Yes, when we think of Egypt the first thing that comes to mind are: the pyramids, Sphinx, camels, markets spices… and it s true all this is amazing, but for me and my partner, what will stay in our hearts, is the desert! The desert, with Mahmoud as a guide and Omar as a driver. Mahmoud knows the desert as his second home… and knows all the history of it and is able to describe it as a story that can be heard with interest from an adult but equally from a child… we had the best guide in the desert and the fayoum area. Unfortunately we had only 4 days in total in Egypt so we had the chance to have one day with Mahmoud in Fayoum, but we will go back to Egypt with Mahmoud Kamel Hassan as a guide, to explore more this part of Egypt and the desert for more days.
PS: we were there during Easter…we had one of our best meals in the desert, prepared by Omar the driver, a bedouin collaborating with Mahmoud, who also knows the desert like the back of his palm.
In total, Mahmoud made us feel secure, happy, and made us love Egypt more and want to return Back one day…
Recommending the experience 1000% !! 🙂 One cannot visit Egypt without visiting the desert and Mahmoud is THE GUIDE!! 🙂
