We stayed in the desert with our guide Abdol Sami who spoke very well in Italian, accompanied by the driver Aymen (great driver), we saw great places!! We had a great time 💪🏾💪🏾
Response from the operator: Hi! Che bello leggere che Abdol Sami e Aymen vi hanno fatto vivere una bella esperienza nel deserto. Sono felice che vi siate trovati bene con loro e che i posti visitati vi siano piaciuti. Spero di rivedervi per un altro giro nel deserto.

Oasis of bahariya
The Abdol guide was immediately very welcoming and nice! It made us feel immediately at ease. We had a beautiful tour with Aymen who drove over the desert and Abdol explained everything to us as we visited the places. It was a wonderful experience thank you so much for everything!
Response from the operator: Hi Manuel, Abdol is especially happy you felt comfortable and well cared for throughout the desert tour, and that both he and Aymen made it a memorable experience.

Great experience with Hala!
We went 2 days/1 night in the desert! It has been a great trip! Our guide, Hala Morad, has been amazing! She speaks perfectly Italian and knows all about ancient Egypt. She told us a lot also about the present of Egypt. Great experience!

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2-Day Guided Tour in Bahariya Oasis, White and Black Desert Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does 2-Day Guided Tour in Bahariya Oasis, White and Black Desert Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $169 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2-Day Guided Tour in Bahariya Oasis, White and Black Desert Tour take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cairo is not rushed.
Is 2-Day Guided Tour in Bahariya Oasis, White and Black Desert Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day Guided Tour in Bahariya Oasis, White and Black Desert Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2-Day Guided Tour in Bahariya Oasis, White and Black Desert Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 2-Day Guided Tour in Bahariya Oasis, White and Black Desert Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cairo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cairo and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Day Guided Tour in Bahariya Oasis, White and Black Desert Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cairo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cairo?
+
On Outty we rank every Cairo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-in-One Giza Tour, inside Pyramid, sphinx, Camel ride & lunch, VIP Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx Tour –Inside the Pyramids&More, Best of Cairo Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Museum Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cairo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cairo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
