Spend two days from Cairo exploring Bahariya Oasis, the Black and White Deserts, Crystal Mountain, sand dunes, campfire dinner, and starry skies.

“Fantastic experience with a very friendly team of guides. The white and black desert locations were incredible and truly like a different world. We also got to see some wonderful spots at the oasis including the springs and salt lake. Getting to see a rural, off the beaten track, side of Egypt was a treat. We are very grateful to our guide for their hospitality, banter and for sharing their extensive knowledge.”
