This journey takes about 4 hours, in the past, when people from Bahariya wished to go to the Nile valley, they often waited until a caravan was passing through, They traveled between the Nile and the oasis in three days. How lucky we are today!!!!!
There will be 2 Coffee Breaks during the trip.
You will see to the righthand side the railways that transport the iron ore deposits to the Steel mill at Helwan, So it is of no use for tourists- Baharyia oasis is the main source of Iron ore in Egypt. The Iron ore comes from the middle Eocene limestone and is located in 4 places called Managim.

At 12:00, Lunch will be served here in El Haize oasis which is located 37 k.m from Bawiti , some people refer to this oasis as a separate oasis, during the Roman times, the area was very prosperous, and many of the current families were originally from Libya. Before lunch, you can immerse yourself in a hot water spring which will almost instantly reduce stress. The heat naturally coaxes tense muscles to loosen up which in turn promotes feelings of calm, well-being, and tranquility.

At 14:00, arrive at the Valley of Agabat deep within the White Desert. You have to be there to feel the out-worldly beauty of the place. Millions of years ago, the place used to be under the sea. Over the years, unique rock formations of limestone, chalk (and maybe sand) developed.
White Desert
8h · Admission ticket included
At 17:30, Make tents and enjoy the sunset
At 18:30, As the sky turns pink and the deepest fiery orange, the rock-shapes fade, and silence is all around. Sitting around a small fire and enjoying the simplest meal of chicken, rice, and vegetables, you will feel like nothing has ever tasted so good. Bedouin staff will arrange dinner and desert camping. ( Vegetarian food is available )
Note: At night temperatures can drop suddenly in the White Desert, so a proper jacket would be necessary to spend the night comfortably- But don't worry we provide all camping equipment like sleeping bags, tents, and mattresses.
