8 Days Camel and Jeep Safari to Cairo through the Desert

1^st Day: Luxor – Al Kharga Oasis – Al Dakhla Oasis

Al Farafra Oasis – In the early morning we will pick you up at the reception of your hotel in Luxor and you will travel to the Al Kharga Oasis. If you stay in any other part of Egypt such as Cairo or the Red Sea we can of course organize the transfer to Luxor or directly to the oasis for you. You will visit the Temple of Hibis, a well preserved sanctuary built of sandstone dating back to the 5^th century BC and Bagawat, a necropolis of the regional early Christians with more than 260 burial chapels. Further you will visit the remains of Qasr Dush dating back to the Greco-Roman era, with its fortress and the well preserved temple. It was once an important crossroad for caravan routes. Then you will see the remains of Qasr El Labakha, a Roman fortified settlement. You can visit among others the large fortress, sanctuaries and some remaining qanats, underground aqueducts which once provided the village and its fields with water. Lunch will be served in a local restaurant. In the afternoon you will continue your trip to the Al Dakhla Oasis. You will have dinner there and spend the night in a hotel.

Dinner included. Overnight in a hotel in the Al Dakhla Oasis.

2^nd Day: Al Dakhla Oasis – Start of your Camel Safari

After breakfast in your hotel you will enjoy a trip to remains of the Roman temple Deir El Hagar, a sandstone temple dedicated to the Theban Triad, the Egyptian God Amun, his wife Mut and their son Khonsu, a greatly preserved temple with countless interesting reliefs. Further you will see the burial ground Qarat el-Muzawwaqa with its colorfully decorated tombs dating back to the Greco-Roman era. After lunch in a local restaurant you will meet your guides and your future companions, well trained gentle camels. You will now start your safari through the Western Desert. You will pass by the small oasis Wahat Galal, an idyllic green area embedded in small valleys with rufous dunes, and greenish tuff formations. In the late afternoon you will set up camp until you will finally reach the Sillim Hills. After a tasty dinner you will experience the first night under the clear and starlit desert sky.
