“A unique and special experience - The experience was so special and so nice. All basics and luxuries were available, almost any need of objectives. Tent was spacious, beautiful and very comfortable. Food was plentiful throughout the flight and added. Snacks, juices, and fruit were available throughout the flight. The water is snow-capped and available all the time and a very important need in the desert and summer.”

Embrace the Serenity of the White Desert

The White Desert is a place of tranquility and contemplation, where the natural beauty of the landscape takes center stage. On November 10th, embark on a White Desert Adventure that promises relaxation and adventure in equal measure. This tour, available from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, offers a chance to swim in warm, mineral-rich waters and ascend mountains for panoramic views of the desert.

As you explore the White Desert, you’ll encounter the park’s famous chalk rock formations, created through erosion by wind and sand. These formations, resembling both human and animal faces, are a testament to the power of nature. The park is also home to a variety of wildlife, including the endangered Rhim gazelle and the vulnerable dorcas gazelle. As you wander through this otherworldly landscape, you’ll feel a sense of peace and wonder that is hard to find elsewhere.

“A must do trip for extraordinary adventure - it is NOT Egypt that everyone expects! Owing to change in circumstance, I was unable to take a two day tour, and instead opted for a one day tour. Communication with Amir was simply excellent, and arranging for pick up in Nasser City so straightforward.”
