Day tour to Bahariya Oasis/Black & White desert - Do It!

This was a trip to the Black and White Desert, not a food tour. Had a blast. Went off road 4 wheeling, sand boarding in the dunes and saw some fantastic scenery. Would highly recommend when you're tired of museums. Egypt has so much more to offer in its natural beauty.

Day trip to Bahariya Oasis

We are two girls who did the day trip to Bahariya Oasis. You can choose to camp at night in the deserts but we only had time for a day trip. Hazem was our guide and the drivers Ahmed and Ahmed. It was a unique experience. First we went to Bahariya and saw the Bedouin house we would have lunch later. We changed the car to a 4x4 jeep. And then we headed to the deserts. It was very fun and the ride through the desert was amazing. Hazem was our personal photographer and he took amazing pictures of us. So I recommend to let him take pictures of you and you should just enjoy the trip. First we went to the crystal mountain, then the agabat desert, later to the white desert and last desert we saw was the black desert. Hazem did his best to show us everything. Every place was so unique and beautiful. After the tour we went for lunch in the Bedouin house we saw in the beginning. The food was delicious, the place was amazing and the company of Ahmed and Hazem was perfect. After the lunch we headed back. Thanks for everything! Ps its very safe to travel in Egypt during covid19. Its even better because there are not so many tourists.

Day visit to the white desert

We visited the white desert with our guide Ahmed Tonsi from Emo Tours. He is very knowledgable and passionate about his work. We can highly recommend him as a tour guide. It is a phenomenal place to visit and can highly recommend it to other tourists.
