7 Days Desert, Oases and Camel Safari

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

Crystal Mountain – 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. 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. Lunch will be served in a local restaurant. Then you will visit the Al Meftela Spring and enjoy a walk through the palm gardens until you reach the idyllic lake. Also you can see Dist, the ‘Pyramid Mountain’, and Magrafa where huge dinosaur skeletons have been found. 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 – Al Heiz – Crystal Mountain – Al Agabat

In the early morning you will enter a 4×4 jeep and drive to the scenic Al Heiz with its beautiful landscapes. Then we will take you to the scenic Valley of Al Agabat where white cliffs meet sand dunes and yellow limestone rocks. Here you will also meet your new companions – well trained gentle camels that will carry you through fascinating landscapes during the next days. A great and exciting way to discover the desert – and a very special experience. Competent guides will of course accompany and assist you. In the late afternoon you will arrive to your first camp. After a tasty dinner you will sleep in a tent – or under the starlit desert sky.
