Tour Plan

Day 1

At 06:00 AM, pick up an appointment from your hotel in Giza or Cairo, then drive to Bahariya Oasis, which is located about 350 kilometers east of Cairo. This trip takes about 4 hours, arriving at 10:00, and there will be a stop during the trip for a bathroom. And a cafe.

At 10:00 you will take your 4x4 jeep and drive to the Black Desert
12:00 Lunch will be served here at Al-Haiza Oasis
13:00 Then head to Agabat Valley
15:00 Arriving at Wadi Agabat, deep in the White Desert, you have to be there to feel the beauty of the outdoors. Millions of years ago, the place was under the sea. Over the years, unique rock formations of limestone and chalk (and possibly sand) have developed.
16:30 Discover the White Desert National Park, the most famous desert destination in Egypt.
17:30 We make tents and enjoy the sunset
18:30 As the sky turns pink and then deeper shades of fiery orange, the rock forms fade away, and silence falls all around. Sitting around a small fire and enjoying the simplest meal of chicken, rice, and vegetables, you'll feel like you've never had one at all. The Bedouin staff will arrange dinner and camping in the desert.

Day 2

06:00 AM Enjoy the sunrise
At 07:00 AM you will enjoy breakfast in the desert before driving to Bahariya Oasis
At 09:00 on the way back you will visit Crystal Mountain, Crystal Mountain, known locally as Jabal Al Azaz. It is more of a crystal hill, seen on the right, which is often called the Jewel of the Desert and is composed of quartzite crystals and looks stunning in the sunlight. A few decades ago, this natural feature was found by accident.
11:00 Drive to Bahariya Oasis, soak in the heat at Bir Sigam, a hot spring that can help you relax. Located 7 km east of Bahariya on the Cairo Road, Al-Rabie is the hottest hot spring in terms of temperature.

12:00 then return to Cairo. Arrival to Cairo at 16:30
