Black and White Desert Camping

Black and White Desert Camping

Enjoy the drive into Egypt's western desert and visit the Crystal Mountain. Discover the valley of the Golden Mummies. Explore the famous White Desert and Black Desert. Explore the capital city of Bawiti, Bahariya, with its lush palm groves and giant dunes.

At 7am on day one, your tour guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo and take you to Bahariya Oasis, about 350 km east. This journey takes about 4 hours: lunch will be served at a local restaurant at Bahariya oasis. From here, you will continue on to the Black Desert, and the natural hot springs in the Valley of El Haize, before driving to the quartz crystals at Crystal Mountain, and the rocky formations in the Valley of Agabat.

 

Later on day one, explore the White Desert National Park, the most well-known desert destination in Egypt. The quantity of unearthly and beautiful wind-carved rock formations shaped in the form of giant mushrooms or pebbles is unequaled by any desert in the world. Arrive at the White Desert by sunset, and our Bedouin staff will arrange dinner and desert camping.

On day 2, you'll enjoy breakfast in the desert, before driving to Bahariya Oasis to get some rest and take a shower. Then drive back to Cairo.
