Highlights

Overnight Camping in White Desert or black desert & Dinner Under the Stars:

White Desert - You will depart from Cairo at 07:00 for the 4-hour drive to the El Bahariya Oasis. Here you will change vehicle and jump on a 4X4 jeep for a thrilling ride along rugged roads to the incredible White Desert with a stop at the cold spring for you to swim in cold sulfuric water. This unique landscape is set in a depression, and its intriguing aspect is the result of the chalk rock formations caused by sandstorms and the chalk deposits that settle on the ground.

You will also visit the Black desert where the sand is caked with a gold and black crust. Nestled between the two deserts, the start of Crystal Mountain offers yet more wondrous sights and is best known for its quartz crystals. Arriving at camp you will find spacious well-ventilated dome tents equipped with mattresses, blankets, sleeping bags and bed sheets. Enjoy a delicious dinner before retiring for a night beneath the stars.

An absolute highlight of Egypt, after so many old buildings to enjoy the nature buildings - We came all the way from Luxor, saw many attractions on this route, but entering the white desert is the absolute highlight. I saw it already 40 years ago, but now you can go in deeper and with these super guides/drivers it was a pleasure. Eating, drinking, making pictures, dancing around the fire - all was great and Ramy took care of us in a perfect and very familiar way. He even continued after coming back to Cairo to help us , far beyond the booked program- like an old friend. Thank you a lot.

An incredible journey to another planet - (In English) This will be a review of my solo private safari tour to the Black and White Deserts for 2 days and one night in early February. I started planning my trip here in advance and also collected information in advance. In the end, I chose these guys based on factors that were important to me: a large number of positive reviews, prompt responses to all my questions, and an adequate price. Ramy became my guide. At the appointed time, the car arrived at my hotel in Giza and the adventure began. I can safely say that this is definitely one of the best excursions in Egypt that you can imagine. This is an impressive nature, cosmic landscapes, peaks of unique beauty, incomparable colors of sunset and dawn and a fantastic night sky. This is an exciting ride through the sands accompanied by your favorite music, a fascinating story about their nature, as well as the most delicious dinner in the world, and songs, dances and conversations around the fire. An atmosphere that I will remember with warmth for a long time. I am incredibly grateful to Rami and the drivers for their attention and caring attitude towards me. I could feel like a welcome guest in complete safety, and not just another working moment in the conveyor belt of tourists. Therefore, I recommend that all travelers hungry for impressions stop their search and urgently write here, at Desert Egypt Safari. _____ (In English) This will be a review of my solo individual safari tour to the Black and White Deserts for 2 days and 1 night in early February.

Amazing adventure - This was by far the best tour during our trip. I suggest saving this tour for last, because all others might pale in comparison. The sights were out of this world and the sandboarding was a blast. Ramy went above and beyond to ensure the tour surpassed all of our expextations. He was also very accommodating towards my mother-in-law that has mobility difficulties, making sure she was always included and participated in as many activities as possible. The drivers were very skilled and firendly not to mention amazing musicians and great cooks.

White Desert Egypt - The White Desert is unique. I've never seen anything like this. It's definitely worth seeing. You need to use an agency that will rent you a car with a driver and provide accommodation. We booked Marghany Tours before arriving in Egypt. Everything was ok. Fast communication and flexibility regarding the program. Additionally, we used this agency to purchase a trip to the pyramids in Sakkara and even transport to the airport. The Agency's employees devoted their private time to us to make us feel at home in Egypt!

Amazing adventures in the desert! - This excursion was a 10/10. Doesn’t compare to anything I’ve done before. Mohammed Sabagh, our tour guide turned friend, was absolutely incredible. Knowledgeable in every aspect of the trip, hospitality was next level. There was never a moment where I felt unsatisfied or not cared for. He made this trip special by connecting with us and going above and beyond. Highly recommend to all of my friends and family. A MUST SEE AND A MUST TO HAVE HIM AS YOUR GUIDE!!!

Make this Excursion a Bucket List Must Do! - First of all, we had the best tour guide: Mohamed is friendly, kind, funny, and knowledgeable. By the end of the trip, he felt like family. The 2 day adventure was filled with interesting sites: the Black Desert, The White Desert, both cold and hot springs, and the English Mountain. Touring with Mohamed and his driver gave us up close look into Egyptian culture. This trip is well worth the cost, and it will be one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. I mean, what’s better than sleeping under a million stars in the Sahara Desert?!

SURREAL! OUT OF THIS WORLD! - This trip proved to be the best surprise of our Egypt exploration. Detailed to perfection, the tour company provided best facilities in terms of transportation, Stay and Food. We started our trip from Cairo on regular vehicles and moved into the Safari 4X4 after a delicious Nubian Lunch. Starting with the Black Desert, Crystal Mountain and Natural Spring, we reached the White Desert - a place like no other. Its hard to believe that such a places really exists. Immediately after the sunset, our camps were pegged and Bedouin tea was served right in the middle of the White Desert. Our guide Mohammed Sabagh, and our two attendants ensured that we had every comfort - from a campfire to a well-laid out elaborate dinner. Star-gazing at White Desert will certainly be etched in our memories for many years to come. I thank DESERT EGYPT SAFARI, Ahmad from the front office, and Mohammed Sabagh from the bottom of my heart for showing such a paradise.

Amazing experience - Our guide Mohammed is really friendly. He gave us unforgettable memory. It is so wonderful that you sit nearby camp fire, and so many stars in the sky. The scene is never forgettable.
