EXCELLENT Based on 9 reviews JoVerified Unforgettable Bahariya Oasis Trip with Eyad El Zaghandi I went on a desert trip to the Bahariya Oasis with my friend in November last year, and we were lucky to have Eyad El Zaghandi as our guide. It was truly an incredible experience from start to finish. Eyad is not only deeply knowledgeable about the desert, local history, and Bedouin culture, but he’s also friendly, funny, and made sure we felt safe and relaxed throughout the journey.We explored amazing spots like the White Desert, Black Desert, and Crystal Mountain. Eyad shared fascinating stories along the way, and his passion for the desert made everything even more special.The highlight was definitely the camping experience under the stars. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was peaceful, and we felt like we were traveling with an old friend rather than a guide.If you’re considering a desert adventure in Egypt, I highly recommend booking a trip with Eyad El Zaghandi. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience we’ll never forget!

Tori OVerified Highlight of Our Egypt Trip! Our two-day adventure in the Bahariya Oasis was hands down the highlight of our week in Egypt! We did one night camping in the desert and one night in a hotel in the oasis, and every moment was unforgettable.Our tour guides were incredible—so knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely passionate about sharing the culture and history of the area. They took us to the most amazing places, and the trip was packed with things to see and experience. Not a single dull moment!One of the most touching parts was that they surprised me with a mini birthday celebration since my birthday was right before the trip. It was so thoughtful and unexpected—it really showed how much they care about making each guest feel special.From the music around the campfire to learning about Bedouin culture, everything felt so personal and immersive. And the food? Absolutely delicious!I honestly can’t recommend this experience enough. 100 out of 10! If you’re considering booking—do it. You won’t regret it. Paulina LVerified The Most Wholesome Desert Experience — A Must-Do with Eyad! I recently had the absolute pleasure of exploring the Western Desert with Eyad, and it was truly one of the most wholesome, soul-nourishing experiences of my life.From the start, everything was smooth and convenient — our driver picked us up right from Cairo, which made the logistics super easy. Despite me being on a tight schedule, Eyad tailored the trip perfectly to make sure we saw and experienced as much as possible without feeling rushed. That flexibility made a huge difference.Eyad himself is incredible — smart, kind, and deeply knowledgeable about the region. What really stood out was his ability to read people’s energy and vibe; he knew exactly when to give us space to soak in the silence, and when to share stories or fascinating insights about the landscape, culture, and history. It made everything feel natural, personal, and very intentional.The desert itself? Pure magic. The silence out there is like nothing else — grounding and peaceful — and the stars at night were beyond breathtaking. It’s truly an off-the-grid experience that lets you disconnect and fully be in the moment.A big bonus: Eyad is also a phenomenal photographer! You don’t have to worry about missing a single photo op — he knows exactly where and how to capture the most stunning shots, which made our memories even more special.Also, my boyfriend and I are vegan, and we were so impressed and grateful that Eyad made sure we were well taken care of. Thoughtful touches like that just elevated the whole experience.If you’re considering a desert tour, don’t hesitate — go with Eyad. You’ll leave with not only amazing memories and photos, but also a deep sense of peace and connection to a truly beautiful part of the world. Ahmed SVerified Unforgettable Desert Adventure with a True Local I’ve traveled a lot but this trip with Eyad was differentHe’s not just a guide he truly lives the desert and shares it with heartThe landscapes were unreal and the night at the camp was pure peaceIf you want something real don’t miss this
I’m Eyad Al-Zaghandi, a young man from Bahariya Oasis, and I’ve lived a Bedouin life all my life. I love photography, and through it, I wanted to show people the beauty of the place I live in. That’s how the idea came to me — to organize trips inside the oasis and let people live the experience for themselves.
