White Desert & Bahariya Oasis Private Day Trip
Description
Experience an unforgettable private day excursion to the White Desert and Bahariya Oasis departing from Cairo, where you'll discover breathtaking limestone formations and more.
Day Trip Overview
At the scheduled time, we will pick you up from your accommodation in Cairo to commence our journey toward Bahariya Oasis, lasting approximately 4 hours.
Traveling in a rugged offroading vehicle, we will navigate through this oasis, historically a significant agricultural center during the Pharaonic era. The region boasts lush fertile landscapes, vast palm groves, natural springs, along with numerous date and olive trees.
Following our visit to the oasis, we will enjoy a meal at a local restaurant before embarking once again in the 4x4, which will guide us through the celebrated White Desert National Park. You'll soon realize that this landscape is not entirely white; we'll also explore the area referred to as the Black Desert, characterized by its striking basalt formations.
Our journey continues as we delve into the core of the White Desert. We'll marvel at the limestone formations found in Agabat Valley before proceeding to the dazzling Crystal Mountain. Spend some time absorbing this natural wonder before we venture on to the majestic sand dunes of the White Desert.
As the day winds down, we will head back to Bahariya Oasis in our offroad vehicle, where you'll transfer to another mode of transport for your return to your hotel in Cairo, approximately 17 hours after departure.
