Wael was a great guide, so knowledgeable, with excellent English language skills. We enjoyed the desert scenery. Learning about the fossil whales was fascinating. The driver took us hurtling over the dunes in a rollercoaster ride!

By far the BEST excursion my wife and I have ever been on. Coming into Cairo we didn't know what to expect as there are plenty of guides and tours out there. If you are reading this...stop looking and book with Gem Explore Egypt!
We booked the Fayoum adventure tour which included 4x4 desert ride, Valley of Whale (very informative), Waterfall, magic lake, lunch, and SAND BOARDING. Amazing scenery everywhere you looked. My wife didnt stop taking pictures the entire time lol.
Both tour guides and especially Maged were very knowledgeable and knew the area like the back of their hand. Highly Recommend!!
