After finishing breakfast, we will go to the Bahariya Oasis, but not before taking a detour to the Crystal Mountain, also referred to as Jabal Al Azzaz. The crystalline mountain, which is actually composed of quartzite crystal deposits, is desired to be called the desert’s diamond since it is quite impressive when sunlight shines over it. Its existence came to be known about only a few decades ago, by pure chance.
After this, we will proceed to the Bahariya, relaxing and recharging for our itineraries in one of the most beautiful and secluded places in this world. Within a western desert of Egypt, this jewel is famous for how serene and beautiful it is. Numerous coconut trees, date trees, and acacia trees adorn the scenery, and the smell of their sweet flowers, that of jasmine and orange, fills the place. There are also animals in the oasis, such as deer, ibex, and oryx.
You will still have lunch after you have checked in your hotel and then will start to explore the oasis of Bahariya. You will have an excursion to Gebel Maghrafa, the palm and olive farms, and Bahariya Oasis itself. It is particularly interesting because in 1914 at the base of Gebel Dist were unearthed the remains of the greatest Diansour (certainly the ages of Stromer’s Tidal Giant). And also, the biggest salt lake in Bahariya Oasis, Lake al-Marun, is picturesque too.
To conclude this long and eventful day, it is possible to go up English Mountain (Gebel Al Ingleez) to be enchanted by the stunning view, which includes the entire northern part of the oasis, and watch the sunset. Lastly, we will go back to the hotel to wind up the day.
