How a Cairo desert safari works
- 07:00 AM: pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza.
- About 4 hours: the drive to Bahariya Oasis (about 360 km), then lunch.
- Afternoon: switch to a 4x4 Jeep for the Black Desert, Crystal Mountain and Agabat Valley, then camp in the White Desert (about 550 km from Cairo).
- Last day: return to Cairo. Ask us for the exact arrival time for your package.
The White Desert is too far for a day trip, so every package includes at least one night in camp. See our Western Desert tour guide for the route and our Black and White Desert guide for what you will see.
