Cairo – Bahariya Oasis – White Desert
In the morning you will be picked up from your hotel or port in Cairo by an air-conditioned vehicle that takes you to the Oasis of Bahariya via the Desert Road. After arrival there you will have lunch, after which your private guide will take you for a visit of the Temple of Ain El Muftella, a Roman water source and the small local museum in Bawiti, the main town of Bahariya, where finds from the surrounding ruins, including golden and painted treasures from the Valley of the Golden Mummies, as well as some of the mummies themselves have been collected. Visit the beautifully painted tomb of Banantio, an ancient Egyptian dignitary from the 26th Dynasty. The tomb was used more than once, by Banantio himself for his burial, and later by the Romans who had rediscovered the tomb and used it to bury their own people. After this visit you will be transferred to your hotel in Bahariya where you spend your first night.
(Meals included: lunch and dinner)
White Desert – Black Desert – Bahariya Oasis
After breakfast you will be picked up from your hotel to start your safari by an air-conditioned 4×4 Jeep through the Black Desert to the magical White Desert, which is the largest in the world. You will see beautiful rock formations in the shapes of mushroom and more. Marvel at the White Chalk formations, a fantastic illustration of what wind can do, these chalk formations have stood the test of the elements. Hundreds of these eroded white chalk structures are scattered within walking distance. Shaped like animals, these structures are a fascinating site to behold. Watch the sunset whilst sipping soothing Bedouin tea before an authentic Bedouin camp fire dinner. Your accommodation is in a traditional Bedouin tent, directly under the idyllic stars. Take a moment to star-gaze, spot a shooting star or enjoy a clear night sky.
(Meals included: breakfast, lunch and dinner
Bahariya Oasis – Cairo
You can start your day with a beautiful sunrise in the desert, after which you have breakfast. For those feeling more adventurous, climb one of the many soft peaks, and enjoy some spectacular views. Despite its name, Crystal Mountain is less of a mountain and rather more of a ridge or hill of crystal limestone, scattered on the formations themselves and across the ground. A naturally formed arch illustrates the force at which wind can carve through some of nature’s strongest structures. Drive back to Cairo and continue your explorations.
(Meals included: breakfast)
