7 Days Al Bahariya Oasis & White Desert – Trekking or Camel Riding Tour

7 Days Al Bahariya Oasis & White Desert - Trekking or Camel Riding Tour

1^st Day: Cairo – Al Bahariya Oasis – Oasis Discovery

In the early morning we will pick you up at the reception of your hotel in Cairo and you will travel to the Al Bahariya Oasis. If you stay in any other part of Egypt such as Luxor or the Red Sea we can of course organize the transfer to Cairo or directly to the oasis for you.

Al Bahariya is one of the biggest and most important oases in the Western Desert. You will discover the oasis’ fruit-growing and lifestyle as well as remains of the region’s history. A necropolis of the Greco-Roman contained countless different mummies, among them numerous gold-plated ones, the so-called ‘Golden Mummies’. You will see some of them here in the museum. Lunch will be served in a local restaurant. Further you can see the remains of Ain Al-Tibniya, a temple dating back to the reign of Alexander the Great who is said to have passed by this oasis, the tomb of Banentiu where you can see well preserved colored hieroglyphs and paintings, and the temple area of Ain Al-Muftella with four around 2,600 years old chapels whose walls are preserved up to a height of around two meters, showing various beautiful decorations. Further you will visit the hot springs Bir Al Ghaba and Bir Al Matar – a good opportunity for a short bath! Also you will see the so-called English House, a British observation post from the First World War. From its hill we will watch the sunset. Then you will be transferred to your hotel to have dinner and go to sleep.

Lunch and dinner included. Overnight in a hotel in Al Bahariya.

2^nd Day: Al Bahariya Oasis – Black Desert – Al Heiz – Crystal Mountain

In the early morning you will enter a 4×4 jeep and drive into the Black Desert with its countless rock formations and witness buttes covered by black basalt. Also you will visit the scenic Al Heiz with its beautiful landscapes. Then you will start your tour – either on a camel (well trained gentle animals with a competent experienced guide) or by foot – and wander through the fascinating nature. You will discover the beautifully colored Al Khamaan area and have lunch at the calm cool Bir Deiaa spring. In the late afternoon you will finally reach to the famous Crystal Mountain, a ridge laced with sparkling crystals. Near this splendid place we will set up camp and have dinner before you will go to sleep in your tent – or under the amazing starlit desert sky.
