Itinerary
Day 1: Baharyia oasis - Black desert - Aqabat valley - White desert
Stop At: Black Desert, Al Wahat Al Bahriya - Al Farafra Rd, Bawiti Egypt
The Black Desert is a region of volcano-shaped and widely spaced mounds, distributed along about 30 km (19 mi) in western Egypt between the White Desert in the south and the Bahariya Oasis in the north. Most of its mounds are capped by basalt sills, giving them the characteristic black color.
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: Valley of Agabat, 55km N-N-E from Farafra Oasis, Farafra Egypt
Agabat, known as the ‘Beautiful Valley’, is located in the Western Desert region of Egypt and generally is the stop off point for tourists on their way to Bahariya and the White/ Black Deserts. About a 4 hour 40 minute drive from Cairo and over 6 hours from Alexandria, the route will take you from the busy Cities into the peaceful and sparse lands into the desert regions with stunning views en route. There are no settlements at all in Agabat as the land is barren and extreme temperatures in the summer months would make living extremely harsh. Whilst Agabat is smaller and considered a small valley in comparison to the Bahariya area, it is nonetheless stunning in it’s own unique way. With beautiful mountain formations and many white cliff faces similar to the White Desert, it also immerses into the sand dunes linked alongside the Sahara Desert and unusual yellow limestone rocks. The sides of the mountains here are higher and steeper than the route leading to Bahariya and Farafra.
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: White Desert, Egypt started, Farafra Egypt

Some rocks look like animals, mushrooms, and some rocks have totally strange shapes, The famous and dramatic gleaming chalk landscape of the Farafra Depression is one of the most astounding natural wonders of Egypt. The strange rock formations that rise above the white surface of the desert are known as inselbergs (from the German for ‘island mountain, The rock layers were deposited when the desert was underwater and marine fauna which died settled at the bottom of the ocean forming sedimentary rocks.

Wow, my family and I had an absolutely fantastic time! The overnight team that joined us in the desert were just incredible. They cooked up a storm, serving us delicious dinner and breakfast, and made sure we were all snug as a bug in our own cozy tents for the night. Plus, the whole trip was so well-organized that we didn't have to worry about a thing!

The price I paid is a little bit high. Other people from the same group were paying about 60usd only from other app.
While the trip was splendid worthwhile a long bus drive. The desert was really amazing. Our jeep drivers were very helpful and made delicious meals. The stary night were really an unforgetable exprience. Please do bring some more clothes since the night was freezing...
Another thing to be mentioned is the transfer back to city. On the booking page it is indicated clearly that we should be send back to each's hotel. While in fact we had been dropped only some place of nowhere near Giza Pyramid abbandoned and everyone had to call taxi.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT and worth doing!!! Ahmed safari camp and hotelBaharaya oasis was so fun, punctual and loved the tour altogether. Getting to sleep with the stars overhead (optional tent if you want) and waking up to see the sunrise was a highlight for me.

Booked this as a solo traveller and as the description looked great, the actual trip was MUCH MORE BETTER and worth than any description or photos.
- pick up from hotel on time
- very friendly tour guides and driver
- our guide Bader was really great and went above and beyond for everyone’s comfort and even made sure I got something gluten free for dinner
- we visited so many great locations and spent some time at each. Not a dull moment

Mahmoud is the best driver and tour guide. If you come to Egypt and you don’t do this you never came to Egypt. Is the best experience ever.

An all round amazing experience from A-Z. Very simple and clear instructions and organisation. After a transfer from Cairo and being offered tea and lunch we set off in comfortable jeeps with fantastic guides to visit the black desert and then the white desert. The sights and views were amazing. Our guides then set up camp for the night in the white desert, the barbecue was amazing and watching the sunset in such a peaceful place was a true experience. The guides then gave us an amazing campsite concert. The experience can only be explained as healing for the soul. We woke up to sunrise and a beautiful breakfast prepared by our guides. There is was no hassle what so ever and the memories will last a life time.
