What awaits you
The White Desert (Sahara el Beyda National Park) is a landscape of chalk rocks shaped by the wind into mushrooms, chickens and sphinxes. Next to it lie the Black Desert, with hills covered in dark volcanic stones, and Crystal Mountain, a ridge of quartz.
- The drive from Cairo to the Bahariya oasis, lunch and hot springs.
- 4x4 jeeps through the Black Desert and to Crystal Mountain.
- Sunset and a night in a desert camp in the White Desert, dinner by the campfire.
- Sunrise among the chalk formations and the return to Cairo.
Who it suits
This is the most unusual trip you can take from Cairo: no crowds, no cities, just the desert and the stars. Facilities in the camp are basic, so it suits travellers who are comfortable with one night of simple camping.
