Why Choose Us?<\/h1><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Do you want to experience real desert life? Do you need offline time in nature? Do you like to travel sustainably and with respect for nature and local people? Do you dislike impersonal trips in large groups, but prefer to travel in an original, small-scale and authentic way? Do you enjoy a bit of adventure? If you choose to travel with us, you certainly won’t be offered a mass package tour, but you can be assured that there is plenty of room for your personal wishes and input. We create sustainable trips and your contribution for travel and accommodation goes directly to the local population.
\nWe guide you together with our professional and experienced team of Bedouins during your trip. <\/p>\n

Because we have lived in Egypt for years and our family and friends live here, we are well informed about all activities and possibilities in this area. This way we can offer excellent service and a unique experience.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Ahmed<\/span><\/div>

Ahmed<\/h3>\n

Tour Guide<\/h4>\n<\/div>

I am grateful that I get to experience the best of both worlds. I grew up in the Bahariya Oasis and come from a family of Bedouins. I am deeply rooted in the simple life of the desert. Over the years, I have gained the necessary experience in tourism as a guide and manager. I obtained my diploma as a social worker in Cairo and now work as a residential counselor at the CAW in Belgium. I have been living in Belgium for 12 years with my wife and our two children and speak good English, Dutch, and of course Arabic. I am proud of my country and culture and like to share this with people. I enjoy seeing how people relax and enjoy the beauty and simplicity of the desert. <\/p>\n

\"Usha<\/span><\/div>

Usha Charlot<\/h3>\n

Tour Guide | Coach<\/h4>\n<\/div>

I feel intensely happy in the fields of the Bahariya Oasis or on a beautiful rock full of crystals in the silence of the desert. I like to take on challenges, have a creative outlook on life, and want to enjoy the beauty of nature together with others. Years ago, I fell in love with the desert and with my husband Ahmed, and we lived together with our family in Egypt for a few years. Meanwhile, we live in Belgium and travel to our second home country a few times a year. I am trained as a naturopathic therapist and nature coach and enjoy guiding people in a \u201cdown to earth\u201d way to become more empowered and more conscious in life. Besides being a tour guide, I am a coach and often the first point of contact for Inside Nature Adventure. <\/p>\n

Khaled<\/h3>\n

Guide, Driver, and Cook<\/h4>\n<\/div>

I grew up in the Bahariya Oasis together with Ahmad and Walied and have been working with the tourist police for years. I live with my family in the oasis and go to the beautiful desert as often as I can. I have years of experience as a guide and speak reasonable English.
\nI enjoy sitting together by the fire under the starry sky. My friends describe me as a calm and modest person who, when you get to know him better, has a great sense of humor. I am also said to be musical and caring, and to thoroughly enjoy life.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\"Walid<\/span><\/div>

Walied<\/h3>\n

Guide, Driver, and Cook<\/h4>\n<\/div>

As a childhood friend of Ahmed, we have experienced many adventures together and work extremely well as a team. As a young boy, I developed my love for the desert and started working as a desert guide at an early age. I can be found there about 360 days a year. I know the desert like the back of my hand and have extensive experience as a guide and driver. I enjoy taking our guests to its beautiful vast landscapes and introducing them to the pure desert life. I am a proud father of 5 children and have been working with the tourist police for years. I speak good English and by now I also know quite a few Dutch words.
\n I love to spoil our guests with delicious freshly made traditional meals and am often called the ‘chef of the desert’ by my friends.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"Hamada<\/span><\/div>

Hamada<\/h3>\n

Guide, Camel Herder<\/h4>\n<\/div>

I grew up in the desert village of Al Hays in a family of farmers.
\n I take care of our herd of camels daily. Because of this, I know all their names and their characters very well. I like to take part of my herd on trips through the desert. I specialize in long hiking trips and know the desert like the palm of my hand.
\n I enjoy nights under the starry sky and drinking endless cups of Arabic tea that we prepare on the campfire. My friends describe me as funny and modest. I enjoy meeting people from other countries and cultures and introducing them to the real traditional desert life.<\/p>\n<\/div>

PURE ENJOYMENT<\/h2><\/span>

<\/div><\/div><\/span>

Inside Nature Adventures desert journeys are only possible through the collaboration and connection between two cultures.<\/p>\n

The initiative comes from Ahmed and Usha and during their travels they have the support of their friends, a super experienced and professional team of local Bedouin guides, drivers and cooks.<\/p><\/h3><\/span>
