Safari Tour to Gara Cave and Bahariya Oasis
Overview
Desert Safari Trip to Gara Cave 5 days
The striking contrast between lush oases and stark desert landscapes is the highlight of an unforgettable two-day trip through Safari Tour to Gara Cave and Bahariya Oasis packages. Cairo will be the starting point of your adventure, leading to the peaceful Bahariya Oasis, a green oasis in the middle of the desert, famous for its rich palm groves and many different kinds of dates. Then, you will go even further into the desert and see the spectacular Black Desert, a world that was created by nature and ancient volcanic activity working together over thousands of years. But the real treat of your trip will be the fantastic White Desert, where you will sleep under the stars in a place that is nearly unearthly.
The White Desert, with its bizarre rock formations that the wind has carved into curious shapes, is the prime photo spot of your desert trip. The few remaining and very peaceful hours of the day, when the sun is not raging, will certainly be the best time for you to meditate and disconnect amidst the desert's beautiful silence. Your travels will also bring you to Crystal Mountain and the Valley of Agabat, where the vastness of the desert's geological wonders will make you speechless. The Western Desert has different sides of Egypt's natural beauty to show with each of its locations, thus, this tour becomes a truly educational experience.
These rare Egyptian oases are indeed some of the most breathtaking natural spots in the world. You will get the chance to see their magical beauty up close and personal and enjoy the moments when you sit by the campfire under the infinite desert sky, experiencing the never-ending charm of this magnificent area, alongside reflection and wonder.

Bas-relief decorated and painted tombs, among them those gated dedicated to Zed-Amun-Ef-Ankh and Bannentiu, and a glimpse of 26th-Dynasty historical tombs in Bahariya will follow. Besides, you will visit the very sacred Temple of Ain El-Meftella placed right in the heart of Bahariya Oasis and the Temple of Alexander the Great, who ruled the Egyptian Empire at an early age. After savoring a wonderful lunch, you get to the hotel for a check-in and an afternoon at leisure with a bubbly dip in the hot springs. At the end of the day, let a 4WD Jeep take you to climb Black Mountain, with a stop at the English House to admire the sunset view of Bahariya Oasis. Spend the night in Bahariya.

After breakfast, a licensed guide will take you to the amazing Gara Cave (also known as Djara Cave), a natural wonder created by rain erosion in limestone over 55 million years ago. The cave has sparkling rocks, magical stalactites, and stalagmites caused by the dripping water through the stone. Here, artefacts, and ancient rock drawings that were found testify to human presence in prehistory, probably, in the late Neolithic period. Then, you will go on an off-road ride to the wonderful Valley of Agabat where you will be astonished by the amazing difference in the huge white rock and the golden sand of the White Desert. The day will end with a night camping in this fantastic place.

This old water well is located beside a single palm tree that is on the hill, and it is surrounded by pottery remains from the Roman, Coptic, and medieval times. Have a great picnic lunch before you go to the Santa tree (Acacia tree) and the White Desert where you will see the beautiful limestone formations. The White Desert is famous for its cream-colored limestone rocks, which include the very interesting shapes like a sphinx, a whale, and a rabbit. You will spend the night camping in this amazing desert which is completely covered in white chalky sand.

Yes, you can try sandboarding in the desert, which is an exciting and thrilling event. This sport relies on the use of a sandboard or some special boards designed for sandboarding.
Egypt's deserts provide an ideal environment for this type of sport, especially in areas characterized by sandy terrain and cliffs. The Siwa Oasis in the Bahariya Oasis Desert or the Red Sea region of Sinai can be suitable locations to try sandboarding.
Since Egypt is a Muslim nation, clothing codes are more traditional; local places (such as train stations), marketplaces, and places of worship (such as mosques and the Citadel) should all be respected. In crowded metropolitan locations, it is advised that women keep to wearing cool, flowing cottons, longer-sleeved shirts, and slacks instead of "clingy," tight, or provocative clothing. You can wear beach clothes in beach resorts and on your felucca or Nile cruise. It is unusual to see Egyptian males wearing shorts in cities; instead, they prefer to wear long pants. Clothing with military styling is not appropriate.
