Desert Safari Tour to Gara Cave and Bahariya Oasis

Your day starts with a delicious Egyptian breakfast before setting off for an adventurous exploration of the Gaghra Cave. You will drive 170 km over rough terrain while exploring ancient civilizations and passing through the village of Bahariya Harra. Along the way, enjoy breathtaking views of the desert landscape and a delicious lunch near the lower base of the dunes. As the day fades, you can enjoy a sumptuous dinner under a blanket of twinkling stars, savoring the peaceful desert atmosphere before camping for the night.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.

After breakfast, a licensed guide will take you to the amazing Gara Cave (also known as Djara Cave), a natural wonder created by rain erosion in limestone over 55 million years ago. The cave has sparkling rocks, magical stalactites, and stalagmites caused by the dripping water through the stone. Here, artefacts, and ancient rock drawings that were found testify to human presence in prehistory, probably, in the late Neolithic period. Then, you will go on an off-road ride to the wonderful Valley of Agabat where you will be astonished by the amazing difference in the huge white rock and the golden sand of the White Desert. The day will end with a night camping in this fantastic place.

After having your breakfast, the off-road adventure will proceed to Ain Khadra, where the bubbling spring is going to be present. This old water well is located beside a single palm tree that is on the hill, and it is surrounded by pottery remains from the Roman, Coptic, and medieval times. Have a great picnic lunch before you go to the Santa tree (Acacia tree) and the White Desert where you will see the beautiful limestone formations. The White Desert is famous for its cream-colored limestone rocks, which include the very interesting shapes like a sphinx, a whale, and a rabbit. You will spend the night camping in this amazing desert which is completely covered in white chalky sand.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.

On the final day of your incredible Desert Safari to Gara Cave, start with a hearty breakfast before your journey back to Cairo. As you pass through Bahariya Oasis, you’ll visit the stunning Crystal Mountains, known for their translucent, jewel-like rocks that sparkle like diamonds—truly one of the world’s most extraordinary natural wonders. 

You’ll also explore the Black Desert, where eroded mountains have left a layer of black dust and rocks, creating a surreal landscape. Continue to El Haize Village, where you can relax by a refreshing water spring before completing your drive back to Cairo.
