Would you like to reboot yourself away from civilization, under the starry sky and surrounded by fantastic views created many centuries ago? See amazing natural sights that you won’t see anywhere else in the world?

Then our individual tour of the Black and White Deserts, Bahariya Oasis is created just for you! This is a camping with convenience, beautiful nature around. And most importantly – safe and interesting.

Visit stunning Bahariya Oasis, which was once the agricultural centre during  pharaonic  times. It`s now famous now for its abundance of dates and olives. Enjoy the shady palms and natural springs.  Then move onto the Black Desert. This is famous for its black volcanic rocks and hills. That contrast against the sandy surroundings. While you are here you will get to swim in mineral hot spring.

You will visit Agabat Valley in a jeep. It is a beautiful valley with imposing white cliff faces and yellow limestone rocks. The White Desert is known for its white sand landscape that stretches across the horizon. See the amazing sunset while you camp here for the night. You will be overwhelmed when you see Crystal Mountain with the quartz crystals sparkling in the bright sunshine.
