On the fifth day of your White Desert Tour from Cairo, we'll start by taking an air-conditioned vehicle to Bahariya Oasis, about four hours away from Cairo. There, we'll explore the Museum of Golden Mummies which features mummies discovered in huge burial sites dating back to the Greco-Roman era. We'll also visit the Tombs of the Nobles, where the rulers of the region during the 26th dynasty were buried. Finally, we'll enjoy sightseeing at the Temple of Muftella dedicated to the god Bis and which was built by the Egyptian Pharaohs.
Afterward, we'll have a delicious Egyptian cuisine lunch at an Oasis-style restaurant before traveling to the White Desert for a unique White Desert Safari Cairo. On the way, we'll see the Valley of El Haize to the south of the oasis and stop to see the water spring there if there is enough time. We'll also visit the quartz crystal formations at Crystal Mountain and the beautiful formations and petrified wood in the Valley of Ashgabat, where we'll get to sandboard down the massive sand dunes.
We'll enjoy camping in the White Desert and watch an amazing sunset view while our local guides cook dinner, before transferring to the hotel to overnight. Spend your night watching the spectacular stars clearly away from the pollution of the bigger cities. In the morning, wake up to the beautiful scene of the rising sun in the White desert.
