Wonderful experience An unforgettable experience with an amazing guide We had a truly wonderful experience with our guide. From the very beginning, he was always incredibly kind, welcoming and attentive, making us feel comfortable throughout the entire trip. One of the things we appreciated the most was how genuinely caring he was with our son. He was always patient, thoughtful and made sure that he was happy and comfortable during every part of the journey. He even welcomed us into his own home for lunch, which was a very special experience and made us feel more like guests and friends than simply clients. The itinerary was completely customized around our preferences and needs, and even when we decided to make some changes along the way, he was always flexible, helpful and happy to adapt the plan for us. Beyond being professional and well organized, he is simply a genuinely good-hearted, kind and generous person. He really did everything he could to make our trip special and memorable. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone visiting Egypt and would not hesitate to travel with him again. Thank you for making our journey so unforgettable!

Great journey in Egypt with guide Hamada We (an older couple from The Netherlands) had a great journey in Egypt with our guide Hamada Kaddoura. We started our tour in CaΓ―ro, visited Alexandria for a couple of days and finally spent some 5 days in the Siwa oasis and surrounding desert. Hamada is a very experienced guide, who not only has great knowledge about Egypt’s culture and especially the oasis and desert, but was also very thoughtful, funny and flexible. Furthermore, he knows the best places to eat, which we appreciated a lot. We can highly recommend Hamada as guide in Egypt!

Brilliant Hamada is a very experienced guide who knows exactly how to make things happen. We had some great days with him in the desert. He got us to Tutankhamun's mask at the GEM as the first and only visitors of the day. And when necessary, he also knows where to get Antinal ;)

Super guide During our trip through Egypt, we spent 2 days in Cairo, where Hamada was our guide. He kept our family, including 2 students, entertained with his infectious stories and took us through the sights to the tastiest lunch spots. It gave a familiar feeling to go with him. Nice that he speaks Dutch too!

Great Adventure with an excellent guide We (a family with a 14 and 17 year old) had a really great time in Egypt with our guide Hamada. From the pickup at our hotel in Gizeh, the pyramids, the GEM, the Cairo citytour and the Desert tour; Hamada could tell us all we want to know and he knows his way around. He is flexible, so no problem if you want to see or do something different. We felt completly safe in his company. For us it was nice he also speaks dutch. And he knows how to make a good mood on the road. 😁 Definitely a positive recommendation!

Nature and few tourists Super experience with excellent guide Hamada. Worked in the Netherlands for a few years and speaks good Dutch. Know everything about the intentions of Egypt. Real nature person. The white desert is breathtakingly beautiful and there is a very peaceful atmosphere.

Amazing Desert Camping Experience! Booked with Kaddoura Local Desert Guide for the Black & White Desert trip and it was seamless from start to finish. Our guide was experienced, knew the terrain inside out, and I felt safe the whole time. Sunset in the White Desert was surreal β€” chalk-white formations glowing gold and pink, like another planet. Camping under and a home-cooked dinner was the highlight of my whole Egypt trip. Our guide was warm, attentive, and took great care of every detail β€” from dune bashing to sunrise over the black volcanic hills. Well-paced, never rushed. Highly recommend if you want an authentic, off-the-grid desert experience in Egypt. A truly unforgettable memory!

Great tour! Our trip through Egypt was partly guided by Hamada. Of all the guides, he was the most fun and sociable and we learned the most! Our daughter thought him great! It's also very nice that the standard program isn't followed, but that Hamada also listens and understands what we want and adapts to our pace/rhythm. In short, recommended!

Fantastic travel experience! My mother (73) and I (40) made an unforgettable multi-day desert trip together with Hamada. With beautiful desert landscapes, oases, serene tranquility, beautiful conversations, laughter and a fantastic night under the stars. Hamada is an authentic guide who does everything to make your trip unforgettable. A true 'people person' who works from the heart. He has answers to all your questions and can cook delicious. We recommend him to everyone!

FARAFRA An experience that goes beyond the journey, something that stays inside. The Black Desert welcomes you with its dark, volcanic, almost lunar mountains: a silent and powerful landscape that seems to come out of another planet. The contrast with the clear sky is amazing and makes you feel tiny before the grandeur of nature. Then, suddenly, white. The limestone formations of the White Desert appear as suspended sculptures, shaped by wind and time. Rocks in the shape of mushrooms, animals, castles... it's like walking in an open-air museum, but created by the invisible hand of nature. At sunset, the colors light up: from pink to golden, to the deep blue of the starry night. Sleeping under that sky, away from everything, is an emotion that you will not forget. An excursion that is not only landscape, but an encounter with silence, with immensity and with oneself. An experience to live at least once in a lifetime, because the Black and White Desert of Egypt is not just a place: it is a feeling, a memory that accompanies you forever.
