About this trip

Three days out into Egypt's Western Desert, based around Bahariya Oasis and the chalk formations of the White Desert. You sleep out under the stars in the desert itself rather than just passing through for the day.

Alongside the camping, there's time to take in a few of the area's landmark sites, from an ancient temple to a stretch of desert scattered with crystal.

What you'll do

  • Camp overnight in the White Desert
  • Visit Crystal Mountain
  • See Alexander's Temple in Bahariya Oasis
  • Explore Farafra Oasis
  • Drive through the Western Desert landscape
Good to know
  • Short trip, best seen as a focused desert detour rather than a full tour of Egypt
  • Desert camping means basic facilities for the night out
  • Guided throughout, suited to first-timers in the Western Desert
