We enjoyed this day trip to the desert, but be aware that it's a long day. It will take at least two hours to drive from Cairo. Our guide was very nice, but didn't share a lot of information other than what we could read for ourselves. The Bedouin camp was great to see and lunch was good. The desert was beautiful and the waterfalls were bigger than we expected, and it was very cool to see the skeletal remains of whales. For those who want an extra experience they had several very nice sleeping rooms, and tents for those who want to rough it. The stars would likely be beautiful so far away from the city lights.
