Day trip to Bahariya Oasis and white desert from Cairo

At 06:00 am, Pick up time from your hotel in Giza or Cairo, and drive to   Bahariya Oasis , which is located about 350 km east of Cairo. This journey takes about 4 hours, in the past when people from Bahariya wished to go to the Nile valley, they often waited until a caravan was passing through, They traveled between the Nile and the oasis in three days, how lucky we are today!!!!!

There will be 2 Coffee Breaks during the trip.

You will see to the righthand side the railways that transport the iron ore deposits to the Steel mill at Helwan, So it is of no use for tourists- Baharyia oasis is the main source of Iron ore of Egypt. The Iron ore comes from the middle Eocene limestone and is located 4 places called Managim

At 10:00, You will arrive at Baharyia Oasis then meet your Safari guide who will take you in a 4x4 Jeep to Start your adventure.

Drive to  the black desert , this name stems from the fact that there is a layer of black powder covering its mountains, highlands, and sand. This powder covers the summits of some mountains.

At 12:00, Lunch will be served here in El Haize oasis which is located 37 k.m from Bawiti , Some people refer to this oasis as a separate oasis, during the Roman times, the area was very prosperous, and many of the current families were originally from Libya. Before lunch, you can immerse yourself in a hot water spring which will almost instantly reduce stress. The heat naturally coaxes tense muscles to loosen up which in turn promotes feelings of calm, well-being, and tranquility.

 

At 13:00, on the way back, you will visit  Crystal Mountain ,  Crystal Mountain , locally known as Gebel al-Izzaz. It's more of a crystal hill, seen on the right, which is often called the Jewel of the desert, formed by quartzite crystals and looks amazing in the sun's rays. A few decades ago, that natural feature was found by accident.
