Escape the city for a surreal adventure with our Bahariya Oasis and White Desert tour. This 2-day expedition takes you deep into Egypt’s Western Desert, where the landscape shifts from golden dunes to volcanic peaks and chalk-white sculptures. On this Bahariya Oasis and White Desert tour, you will trade the sounds of Cairo for the silence of the Sahara, culminating in an unforgettable night of camping under a blanket of stars.
The highlight of the Bahariya Oasis and White Desert tour is the overnight camping experience. The White Desert National Park is world-famous for its unique wind-carved chalk formations that resemble giant mushrooms, chickens, and tents. As night falls, our Bedouin team prepares a traditional BBQ dinner over a campfire. Sleeping in the heart of the desert allows you to witness the Milky Way with incredible clarity—a highlight of any Bahariya Oasis and White Desert tour.
During your Bahariya Oasis and White Desert tour, you will also explore the starkly beautiful Black Desert. This area is defined by volcanic hills covered in black dolerite, offering a sharp contrast to the white sands nearby. We also stop at Crystal Mountain, a natural ridge made entirely of quartz crystals, and the stunning El Agabat area, where massive limestone cliffs rise from the sand. For thrill-seekers, we include sandboarding on the softest dunes of the Great Sand Sea.
