Best White and Black Desert Tour - Omar, Mido, and Islam created a very fun and memorable experience in the white and black desert! The desert was beautiful and the jeep tour was very fun. Camping under the start was a once in a lifetime experience. Highly recommend adding this tour to your Egypt itinerary!

Desert Safari White and Black desert - Amazing trip into the deep desert with Omar (guide) and Mido ( driver/cook). Lots of spectacular rock formations plus an excellent local meal served over campfire. Easy trip for adults and teens.

The most amazing Egypt experience! - We debated about booking this trip because of safety concerns. I’m so glad we didn’t allow preconceived notions to keep us from this safari. It was amazing!
Our guide, Omar, driver Islam, and driver/camp chef Mido treated our family to a trek into the desert.
After about a 4 hour car ride from Cairo to Bahariya Oasis, we were served a traditional Egyptian lunch in a Bedouin restaurant. There, we transferred to a 4-wheel drive SUV, and the fun began.
Our group made stops at the Black Desert for a hike, the Crystal mountain where we collected quartz-like rocks, the old White Desert for photos, and finally the New White Desert for sunset views and to set up camp.
Mido and Omar jumped into action while we explored the otherworldly destination. Upon our return the campsite, we found tents and bedding set up for our family, and Mido was working hard on our dinner.
After a delicious dinner of coal-grilled chicken, Egyptian rice, vegetable/pasta soup, and spicy vegetables, we enjoyed Bedouin mint tea around the fire.
We all slept soundly in our tents under the full moon and awoke to a beautiful sunrise and breakfast with eggs, breads, spreads and coffee and tea. We hated to leave the quiet serenity of the White Desert. But Omar had a surprise for us. We stopped to enjoy a dip into a hot Sulphur springs. Delightful and a great way to rinse off the sand.
We were safely delivered back to our hotel in Cairo with so many lovely memories of our time in the desert.
I highly recommend this tour.

must-see in Egypt - Best experience in Egypt so far.
Black desert, Crystal Mountain and White desert are a growing up of emotions.
The sunset, the night sky with billions of stars and the colours of dawn will stay in my memories forever. It really worths the trip.
Our guide has been super nice and kind, as well for the beduin driver. Me and my family had fun in the off-road ride and sand boarding.
The sites are stunning, perfect location for your pictures and Instagram posts

Beautiful night in the white desert - This was a wonderful experience I made with my family. We saw spectacular places.Everything was carefully planned by our guide. From Cairo through the black desert, the christal mountain, to the white desert. The sunset, the silence and the stars in the desert is something that everyone should experience.
