Tour Plan

After a delicious breakfast at 7:00 AM, your driver will meet you and take you in an air-conditioned vehicle to begin the journey to Bahariya Oasis (approximately 4 hours).

  • Along the way, there will be a short stop at a rest house for a refreshing break (to eat or drink something).
  • Arrival at Bahariya Oasis (around 11:30 AM), where you will switch vehicles to a safari car.
  • You will meet the local Bedouin guide who will accompany you to the main desert attractions.
  • Sand Dune Area: You will discover high dunes, some reaching up to 50 meters in height. There will be opportunities to take memorable photos atop one of the dunes.
  • Black Desert: You’ll then head to the Black Desert, where you'll see a sand mountain covered with black stones and minerals such as coal and iron, called "El Marsos Mountain." We'll take some photos in this area shaped by volcanic activity.
  • El Haiz Village: You'll head to the village of El Haiz for lunch and a short break. Here you will also have the chance to purchase handmade Bedouin-style souvenirs.
  • Aqabat Area: We'll depart for the Aqabat area, known for its limestone hills and magnificent natural rock formations. The name means “obstacles,” as it used to take three days to cross the area by camel.
  • White Desert: We will enter the White Desert, an area resembling a lunar landscape, with white sand that looks like snow and rock formations that resemble human heads, plants, or animal shapes, sculpted by strong winds.
    You’ll have time to explore and take photos while watching the sunset. The light will change the surface colors from orange to purple, creating a truly unique atmosphere.

After sunset, we will take you back to Cairo in an air-conditioned vehicle.
