Overview
If one night in the White Desert is a taste, two nights are an experience. This three-day safari gives you time to slow down, to walk among the chalk formations at sunrise and sunset, and to feel the silence that makes the desert so unlike anywhere else. It is a chance to sleep outside, to cook over a fire and to see more stars than you have ever seen.
The journey starts with the drive from Cairo to Bahariya Oasis, followed by lunch and a 4×4 trip to the Black Desert, with its dark volcanic hills. The second day takes you to the Crystal Mountain and Agabat Valley, then into the White Desert for sunset and a second night in camp. On the third morning you walk among the formations at sunrise and then drive back to Cairo.
Your Bedouin hosts prepare hot meals, tea and bread over a fire, and your guide knows the best places to watch the light change on the chalk. It is a real desert safari, with simple facilities and a big sense of freedom.
If you are searching for a 3 day White Desert safari from Cairo, this itinerary gives you the time to enjoy it. EgyptLens arranges the transport, the 4×4, two nights of camping with meals, the equipment and an experienced guide.
