Bahariya–Gara Cave (also called Djara Cave)
Gara Cave – Aqabat
Valley of Agabat - After breakfast, guests will explore the Gara Cave (also known as Djara Cave), a natural formation created by rain in the Eocene limestone (55 million years ago). The water dissolved the limestone, forming stunning stalactites and stalagmites. Prehistoric people likely inhabited the cave during the late Neolithic period, as evidenced by artifacts and rock art found there. The tour then transfers to Aqabat, a drive of about 150 km, followed by overnight camping in the desert.
Ain Khudra
White Desert - Guests will then enjoy the White Desert, renowned as one of the world’s most beautiful locations. The area is covered in gleaming white limestone, creating remarkable rock formations in the sand, which gives the desert its name. Overnight camping is included.
Bahariya-Cairo
Black Desert - After breakfast, guests will visit Crystal Mountain and the Black Mountains. Upon returning to Bahariya, they will have the opportunity to shower before heading back to Cairo, a journey of approximately 4 hours.
