About This Activity

 

Day 1: Cairo – Bahariya Oasis – White Desert

At 07:00 a.m., following breakfast at your hotel in Cairo, you will be met by your professional Nile Holiday tour guide and driver. You will then begin a scenic drive of approximately 360 km (around 4–5 hours) to Bahariya Oasis. Upon arrival, you will transfer to a comfortable 4x4 Land Cruiser to start your desert adventure.

Your journey continues to El Heiz, a traditional Bedouin village, where you will enjoy a freshly prepared lunch in a peaceful oasis setting. Afterward, you will explore some of Egypt’s most remarkable desert landscapes, including the Black Desert with its volcanic hills, sweeping sand dunes, the sparkling Crystal Mountain, and the dramatic Aqabat Valley.

As the day progresses, you will drive toward the White Desert National Park, famous for its surreal chalk rock formations sculpted over thousands of years by wind and sand. Upon arrival at the camping area, the crew will set up your desert camp among these unique natural sculptures. Take time to relax, walk through the formations, and enjoy a breathtaking sunset over the White Desert.

Later in the evening, you will be transferred back to the campsite near Al Heiz for an overnight stay under the stars. Dinner will be served at the camp, offering a memorable desert dining experience.
Lunch and Dinner is included.
