Eyad Elzaghandi
Co-Founder, Licensed Local Guide & Desert Expert
Born and raised in Bahariya Oasis, Eyad grew up with the desert as part of everyday life—not simply as a destination on a map.
For more than seven years, he has guided travelers through Egypt’s desert landscapes and destinations, bringing together local knowledge, thoughtful timing and the practical details that make a journey feel safe, comfortable and personal.
At Egypt Desert Trips, Eyad leads the real field experience—from desert routes, 4×4 operations and camps to guest care and the small decisions that can turn a good trip into a meaningful one. Travelers often remember his warmth as much as the landscapes: they arrive as guests and leave feeling like friends.

The Company Behind the Journey
Local Operations. Thoughtful Planning. One Team.
Egypt Desert Trips is a jointly owned travel project created by Ahmed Hegazy and Eyad Elzaghandi. Ahmed leads the digital experience, content, booking journey and online communication, while Eyad leads local guiding, safari operations, camps, 4×4 logistics and guest care on the ground.
That partnership keeps what you see online connected to the people who will actually organize your trip. We explain the details clearly, plan around real local conditions and build each journey with the personal care that mass-market travel often loses.

Real vehicles, camps, guides and field logistics—not a generic itinerary on a screen.
Clear & Personal

Guest-First Care
Solo travelers, couples, families and groups are welcomed with the same attention.
