Day 1: From Cairo to Bahariya & Black Desert Discovery

Your journey begins with a morning drive from Cairo to Bahariya Oasis. Upon arrival in Bawiti, enjoy a freshly prepared lunch before switching to a 4×4 Toyota Land Cruiser to start your desert expedition.

Day 2: Deep Desert Exploration – Valleys, Springs & Chalk Formations

After a hearty breakfast in the open desert, begin the day by exploring the desert’s Grand Canyon. Continue to Magic Spring, then enjoy a scenic picnic lunch in the valley of Ain Kadra.

The afternoon leads you into the Old White Desert, home to iconic rock formations shaped by centuries of wind and sand. Discover Mushroom Valley, Tants Valley, and stunning chalk towers that resemble flowers.

As daylight fades, reach the New White Desert, where nature has sculpted stones into animal-like shapes, including a sphinx, chicken, camel, and mushroom. Spend another unforgettable night camping here, enjoying dinner by a campfire, Bedouin music, and storytelling beneath a sky full of stars.

Day 3: Sunrise in the White Desert & Return to Cairo

Rise early to experience one of the highlights of your White Desert Camping Adventure — watching the sun rise over the chalky formations, a peaceful moment unlike any other.

After breakfast, visit a nearby hot spring for a refreshing dip before heading back to Cairo. Your 3-day desert journey ends with cherished memories of vast landscapes, cultural immersion, and the magic of the Egyptian desert.
