Unforgettable Desert Experience with Marwan & Dohy!

Minami_O, Apr 2026

I had a truly amazing and magical experience during my 2-day desert camping trip. From the start, our guides Marwan and Dohy were incredibly nice, professional, and friendly. They made sure everything was perfect, and their energy made the trip even more special. The camping under the stars was a highlight of my Egypt trip. If you're looking for an authentic and well-organized desert tour, I highly recommend Sub Pyramid Tour. Thank you Marwan and Dohy for the beautiful memories!

Good experience but several things to improve

Sofia_F, Apr 2026

The experience of sleeping in the desert is amazing. What you should consider is the following. The itinerary is not respected (we were not taken to the hot springs), on the second day you do practically nothing and the excursion ends around 4/5pm but you do not get lunch therefore from 7am to 4/5pm DO NOT EAT.
