Overview

Day 1
In the morning, our team will pick up from your Cairo or Giza hotel and transport you to the Bahariya Oasis. Yes - a real desert oasis!  Once in Bahariya, we will have a small lunch before starting a Jeep adventure to the White Desert. On the way you will visit the Black Desert, the Crystal Mountain, the Akabat (sand) Desert & a natural hot spring. Later you will camp in the White Desert and our Bedouin friends will prepare a traditional Bedouin dinner for you by the campfire regaling you with stories from their rich history. Enjoy the most magical sunset and discover the secrets of the desert at night under the stars.

Day 2
After you enjoy a breakfast feast prepared for you, we will drive back to the Bahariya Oasis by Jeep, transfer back to car upon reaching Cairo.  You will then be safely taken back to your area hotel to bask in the glory of your experience and who knows - perhaps you'll be inspired from your night with our desert friends to write the next Lawrence Of Arabia!

What to expect

The word "Bedouin" comes from the Arabic word "badawi" - meaning "desert dweller."  This ancient nomadic and beautiful peoples have historically traversed the great lands of Northern Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, Iran and the Leviant.  Today's tribes primarily have abandoned their nomadic ways, but still carry on their unique and beautiful traditions and culture.  No other knows the deserts better than the Bedouins!  Experience the Bedouin life with real Bedouins camping under the stars while they share with you their understanding and history of both the White and Black Deserts of Egypt.
