About this activity
At 7.00 am our guide will pick you up in an air conditioned vehicle to go in "around 4 hours" driving trip" about 360 km to Bahariya Oasis,

Upon arrival “around 11.30 am” we will change the vehicle by 4× 4 safari car and meet our local Bedouin guide who lead us to the main attractions of the desert starting with the Sand Dunes area where you will stop to take some photos above one of the Dunes which its height can reach up to 50 meters, then we will continue our way until we stop in the black desert territory where you will see a sandy mountain covered with black stones and minerals like coal and iron ,it's called "El Marsos Mountain" . 

Then “around 2.30 pm” we will get back to the vehicle to witness el "Agabat" area which consists of limestone hills and magnificent sculptures. Its name means "obstacles" as in ancient times it took 3 days to cross this area by camel

Before the sunset we will head to the White Desert. Upon entering the area you will feel that you are walking on the moon surface as you will see the white sand looks like snow and the different limestone rocks all over the area resembling a variety of Human heads, chicken and Mushroom shapes, and plants forms. They were created by the act of the harsh wind in this area. You will stay in the area for a while to capture some photos and watch the sunset. The surface's color of the area is changing with the change of the light of the day time from orange to ink to purple and during the moon light time you will feel that you are standing a snowy area as the scenery of white sand is so similar to the snow within this time. We will take some photos around the sunset time. Then we will get back to the Black Desert for camping.

On our way back to the black desert we will stop at the place of the Crystal Mountain where you will see the mountain consisting of stones looking like glass and you will find mysterious inscriptions that worth to take some photos for it. Also you will find the tracks of the desert foxes on the sand which are living around this area.

Then we will go back to the Black Desert area where we will camp overnight

After the dinner you will taste the great Bedouin tea, sitting for a while observing this magical area, then going to sleep in a tent overnight

Day 2

Getting up before the sunrise, wandering around the area and taking photos from the summit of one of the dunes or mountains to the sunrise when the sun rises between the mountains which looks like volcanoes.
