Best Egypt White Desert Tour: Overnight Camping and Dune Bashing

This two-day tour from Cairo to the White Desert is sure to provide unique adventure and views of the stunning landscapes of the Sahara. The White Desert National Park is a unique stretch of Sahara that is seldom visited, despite being home to rare and endangered species such as Rhim gazelle and sand cats. A guided, overnight excursion on a 4x4 vehicle, this safari begins with a traditional Bedouin lunch at the Bahariya Oasis, a lush spring valley right in the middle of the desert. Next, you’ll visit the small and unorthodox Museum of Golden Mummies, which houses 10 richly decorated sarcophagi. Before dinner, guides provide an opportunity to sandboard down vast, picturesque dunes of sugary sand. If sandboarding isn’t for you, your driver is an expert with on 4x4 dune-rover, and will happily take you leisurely through the sands of the White Desert. There is definitely no lack of adrenaline on this journey, but come nightfall, you can relax with a barbecue dinner as you camp under the stars. All meals and transport are included on the trip, but the journey to the desert can be long, so pack extra snacks if needed, and make sure to bring a lot of water.
