2-Day Bahariya Oasis & White Desert Safari
Overview
Getting away from Cairo’s crowd for just a couple of days can completely reset your mood, and this 2-day safari into the Western Desert is the best way to do it. The journey takes you off the highway and right onto rugged desert tracks in a 4x4 Jeep. You’ll pass through the dark, volcanic landscapes of the Black Desert before reaching the sparkling quartz rocks of Crystal Mountain.
Further in, the scenery opens up into the stunning Agabat Valley and the White Desert, where giant chalk formations rise straight out of the sand. As the sun sets, our Bedouin crew sets up a comfortable camp, cooks a fresh meal over the fire, and leaves you to enjoy one of the clearest starry night skies you'll ever see. After a relaxing soak in natural thermal springs the next morning, you’ll head back to your Cairo hotel rested and full of new stories.
Tour Plan
- Hotel Pickup in Cairo: We’ll pick you up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza and start the drive toward Bahariya Oasis. As you leave the city behind, the scenery gradually opens up, giving you a first look at the landscapes of Egypt’s Western Desert.
- Lunch at Bahariya Oasis: Once we arrive, we’ll stop for lunch before heading out into the desert. It’s a good chance to take a break and get ready for the adventure ahead.
- 4x4 Jeep Safari: After lunch, we’ll jump into a 4x4 Jeep and head out into the desert. The drive takes us across sandy tracks and through some of the rugged scenery around Bahariya Oasis.
-
- Agabat Valley: We’ll stop at Agabat Valley, where strange gray rock formations rise out of the white sand. There’s time to walk around, take photos, and enjoy the views before we continue to our campsite.
- Sunset in the Desert: Before settling in for the evening, we’ll find a good spot to watch the sun go down over the dunes and rocks. The colors change as the light fades, making this a great time to take a few photos.
- Bedouin Dinner & Camping: At camp, we’ll sit down to a Bedouin-style dinner and spend the night in the desert. Once it gets dark, you can relax by the camp and look up at the stars.
- Breakfast at Camp: We’ll have breakfast at the camp before packing up and heading out for our last stop in the desert.
- Visit the Natural Hot Springs: Continue to the natural hot springs, where you can spend some time enjoying the warm water and the quiet surroundings. It’s a relaxing way to round off your desert adventure.
- Drive Back to Cairo: After your visit, we’ll begin the return journey to Cairo. Sit back and enjoy the drive as the desert scenery gradually gives way to the city.
- Hotel Drop-Off: We’ll drop you off at your hotel in Cairo or Giza, bringing your 2-day Bahariya Oasis safari to an end.
