Highlights

Start tour at 06:00 Am and drive for around 5 hours to Bahariya Oasis. Upon arrival will take Jeep to our attractions.

Black Desert - Black Desert located approximately 50 km to the South of Bawiti. The mountains have eroded to coat the desert with a layer of black powder and rocks giving it its name. Towards the end of the Black Desert are black volcanic hills that ages ago erupted a dark volcanic material called dolerite, which is what the black rocks are made of.

Valley of Agabat - Agabat is a small valley of unusually beautiful mountain formations. Here, the white cliffs common to the White Desert meet the dunes and the yellow limestone rocks of Sahara.

White Desert - These sculptural formations are best viewed at sunrise or sunset, when the sun lights them with orangey-pink hues, or under a full moon, which gives the landscape a ghostly Arctic appearance. The sand around the outcroppings is littered with quartz and different varieties of deep-black iron pyrites, as well as small fossils.

Early morning, wake up to get breakfast and visit last site before return back to Cairo. Arrive Cairo around 07:00 Pm.

Bahariya Oasis Guide - Will drive back to Bawiti to get lunch before drive back to Cairo

The best encounter thus far! - I cannot express how amazing my experience in Egypt was with Hassan Elsisy and Meditation Holidays. From the moment I landed, everything was perfectly organized and hassle-free. The guide, Hassan, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, adding a personal touch to the historical sites we visited. I have been to Egypt multiple times, but this trip truly stood out as the best one yet. The attention to detail and personalized service made me feel like a VIP. I highly recommend booking a trip with Hassan Elsisy and Meditation Holidays for anyone looking to have an unforgettable experience in Egypt. Thank you for a truly unforgettable adventure.

A Magical Desert Experience - We woke up to a stunning sunrise and were greeted by wild camels and tiny foxes roaming around the desert. It was a truly magical experience to see these animals in their natural habitat. Hassan truly made this trip excellent with his hospitality and knowledge of the desert. He made us feel comfortable and safe throughout the trip.

A Surreal Landscape Like No Other - The white desert itself is truly unreal. The vast expanse of white sand and rock formations created a surreal landscape that I have never seen anywhere else. It felt like we were walking on another planet. The unique formations and the way the sunlight hit them made for some stunning photographs.
