This wasn’t just a tour—it was the most unforgettable experience of our lives. After a mesmerizing visit to the Abu Simbel temples (even more powerful without the crowds!), we journeyed into the desert for a night of traditional Nubian hospitality. We rode camels into the dunes as the sun set in fiery hues, feasted on delicious food around a crackling fire, and slept in a comfortable Bedouin-style camp under a blanket of countless stars. Our guide, Amir, shared stories and songs that made us feel like family. Waking up to the silence and vastness of the desert, then having tea as the sun rose, was pure peace. This trip is a must for anyone wanting to connect deeply with Egypt’s history and soul.”

An absolute highlight of our Egypt trip! We started with a profound visit to Abu Simbel—seeing the temples in the softer light of the afternoon felt intimate and powerful. Then, as the sun began to set, we ventured into the desert for an unforgettable night. Riding camels through golden dunes, sharing stories with our wonderful guide around a fire, and sleeping under a sky ablaze with stars was nothing short of magical. The traditional dinner was delicious, and the peace of the desert at sunrise is something we’ll carry with us forever. This experience perfectly blended awe-inspiring history with raw, beautiful nature. Don’t miss this unique adventure!”
