Fascinating White Desert Camping & Bahariya Oasis Tours from Cairo

There is no doubt that desert camping is difficult to work because you need particular equipment and off-road vehicles.
The surface of the desert is this area that was once the bottom of the ocean some 40 million years ago, leaving behind the conventional tourist attractions and the classical sites of Egypt. This adventure is very special to the oasis of Bahariya in the Western Egyptian desert to discover the ancient world, a world that is way older than mankind.

Detailed itinerary of the White Desert Camping
Day 1: Overnight Camping in White Desert & Dinner Under the Stars
You will depart from Cairo at 07:00 for the 4-hour drive to the El Bahariya Oasis. Here you will change vehicles and jump on a 4X4 jeep for a thrilling ride along rugged roads to the incredible White Desert. This unique landscape is set in a depression, and its intriguing aspect is the result of the chalk rock formations caused by sandstorms and the chalk deposits that settle on the ground.
You will also visit the Black Desert where the sand is caked with a gold and black crust. Nestled between the two deserts, the start of Crystal Mountain offers yet more wondrous sights and is best known for its quartz crystals. Arriving at camp you will find spacious well-ventilated dome tents equipped with mattresses, blankets, sleeping bags, and bedsheets. Enjoy a delicious dinner before retiring for a night beneath the stars.
Day 2: El Bahariya Oasis Tours
After a delightful breakfast in the White Desert, you will return to El Bahariya Oasis for a tour of the city home to Bedouin tribes for centuries. You will have the services of an expert Egyptologist guide to answer all of your questions and provide insights into the area’s intriguing history.
After lunch, you will visit the ruins of the temple of Alexander the Great and the tombs of the nobles at the Valley of the Golden Mummies.
You will then join a camel caravan for a 1-hour trip through the desert landscape. Depending on time, there may also be a chance to enjoy a bath in a thermal spring before your transfer back to Cairo for your hotel drop-off or at Cairo airport for your onward travels.
