The Best 3 Days White Desert, Bahariya Oasis, and Fayoum

At 6:00 a.m., breakfast will be served in the desert. After that, a drive to Bahariya Oasis will take place.

On the way back, at 9:00, you'll make a stop at Crystal Mountain, also known locally as Gebel al-Izzaz. The name "the Jewel of the Desert" and the hill's stunning appearance when illuminated by the sun are attributed to the quartzite crystals that make up the hill, which can be seen on the right. That natural characteristic was stumbled upon a few decades ago.

At 11:00, travel to Bahariya Oasis. Bir Sigam is a hot spring where you can unwind by soaking in the warmth. The spring, which is located 7 kilometers east of Bahariya on the Cairo Road, is the best hot spring in terms of temperature.

Then return by car to the Bahariya hotel overnight.

Our guide will pick you up from your hotel in Bahariya and take you to Lake Qarun in a private air-conditioned car as you watch the city change into lovely orchards and fields. Discover some fascinating species that live along the edges of this salt lake during your trip to Egypt, such as flamingos, ibises, and black-necked crows.

Visit the local museum to see stunning examples of Fayoum's mummy portraits and cloth panel paintings that unmistakably draw inspiration from Greco-Roman art. Learn about the history and culture of the area as you explore the museum with the aid of your guide. Do not overlook the magnificent collection of statues from nearby archaeological sites.

Before visiting Wadi El-Rayan to see the artificial waterfalls in the middle of the desert, eat lunch in the traditional style of Egypt at a nearby restaurant.

Then embark on a picturesque voyage in a felucca, a wooden sailing vessel with a sophisticated gaff-rigged sail.

Finally, return transportation to your Cairo hotel.
