Bahariya Oasis and White Desert Budget Tour

Start your day early with a transfer from your Cairo hotel, and prepare for an exciting Egypt Desert Safari adventure as you journey to Bahariya Oasis. After a comfortable 4-hour ride on an air-conditioned bus, you will arrive at the oasis, where our local Bedouin driver-guide will greet you and begin your exploration.

Your first stop is the fascinating Valley of the Golden Mummies, where you'll see a select group of 10 remarkably well-preserved royal mummies from ancient Egypt. Next, visit the Tombs of the Nobles, which hold many secrets of the rulers who once governed this oasis, including the Tomb of Zed-Amun-Ef-Ankh and the Tomb of Bannentiu, reused later for group burials. Discover the Temple of Alexander the Great, built to commemorate the conqueror's passage through Bahariya on his way to Siwa, and the Temple of Ain El-Meffetla, dating back to Egypt's 26th dynasty, where Egyptian scientists uncovered four chapels in 1939.

After exploring the ancient history of the oasis, enjoy a traditional Bedouin lunch at a local house. Following your meal, you’ll continue your adventure to the stunning White Desert. Along the way, visit the Valley of El Haize, once home to a Roman fortress, and marvel at the shimmering Crystal Mountain, formed from natural quartz crystals. We’ll also explore the striking Valley of Agabat, known for its breathtaking desert landscapes.
