Your desert adventure begins with an early morning departure from the bustling city of Cairo. As you leave behind the urban landscape, you'll gradually find yourself immersed in the tranquil charm of the Egyptian countryside.
Settle into your comfortable vehicle, equipped for the journey ahead, and enjoy a scenic drive through the changing landscapes of Egypt. It takes approximately 4 hours to Bahariya Oasis from Cairo.
Your Bahariya Oasis tour will begin with a visit to the Valley of the Golden Mummies, a vast burial site that was constructed during the Greco-Roman period. This valley is particularly noteworthy as it houses the best-preserved mummies from that era.
Next, you will explore the Tombs of the Nobles in Bahariya Oasis. This cemetery was reserved for the rulers of the region. Additionally, you will visit the Temple of Alexander the Great, where you can find the unique and rare cartouche of Alexander of Macedonia.
Your next stop will be the Temple of Meftella, which was not dedicated to a single deity but instead served multiple gods in ancient Egypt. Afterward, you will enjoy a delicious lunch before spending the remainder of the day marveling at the stunning sunset from the top of the Black Mountain enjoying unique and diverse landscapes.
