — you can go with your eyes closed. Thank you again for these unforgettable two days!
