Zizou the tour guide, was very knowledgeable and professional. He went the extra mile to get great videos for IG. Btw Anwer the driver was a great driver. Enjoyed camel ride, boat ride and rowing the boat. The waterfall was very picturesque.

We had a day spare after visiting the various 'must-sees' in cairo. The Fayoum trip was a great way to experience a bit more (and a very different side) of the country. Hosni and his driver took us around in a very comfortable minibus, tailored the trip to our needs and interests. It was a bit of driving (4hrs at least) but with various stops and well worth it. The oasis was interesting - not how we imagined - so definitely learned something and you get a better idea of the desert. It's not a must do but would definitely recommend if you have time to spare. Also used Hosni as our guide to do the pyramids and GEM - was all very well organised and Hosni was very flexible to accommodate our requests.

Stopping at a small museum out of Cairo we were able to learn so much Egyptian history by our guide Zizou in a quiet environment.We saw life up close in the country side and were astounded by the waterfalls and lakes in the Sahara desert at the Wadi El Rayen national Park. Our expert driver Esam made the drive interesting and felt very safe and comfortable. Another highlight was the home cooked meal overlooking Qarn lake. Get out of the busyness of Cairo and see nature.
