Tour Itinerary

1st day: Cairo to Bahariya to the White Desert

Depart Cairo at 7:00 AM for a four-hour drive to Bahariya Oasis, located 365 kilometers southeast. Upon arrival, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant called Oasis. Then, travel to Bawiti, the capital of Bahariya, in a 4×4 vehicle with your Bedouin driver and guide, taking in views of lush palm trees and towering dunes.

Afterward, relax in the thermal springs at Bir Al Matar and Bir El Ghaba. Next, hike up ‘English Mountain’ to see the remnants of a British World War I station. Continue past the Salt Lake into the Black Desert, known for its black volcanic hills, and visit the hot springs in El Haize Valley before marveling at Crystal Mountain, a stunning crystal formation.

As you enter the White Desert National Park, witness the incredible white rock formations shaped by the wind into unique spires and mushrooms. After exploring, return to El Haize for your overnight campsite. Enjoy a spectacular desert sunset followed by a barbecue dinner under the stars, then camp for the night surrounded by the enchanting landscape.

Day 2: White Desert to Bahariya Oasis to Cairo

After breakfast and some time to soak in the desert’s tranquility, take your 4×4 back to Bahariya. Relax at the Oasis before returning to Cairo, where your tour concludes around 5:00 PM.

Amazing trip with Egypt Fun Tours

We had the time of our lives on a trip to Egypt and the Bahariya/White Desert with Egypt Fun Tours, too. I would highly recommend this company. They are very familiar with organizing this trip, and this means they are well-connected in the desert area. This was invaluable to us

AMAZING Layover Tour

We had the MOST amazing layover tour with Egypt Fun Tours. Hanni was amazing, and we loved every moment. Pyramids, authentic food, and Islamic Cairo – amazing!

4 Days Group Tour Across the Treasures of Cairo Egypt Fun Tours min 1

Point blank: taking a tour w/ Egypt Fun Tours was the absolute best decision I could’ve made!

I found this company (thanks Trip Advisor!) very last minute and was so happy to read the great reviews. Reaching out to this company was a no-brainer, despite the fact that I’d done so a few hours before my flight to Egypt. Even better was that Hamada responded via WhatsApp

Very Considerate and Helpful

Guide and driver were on time, open to my requests and took care that I felt safe and saw the Pyramids and parts of old cairo during my less than 24 hour stay between flights. Office staff were great in communicating by email before and during the trip.

Outstanding! The absolute best way to see and do as much as you can in a short amount of time.

A friend and I had one day to spend in Cairo. Egypt Fun Tours–and tour guide Hani–came highly recommended by another friend who used them on a long layover. We were extremely impressed. For only about US$100, two people had a guide, driver, and car to ourselves for an entire

Big tick off our bucket list!

Booked the evening before and were able to do everything we hoped to in a day, with a knowledgeable guide & at a reasonable price! Lunch was included and absolutely delicious! Learnt about the history of Egypt, which was the most important part of sightseeing in Cairo/Giza. Hamada also gave
