Tour Details
Highlights
-
Leaving the Nile Valley behind heading to the White Desert which is truly white in clear contrast with the yellow deserts elsewhere, having an overnight stay here under the stars is second to none.
The Bahariya Oasis is much smaller comparing to other Oases but it has its own charm.
Bahariya consists of erratic colonies of palms where the landscape of thousands of palms trees stretches out in front of you in a very picturesque view.
This is where we have a plenty of time to wander among wonderful places like the Valley of Golden Mummies and Temple of Alexander the Great
