Voyage de 4 jours Le Caire, Alexandrie et le désert blanc

We travelled in our van 340 kilometres from Cairo to the Oasis Bahariya in the early hours of the morning.

Bahariya, the nearest oasis to Cairo, boasts 398 mineral and sulphur springs, some of which are used for medicinal purposes. The area is bordered by black hills of ferruginous quartzite and dolerite.

The itinerary includes visiting Gabal el Marsos, El Hez, Crystal Mountain, and Agabat el Sharkia. The journey covers 160 km to the White Desert, featuring cream-colored topography and wind-carved mushroom structures. Accommodation in Bahariya Oasis, dinner, and a break before returning to Cairo.

Pick up from Cairo or Giza at 7:00 am for 220 km journey to Alexandria. Arrive around 10:00 and visit Roman Theater, featuring marble seats, galleries, mosaic flooring, and a pleasure garden.

Visit Kom El-Catacomb, Shoqafa's burial site, featuring the Tri-cilium, where family members used to sit for feasting, and see second-century Roman-era statues of Sobec and Anubis.

After that, take a free stroll through El Mursi Abu Elabas, the Qaytbay Citadel, and the Alexandria Library along the Cornish.

At the conclusion of the expedition, you will be driven back to Cairo. At around 9:00 p.m., you'll be back in Cairo.

Lunch is offered between visits at a local restaurant, but beverages are not.

After breakfast, you depart your Cairo hotel and are picked up by our tour guide for a transfer to the international Cairo airport.
