Your Cairo experience, made effortless
The White Desert of Egypt is one of the most surreal landscapes on earth. Its white chalk formations, shaped by wind and sand into remarkable sculptures, glow under the sun and turn golden at sunset. This two-day camping tour takes you deep into the Western Desert for an unforgettable experience.
En route you will stop at the Black Desert, with its dramatic dark volcanic hills, and at Crystal Mountain, a natural wonder sparkling with quartz crystals. These extraordinary sights set the scene for the journey into the heart of the White Desert.
The highlight of the tour is camping overnight in the desert under an incredible canopy of stars. You will enjoy dinner prepared by your Bedouin guides and sleep in a traditional desert camp, waking to a desert sunrise like nowhere else on earth.
