Highlights

Start tour at 06:00 Am and drive for around 5 hours to Bahariya Oasis. Upon arrival will take Jeep to our attractions.

Black Desert - Black Desert located approximately 50 km to the South of Bawiti. The mountains have eroded to coat the desert with a layer of black powder and rocks giving it its name. Towards the end of the Black Desert are black volcanic hills that ages ago erupted a dark volcanic material called dolerite, which is what the black rocks are made of.

Valley of Agabat - Agabat is a small valley of unusually beautiful mountain formations. Here, the white cliffs common to the White Desert meet the dunes and the yellow limestone rocks of Sahara.

White Desert - These sculptural formations are best viewed at sunrise or sunset, when the sun lights them with orangey-pink hues, or under a full moon, which gives the landscape a ghostly Arctic appearance. The sand around the outcroppings is littered with quartz and different varieties of deep-black iron pyrites, as well as small fossils.

Early morning, wake up to get breakfast and visit last site before return back to Cairo. Arrive Cairo around 07:00 Pm.

Bahariya Oasis Guide - Will drive back to Bawiti to get lunch before drive back to Cairo
