When to pick up Around 350 kilometers to the east, at 07:00, your tour guide and driver will pick you up from your Cairo or Giza lodging and drive you to Bahariya Oasis. This is about a 4-hour adventure. Your 4x4 Jeep will take you to the "black desert," which is a few miles south of Bahariya and features many sand dunes with black summits. Lunch is being served in this oasis close to El Haize. Next, take a drive deep into the White Desert to the Valley of Agabat.
You have to be there to fully appreciate the otherworldly beauty of the location. This place was once under water millions of years ago. Over time, these unusual chalk-white stones have taken on the appearance of the moon's surface. The silence descends, the sky turning from pink to the deepest burnt orange, and the rock formations melt away. Sitting around a small fire, enjoying chicken, rice, and vegetables, you'll think nothing has ever tasted so good. It will be an amazing experience to watch the stars at night from a camp in the White Desert.
