Travel to the Bahariya Oasis and the White Desert on an unforgettable overnight adventure, full of memorable scenery and desert wonders. The adventure commences with a pickup from Cairo and a four-hour scenic drive to Bahariya Oasis which is lush in the heart of Egypt's Western Desert from Cairo. To arrive at a local oasis-style restaurant to enjoy lunch, then enjoy the rest of the afternoon dining and venturing into the desert terrain.
The afternoon takes you towards the White Desert, stopping at some awe-inspiring natural features along the way. Explore the bizarre black volcanic formations of the Black Desert; visit the El Haize Valley with its refreshing natural springs; and admire the earth's glimmering quartz crystals at Crystal Mountain. Now continue towards that unique-in-this-world Valley of Agabat, where golden dunes and wind-eroded rocks create a marvelous configuration: here, you would have the thrilling experience of sandboarding downwards down the pliable slopes in the desert.
The sun will have set by the time you reach the campsite at White Desert. Towering chalk rock formations glow under the fading light. Feast on a freshly cooked Bedouin-style meal while soaking in the serene ambiance of the desert. Spend the night under a star-laden sky, far from city lights. The next day will find you awake to the view of the rising sun over the White Desert, a perfect end to your desert safari before you head back to Cairo.
