Itinerary

Day 1: Cairo to Bahariya Oasis – Black Desert & White Desert Exploration

Start your journey with an early morning hotel pickup, leaving Cairo’s bustle behind for the serene Egyptian Sahara. Upon arrival at Bahariya Oasis, enjoy a delicious lunch in Bawiti, the oasis capital, before switching to a 4x4 off-road vehicle for an exhilarating desert adventure.
Begin by exploring the surreal Black Desert, known for its volcanic hills and dark-hued sands. 

 

Continue to Al-Hez Village, a traditional Bedouin settlement, where you'll visit Bir Kabreeti, a warm sulfuric spring known for its therapeutic properties. Proceed to the stunning Agabat Valley, where golden dunes meet limestone formations, creating an otherworldly landscape. 

 

As the sun begins to set, arrive at your campsite in the White Desert, famous for its chalky rock formations sculpted by time into unique shapes resembling mushrooms and animals.
End the day with a traditional Bedouin dinner, a mesmerizing campfire, and a night under the stars, where the sky paints an HD celestial map.

Day 2: Gara Cave Expedition – A Journey into Prehistoric Wonders

Wake up early to capture the breathtaking sunrise as the desert sky transforms into pink, gold, and violet hues. Enjoy a peaceful breakfast before setting off towards the Gara Cave.
On the way, stop at Ain Serw, a mystical spring that only flows when approached—a rare natural phenomenon. Drive through the majestic Ghuroud Karawin dunes, where endless waves of golden sand stretch as far as the eye can see.

 

Arrive at Gara Cave, an ancient limestone cavern formed over 55 million years ago. This cave contains stalactites, fossilized marine remains, and prehistoric engravings that hint at a time when this desert was once an ocean. After an insightful exploration, savor a delicious lunch before heading back toward the White Desert.

 

Witness a stunning desert sunset, casting shadows over the surreal landscape. Spend another night camping, soaking in the absolute silence and grandeur of the Sahara.
