Day 1: Cairo - Bahariya - Black Desert - White Desert Egypt National Park

To begin with our trip, we will pick you up from your hotel or private address. Then we drive about 3 hours to the Bahariya Oasis, where we will first have lunch upon arrival. The oasis is located in a depression measuring 100 km by 40 km and is completely surrounded by high black rock walls. Bahariya is a natural treasure of Egypt and in particular worth a visit.

The valley floor is covered with lush groves of date palms, olives, ancient springs, and wells. We may have time to explore the oasis on the third day. Now we continue south with a stopover in the Black Desert before reaching the White Desert Egypt. Millions of years ago ,in fact,  the desert was a seabed. When the ocean receded and a plateau collapsed, layers of sedimentary rock appeared.  Hence, some rock formations resisted the changes over time and gave the White Desert Egypt  its characteristic features and charm.

On the whole, it's always exciting to let your imagination run wild and discover rabbits, ducks, and human heads in the limestone formations. We will look for a beautiful and quiet camping site in the national park. We stay overnight in the White Desert National Park. (D/L)
