Private 2-Day White Desert and Bahariya Oasis Trip from Cairo

Once in a lifetime experience

This was the most amazing trip we have ever had. The overnight camping was awesome (one of a kind experience) in the white desert. The experience started from the time the driver picked us up from our hotel to the Bahariya Oasis where they served us a 3-course meal. It was a very cute place. We were transferred to a rugged 4x4 and an hour or so ride to the campsite. On the way we stopped by a cold and warm geyser, Black desert, Crystal mountain and mushroom rock formation. The camp was very nicely setup and decorated. We were servered with some snacks while the tour guide prepared amazing dinner. The sunset was beautiful. We got the total desert experience with all night sandstorm which was something we could not have experienced anywhere else. The sunrise was amazing and we enjoyed the light breeze with quiteness as the storm subsided early morning. The service from the time of pick up to return to our hotel was excellent. The drive is a bit long ~5 hours from Cairo but with the private tour we totally enjoyed it with comfort.

Views are good but the operator and arrangements are terrrible and unhygenic

I was really disappointed with the arrangements on offer. We were charged around £180/person for a 3 member group. When we first arrived the the lunch (included) was very basic. The jeep that was provided to us was rickety, old and tired. In fact it broke down couple of times on the road. Although we were promised an English speaking guide, it was never provided. However, these were nothing compared to the ordeal at the actual desert. The tents were small. cramped, without any light. The blankets provided were not clean. There are no toilet facilities. The food cooked by the driver was good but was served on dirty utensils. Some stale bananas and Guavas were provided as desserts. In the morning the breakfast provided was also stale. When we complained about this to the tour operator no action was taken. The only good thing was the natural beauty. But please expect worst arrangement.

Great stay excellent service

excellent experince , seemed out of the world routine , all alone in the desert - different types - white black sandy windy foggy stony ...starry sky , small camping tent to fit 2 , great service by the driver cum cook cum guide - campfire- food - everything was way above expectations

Great experience

We enjoyed the tour a lot and from the Oasis point the adventure started with several stops and even sandboarding. When the clouds disappeared we could enjoy the night sky. BBQ diner food was really delicious, cooked by our guide. Great trip with a great guidr. FYI, due to traffic jams drop off in downtown Cairo might be later, around 7pm in our case. Would recommend.

Amazing

The black desert is amazing..like an alien movie set out of this world. The drive is breathtaking...memorable experience

Excellent trip !

Everything was great. We covered all spots we wanted to visit and a few more the next day. The dinner prepared by the driver/guide was made from scratch and tasted delicious !

White desert, Bahariya oasis trip

This was an amazing trip despite the cold temperatures and windy weather that whipped up the desert sands. The black desert had stunning rock colours and patterns and even though it was too windy to climb to the top of the mountain, we enjoyed the view. The crystal mountain had some great rock formations and a lovely view as well. The white desert was quiet and peaceful, the wind finally dropping overnight so that we could enjoy the campfire and stars! There were beautiful rock formations completely untouched by graffiti, garbage and noise pollution! Our drivers and guides were wonderful, going above and beyond to make sure that we saw and experienced everything and that we were comfortable, warm and well fed!

Se você é apaixonado por paisagem!!!

É difícil dizer que fui para o Egito e a experiência mais interessante não tenham sido as pirâmides, mas, senhores, acreditem, conhecer parte do deserto e passar a noite por lá foi sensacional. Estive por lá em Dezembro/21, era inverno. A noite é bem gelada, não dormi super bem, mas, nada disso tira o brilho. O lugar presencialmente é muito mais bonito do que pelas fotos. A ausência de poluição de luz faz com que o céu se torne um espetáculo à parte. Dá pra ficar horas elogiando o deserto, agora, vamos falar da Deluxe e equipe. Foram excelentes. Super pontuais, o que pra mim, é super importante. Desde o motorista que nos buscou em Gizé, até o motorista no deserto estão de parabéns. O único ponto que deve ser melhorado é que no ato da reserva via internet é cobrado um sinal (cartão de crédito) e o restante, me cobraram em Baharya, antes da saída. Qdo se faz um compra online, mesmo com sinal, espera-se que o saldo seja cobrado naquele cartão, mas, não passava cartão lá, e eu teria que sacar. Mas a própria pessoa que me cobrou foi super cordial e tranquila, e, via whatsapp o pessoal da Deluxe me enviou um link e paguei por lá. Apenas esse detalhe deve melhorar, mais ainda assim, foram super eficientes.
