Description
Hi, I am Loly, a desert tour guide of Bedouin descent. I am looking for volunteers who have experience with website development, online marketing, and marketing to tourism agencies, hotels, etc. I like to work with volunteers who can think outside of the box and come up with new ideas and initiatives about how to increase my visibility within the marketplace, and can also help to expand my business.
From my business website: "We come from one of the oldest Bedouin families who support us with all the secrets of the ancient and historical Western Desert, helping us to remain one of the most famous & experienced tour guides along the desert roads!
We have the best equipment and supplies allowing us to cover your needs whatever they may be.

Our week in the magical Bahariya Oasis with Loly was unforgettably amazing and almost let us leave with tears.
Loly is one of the most warm-hearted people we’ve ever met and our comfort and well-being were his top priority. It was a pleasure to have deep conversations, exchange views, learn from him, and spend time with him and his amazing family… read more

Overall, I had an amazing experience with Loly. I stayed with him for 5 days even tho I had to stay for a week but for some personal issues I had to come back to Cairo, and he was flexible with it. Loly was very helpful from the beginning till the end of my stay. He made sure I arrived safe to bahariya even though it is a bit complex for tourist.… read more

Was great to see something of the real Egypt, all made possible by Loly! Was just what I wanted, to step outside of the 'rushing around the key sights, two days here, three days there,' and instead to bed down and get into the rhythm of the local life. Loly made sure I was never short of teas, coffees, lunches, and, of course, shisha, as I made… read more

After reading all the great reviews and having a couple email conversations back & forth with Loly I had a lot confidence that my time spent helping him with his business needs would be a great opportunity. I spent a week with Loly and the time spent with him was even better than I could have imagined.
