Excursion to the Bahariya Oasis – 2 days/1 night

About this tour

Our tour will begin from a hotel in Cairo or Giza and When you arrive at the oasis, you will find your driver waiting with the jeep and camping equipment. First, we will have a light lunch, then we will start the program. The first stop is the sand dune, then you will see the Black Desert. This desert got its name from its mountains and hills covered with black powder, due to the remnants of volcanic eruptions that have dried over millions of years. Next, you will see the Bedouin village and the very hot, sulfurous water wells, then you will see Crystal Mountain. Crystal Mountain is considered a jewel and one of the richest treasures in the heart of the White Desert. The mountain is one of the most beautiful natural areas in the White Desert National Park. It is a mountain made of crystalline rock, unique in that its shiny, crystalline pieces are among the most precious rocks in the world, and it has become one of the most important tourist attractions, especially for its breathtakingly beautiful landscapes. Then you will see the Valley of Obstacles, which is considered a piece of Mars on Egyptian soil. The Valley of Obstacles was formed more than 80 million years ago, as a result of erosion in the Western Desert, where hundreds of rocky hills with giant chalky peaks, dating back to ancient times, were formed. After that, we will stop at the Mushroom Rock formation and then at the new White Desert area. The White Desert is one of the most beautiful landscapes in Egypt and the world, and it is completely different from anywhere else on the planet. The White Desert boasts some unusual rock formations. Located in western Egypt, the White Desert is a hidden treasure of wonders in the country. People who travel through these western desert regions often feel as if they are visiting another planet. They watch the sunset, camp under the stars and moon, enjoy a barbecue over charcoal, and drink Bedouin tea. When it’s time to sleep, they have a small tent, two blankets, a mattress, and a sleeping bag. In the morning, they watch the sunrise, have breakfast, and then go on a desert tour. They see various rock formations, such as the famous “mushroom” formations, and formations resembling animals like a rabbit, a snake, a camel, Nefertiti, and a chicken. They also see formations that look like horses and other animals. Then they return to the oasis and back to Cairo. This is a two-day, one-night desert camping trip.
