Highlights

Most of its mounds are capped by basalt sills, giving them the characteristic black color,

Crystal Mountain, Egypt - The Crystal Mountain is a crystal ridge located between Bahariya Oasis and Farafra Oasis

White Desert - White Desert National Park is a national park in Egypt, first established as a protected area in 2002. It is located in the Farafra depression, 45 km north of the town of Farafra. Part of the park is in the Farafra Oasis (New Valley Governorate).

The park is the site of large white chalk rock formations, created through erosion by wind and sand. It is also the site of cliffs (at the northern end of the Farafra Depression), sand dunes (part of the Great Sand Sea), as well as Wadi Hennis and oases at Ain El Maqfi and Ain El Wadi.

The highest point in the park is at El Qess Abu Said (353 m above sea level) and the lowest is at Wadi Hennis (32m).

The park serves as the refuge for various animals, including the endangered Rhim gazelle and the vulnerable Dorcas gazelle, as well as Barbary sheep; jackals; Rüppell’s, Red, and Fennec foxes; and Sand cats.

Memorable Experience - The tour is worth it. We had so much fun during this trip. The food is good especially the BBQ dinner. Sleeping under the stars is something that you wouldn't forget for the rest of your life.

Very good experience - Very good experience which changes from the Egyptian archaeological visits to do when you spend more than 10 days. Well organized, no fuss as can be common in Egypt.

Egypt under the stars - Incredible trip. Very good trip with crazy landscapes. The night in the desert is worth the detour, prefer the beautiful stars more than the tent, we saw dozens of shooting stars. The drivers were not particularly pleasant but the scenery and experience is worth the 5 stars.

Recommended for those who want to experience Egyptian nature - It was a great tour. Driving through the desert in a 4x4 jeep was like an attraction and was fun. If you are prone to motion sickness, you may need to take motion sickness medication. At night, the tour guide cooked a meal for us under the starry desert sky. It was delicious and there was plenty of it. After that, we enjoyed the starry sky around a campfire, smoking shisha prepared by the guide, and some people stayed in tents with their families or as a couple, enjoying their time in the great outdoors in their own way. I didn't sleep in a tent, but instead slept under the stars on a carpet and sleeping bag that was laid out for me, which was liberating and comfortable, and most of all, I was very impressed when I woke up in the middle of the night and the starry sky filled my field of vision. It was a pleasant tour that allowed me to get away from the hustle and bustle of Cairo and Giza and get in touch with nature.

Not for the faint hearted - As the itinerary states you start at 6am and have a 4+hour drive to the oasis. But what it doesn't tell you is that you won't reach the campsite until roughly 7pm. The 4x4 jeeps were barely road-worthy and appeared to be falling apart. Got stuck or over heated several times. We were thrown about in the back on a bench seat for what felt like forever (about 6 hours). Do not recommend if you suffer travel sickness. You stop off at so many locations each one looking almost identical to the last. Unfortunately, it was a full moon so the stars were barely visible. You would've thought the trips would not operate on these days as it was sold as sleeping under the stars. The highlight of the trip was the food provided for lunch and dinner. Would also advise taking your own snacks.
