Upon arrival, you will enjoy the lunch in a local restaurant then you will start out tour in 4*4 Jeeps to the Sand Dunes and the Salt Lake. We will stop and enjoy walking for a while then we will drive to Black Desert Egypt (Mountains and hills rich in black Basalt), It seems the wind after thousands of years exposed this basalt and dispersed the rocks everywhere over the area giving it a black appearance.

Gebel El Marsos is one of the most famous mountains there and provides a nice view of the surrounding landscape, makes you feel like you are not on earth but on another planet. The next stop will be El Heiz village and its spring where you will have a bath (no Jacuzzi can quite compare to Bahariya’s springs and wells).

We will continue to the Crystal Mountain, it’s said to be sub-volcanic vault dating from the Oligocene age. From the Crystal Mountain, we will drive off-road to Aqabat or Agabat is a small beautiful valley of unusual beautiful mountain formations.

White Desert National Park
The next stop is a beautiful land escape which is absolutely out of the world, The White Desert or The White Desert National Park, magnificent natural rock formation by wind over millions of years. Many of the formations are given funny names such as Tents, Mushrooms, Ice Cream Cones, Ostriches, Hawks, and Crickets; they are best viewed at sunrise or sunset when the sun turns them hues of pink and orange or under a full moon which gives the ghostly appearance.

Camping in Egypt
Camping in the White Desert, barbecue dinner and folkloric party (special music performances and dancing around the fire, by our drivers) is what you can be expecting. After you will fully enjoy an unforgettable scene, visible stars in a quiet atmosphere will help you to lay outside the tent and gaze until your soul, mind, and body will be content.
