Day 1: Cairo to Bahariya to the White Desert:

First, drive for four hours to reach Baharia Oasis, located 365 kilometers southeast of Cairo, leaving Cairo at 7:00 am. Once you arrive, have lunch at a nearby restaurant called Oasis. Then, you will head to the settlement of Bawiti—the capital of the Baharia Oasis—in a 4×4 vehicle with your Bedouin driver and guide. Along the way, savor the view of the verdant palm trees surrounded by massive dunes.

Afterward, take a dip in the thermal springs at Bir Al Matar and Bir El Ghaba. Next, ascend ‘English Mountain’ to witness the remnants of a British World War I station situated on the summit. Following that, proceed beyond the Salt Lake and enter the Black Desert, which is characterized by hills with black volcanic peaks. Then, visit the hot springs in El Haize Valley before marveling at Crystal Mountain, a glistening lump of crystal that rises majestically out of the sand.

The White Desert Camping

As you continue, enter the White Desert National Park after passing the enormous, rounded rocks of Agabat Valley. In this remarkable place, the wind has sculpted the stunning, dazzling white rock formations into spires, mushrooms, creatures, and other strange shapes. After that, enjoy some time to observe these spectral forms before you’re driven back to El Haize and your overnight campsite. Before settling in, take in a breathtaking desert sunset and enjoy a backyard barbecue meal beneath the stars. Finally, camp in the White Desert for the night, surrounded by the beauty of this magical landscape.

Day 2: White Desert to Bahariya Oasis to Cairo:

After having your breakfast and enjoying the serenity of the desert, take your 4×4 once again toward Bahariya. There, you will have some time to relax at the Oasis before getting back in your private vehicle to Cairo. Finally, return to Cairo, where your tour concludes at the starting point, around 5:00 p.m.

Alexandria! Wow!

November 7, 2024

Muhammad is the best! He showed me a world I never thought possible! The tombs in Alexandria by far was my favorite! I never knew there was a place on earth that contained both Greek and Egyptian carvings in the same tombs! The history and culture of Egypt is so fascinating! I highly recommend booking with Muhammad!

Despite a late start due to car trouble, Mohamed more than made up for it with his incredible knowledge and dedication. His explanations were detailed and thoughtful, and he went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. A memorable and informative tour, thanks to Mohamed’s hard work!

AMAZING TOUR, SOLO TRAVELER.

October 12, 2024

I am a California woman who traveled to Egypt alone and thanks to Egypt Fun Tours I had a great time. Hani, Mohammed, Kamal and David (my driver) were very professional and very knowledgeable, I appreciate how respectful they were and how protective they were with me.

They show me everything I wanted to see in Cairo and nearby places like Saqqara, Memphis, etc. Thanks to them I had a great time in Egypt, they were so so helpful than on my second day they helped me to move from my hotel in Giza to the Steigenberger hotel in downtown Cairo.

The tour price is super good includes a guide (expert in the field) a driver, lunch and drinks, they took me to amazing places for lunch, the food was super super delicious, for a foodie like me that was a highlight. We went out fo the tourist traps and I got to see the Cairo that if you are in a bus tour you will never get to see.

This tour is personalized for each person depending of what you want to see and do, I absolutely love it.

I used WhatsApp to communicate with Hani and arranged all my tours, Hani was super super nice since the moment I contacted him and explained him what I wanted to do and see.

Hani and his group mesmerized me with the tours they put together, this is a memory I will keep for lifetime.

I had only good things to say about them and I highly recommend them.

I did visit the pyramids in Giza, downtown Cairo, new Cairo, several museums, Coptic Cairo and Muslim Cairo with them and I learned a lot from them, I felt like they were family to me and it was EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT.

If I go back to Egypt I will hire them again without hesitation.

David I take my hat off for you because I have NO IDEA how you can drive in crazy Cairo, thanks to all of you for making this lady’s dream a reality.
