Who would like to take a trip which he will remember forever and wants to experience a nature which cannot be nicer and more dreamlike should make an excursion to the White Desert of Egypt.
The White Desert is located in the center of Egypt and far away from border areas which can be dangerous for tourists sometimes.
The White Desert in Egypt is a nature reserve, the scenery a true phenomenon of weather-beaten, surreally seeming rock formations which are especially impressive with sunrise and sunset.
The nicest opportunity to discover this scenery is a camping safari on which you spend day and night in the desert while watching this unique nature scenery.
The enchanting contours of the White Desert were created by a pretemporal ocean. The scenery excels all deserts which you have seen up to now. It reminds of a snowy scenery and conveys to you unforgettable impressions.
From the camel one can admire the fantastic forms which are a result of one annual million continuing erosion of the chalk by wind and sand.

Departure is at 7.00 o’clock in the direction of Bahariya Oasis, approx. 350 km far. About midday is the arrival, and at first there is an authentic Egyptian lunch. Then one visits the oasis with the grave of Bannantiu which still shows well-preserved paintings. Afterwards you can take a look at the temple from the time of Alexander the Great, a great temple with wonderful reliefs which are still well-preserved. From the mountain Englis one has a wonderful view about the whole oasis. Then you can watch the mineral springs with hot sulphur water (40 degrees).
After the sightseeing we enter farther 130 km in the White Desert. Shortly before sunset we reach our destination. A small bedouin’s village where the camel drivers wait for us already and we experience on the back of the camel the sunset. A true spectacle of nature.
Then dinner is cooked and a campfire is kindled. With tea, coffee and a water whistle we experience the silence of the night and enjoy the romantic atmosphere and the black sky with its hundreds of stars which can be seen clearly particularly here. In evenings without moon one can admire even the Milky Way, while shooting stars light up the sky.
This evening you will never forget again!
At 7 o’clock on the next morning, it is time for breakfast and then we continue our journey on a camel. We explore the wonderful forms of the White Desert up to the afternoon, besides, one also experiences surreal formations like pigeons, camels or a mushroom of wild stone.
In the shade of an acacia we will have lunch and take a small break. Then we ride to the sun set. A wonderful evening is waiting for us in the beam of the light of a campfire
The next morning after the breakfast we are picked up from our jeep and will go with our new miraculous impressions back to Cairo.
