Highlights

Black Desert - the black desert is a region of volcano-shaped and widely spaced mounds, distributed along about 30 km in western Egypt between the White Desert in the south and the Bahariya Oasis in the north. Most of its mounds are capped by basalt sills, giving them the characteristic black color,

Crystal Mountain, Egypt - The Crystal Mountain is a crystal ridge located between Bahariya Oasis and Farafra Oasis

White Desert - White Desert National Park is a national park in Egypt, first established as a protected area in 2002. It is located in the Farafra depression, 45 km north of the town of Farafra. Part of the park is in the Farafra Oasis (New Valley Governorate).

The park is the site of large white chalk rock formations, created through erosion by wind and sand. It is also the site of cliffs (at the northern end of the Farafra Depression), sand dunes (part of the Great Sand Sea), as well as Wadi Hennis and oases at Ain El Maqfi and Ain El Wadi.

The highest point in the park is at El Qess Abu Said (353 m above sea level) and the lowest is at Wadi Hennis (32m).

The park serves as the refuge for various animals, including the endangered Rhim gazelle and the vulnerable Dorcas gazelle, as well as Barbary sheep; jackals; Rüppell’s, Red, and Fennec foxes; and Sand cats.

Unforgettable experience - Not enough can be said about this experience, our tour guide was incredible, very knowledgeable about the desert, awesome off road driver and a great cook too. Sleeping outside under the night starry sky with a small fire next to us was mind blowing. I won’t say much more to not ruin the surprise. If you’re considering I suggest you go for it and do it 😁

I definitely recommend!! - The tour is totally worth it!!! I highly recommend!! The photos tell by their own, I was so glad to have found this tour. Amir was extremely professional and assisted me every time I needed. His desert driver was well experienced and showed us the best spots to visit. Also, he prepared delicious dishes and offered water when we needed. I felt safe!

Memorable Experience - The tour is worth it. We had so much fun during this trip. The food is good especially the BBQ dinner. Sleeping under the stars is something that you wouldn't forget for the rest of your life.

Very good experience - Very good experience which changes from the Egyptian archaeological visits to do when you spend more than 10 days. Well organized, no fuss as can be common in Egypt.

Not for the faint hearted - As the itinerary states you start at 6am and have a 4+hour drive to the oasis. But what it doesn't tell you is that you won't reach the campsite until roughly 7pm. The 4x4 jeeps were barely road-worthy and appeared to be falling apart. Got stuck or over heated several times. We were thrown about in the back on a bench seat for what felt like forever (about 6 hours). Do not recommend if you suffer travel sickness. You stop off at so many locations each one looking almost identical to the last. Unfortunately, it was a full moon so the stars were barely visible. You would've thought the trips would not operate on these days as it was sold as sleeping under the stars. The highlight of the trip was the food provided for lunch and dinner. Would also advise taking your own snacks.
