What To Expect
Safari Trip to Bahariya - Black Desert - Old & New White Desert

Along the scenic drive to Bahariya Oasis, enjoy relaxing coffee breaks and glimpses of Egypt’s iron-rich landscape. Upon arrival, meet your expert 4×4 safari guide and set off for the dramatic Black Desert, where volcanic hills rise from the sand in striking contrast. Refresh at El Haize Oasis’s natural hot springs, savor a traditional Egyptian lunch, and explore the Water Museum’s fascinating exhibits. Marvel at the glittering quartzite of Crystal Mountain, then journey through the surreal Valley of Agabat, where towering limestone formations and soft dunes invite you to try sandboarding. As the sun sets, enter the magical White Desert National Park, famous for its wind-sculpted chalk formations resembling camels, mushrooms, and more. Settle into your Bedouin camp, enjoy a delicious BBQ dinner by the fire, and gaze up at a sky ablaze with stars, surrounded by the peaceful silence of the desert. Anticipate the wonders of dawn in this otherworldly landscape.
