Basic
Picture this: two days and one night of exploring, learning, and living like the Bedouins. This isn’t just a trip—it’s a journey into Egypt’s otherworldly White Desert, where surreal landscapes meet warm, authentic hospitality. Imagine standing among limestone formations shaped like mushrooms and animals, swapping stories by a crackling campfire, and waking up to a sunrise you’ll never forget.
What to Expect
Your adventure begins with a scenic 4-hour drive from Cairo to Bahariya Oasis. From there, your Bedouin guide will take you on a 4×4 desert safari through dramatic landscapes—the black volcanic hills of the Black Desert, the sparkling Crystal Mountain, and the breathtaking Aqabat Valley. You’ll camp in the heart of the White Desert, where you’ll enjoy a traditional dinner under a sky full of stars. It’s an immersive experience that blends natural wonder with cultural connection.
