Adventure Awaits in the White Desert

For those seeking a day filled with exploration and excitement, the White Desert Tour offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Available from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, this excursion takes you deep into the heart of the White Desert, where you’ll discover the park’s iconic chalk rock formations and sand dunes.

Begin your day with a visit to the Black Desert, where the iron-rich rocks create a stunning landscape of black hills. Here, you can climb Gabal el Marsos, also known as the Divided Mountain, and take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding desert. As you continue your journey, you’ll arrive at the White Desert, a place of unparalleled beauty and tranquility.

The White Desert is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including the endangered Rhim gazelle and the vulnerable dorcas gazelle. As you explore the park, keep an eye out for these majestic creatures, as well as the elusive sand cat and various species of foxes. The tour also includes a visit to the oases at Ain El Maqfi and Ain El Wadi, where you can relax and enjoy the serene surroundings.

“A must-do trip for extraordinary adventure - it is NOT Egypt that everyone expects! Owing to change in circumstance, I was unable to take a two-day tour, and instead opted for a one-day tour. Communication with Amir was simply excellent, and arranging for pick up in Nasser City was straightforward. The one day was a long day - in total collected at 0600 and returned at 0100. I really wished I had been able to stretch the time and made it a two-day trip, but there we are. As for the trip - in summary: Journey out/back - safe driver on desert roads; never felt anxious. Meals provided - basic and nutritious; but, not the highest standard of Egyptian cuisine. Black Desert - extraordinary, but do your own research prior to getting there. White Desert - again an incredible landscape, and the 4x4 Safari through it was a memory of adventure. WAS IT VALUE FOR MONEY - yes! WOULD I GO AGAIN - absolutely, I will. Next time, I will aim to camp over on the 2 Day Trip” - Reviewed on 2024-04-29
