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.
