On the fifth day, depart Cairo to begin your White Desert Tour, which also includes a visit to the Bahariya Oasis. The trip starts anywhere, just like with the majority of our day trips in Cairo. In an air-conditioned vehicle, you will get to Bahariya Oasis from Cairo in four hours.
You'll take a tour of the Golden Mummies Museum. The mummies and the remnants of an Alexander the Great Temple were discovered in large Greco-Roman cemeteries. You will also see the tombs of the local kings and nobles from the 26th dynasty. Ultimately, a visit to the Temple of Muftella, built in honor of the goddess Bis, will be appreciated.
Later on, we'll take you to an Oasis-style restaurant where you can have a delicious lunch of Egyptian food—something that should be a first for you. After that, we'll visit the White Desert for a unique White Desert Safari. We'll see the Valley of El Haize, a verdant oasis in the middle of the desert that comes before the black desert, on the way to Cairo. If we have time, we might even stop by the water spring there.
See the breathtaking formations and petrified wood at the Valley of Agabat, as well as the ancient quartz crystal formations at Crystal Mountain. Don't miss the thrilling sandboarding down the massive sand dunes. We will enjoy camping in the White Desert, where there's a great chance to see a breathtaking sunset, while your local guides prepare your lunch. Admire the stunning stars while you're sleeping at the camp.
You can watch the most romantic scene of the sun rising in the White desert when you wake up the next morning. Spend the evening viewing the brilliant stars away from the smog of the larger towns.
