Start your adventure at 6:00 AM with a pickup from your hotel in Giza or Cairo for a scenic drive to Bahariya Oasis, located approximately 350 km east of Cairo. This 4-hour journey takes you through a landscape steeped in history, where ancient travelers would wait for passing caravans to journey between the Nile Valley and the oasis. During the trip, there will be two coffee breaks. Along the way, you will pass by the railways used to transport iron ore to the steel mills of Helwan-though not a tourist attraction, it’s an interesting part of Egypt’s industrial history. Bahariya Oasis is the primary source of iron ore in Egypt, extracted from middle Eocene limestone deposits in four regions called Managim.

Upon arrival at Bahariya Oasis at 10:00 AM, you will meet your Safari guide and begin your adventure. Hop into your 4x4 Jeep for a thrilling ride to the Black Desert. The name derives from the black powder that coats its mountains and sand dunes. At 12:00 PM, stop for lunch in the El Haize Oasis, located 37 km from Bawiti. This oasis was once a prosperous Roman settlement, and many of the current inhabitants have Libyan ancestry. Before lunch, take a relaxing dip in the natural hot springs of El Haize, which offer instant stress relief by loosening tense muscles and promoting a sense of calm and well-being.

After lunch, you will visit the Water Museum in El Haize, which showcases the importance of underground water in the desert and the ancient Egyptian tools used for irrigation. At 1:00 PM, continue your journey to the Valley of Agabat, arriving around 2:00 PM.

Next, explore the desert by 4x4 Jeep, discovering the captivating Wadi el Agabat and enjoy sandboarding in the desert's golden sands. At 4:30 PM, arrive at the White Desert National Park, one of Egypt's most famous desert destinations, known for its unique rock formations that resemble animals such as a chicken, sphinx, camels, and mushrooms.

As the day draws to a close at 5:30 PM, set up camp and enjoy the sunset over the desert. Watch as the sky transforms into shades of pink and fiery orange while the rock shapes fade into the distance, enveloping you in the serene silence of the desert. Enjoy a simple yet delicious meal of chicken, rice, and vegetables, prepared by your Bedouin staff, while sitting around a campfire under the vast, starlit sky.

At 6:30 PM, the camp is set up for your overnight stay, where you'll spend the night in traditional desert tents. Please note that temperatures in the White Desert can drop significantly at night, so a proper jacket is recommended for comfort. Don’t worry, we provide all necessary camping equipment including sleeping bags, tents, and mattresses for a comfortable desert camping experience.

This White Desert Safari is a unique and immersive experience, perfect for adventurers looking to explore Egypt's hidden desert landscapes and enjoy a tranquil, starlit night in one of the most remote and breathtaking locations on Earth.

At 7:00 AM, enjoy a delicious breakfast in the desert, surrounded by the vast and peaceful dunes, before heading back to Bahariya Oasis. At 9:00 AM, on your return journey, you’ll stop at Crystal Mountain, also known locally as Gebel al-Izzaz. This stunning natural formation, often referred to as the “Jewel of the Desert,” is a crystal hill made up of brilliant quartzite crystals that sparkle in the sunlight, creating an almost magical view. Discovered only a few decades ago, it’s a true gem of the desert.

At 11:00 AM, continue your journey to Bahariya Oasis and experience the rejuvenating effects of Bir Sigam, a hot spring located just 7 km east of Bahariya on the Cairo road. The spring is known for its therapeutic qualities and is especially soothing, offering relaxation and relief. During the summer months, you can also make a stop at Bir Madi, a cold spring, providing a refreshing alternative.

By 12:00 PM, begin your drive back to Cairo, with an expected arrival time of 4:30 PM. From there, you’ll board a flight to Aswan and will be transferred to your hotel in Bahariya for a relaxing evening.
