Bahariya Oasis
During the Pharaonic period, the oasis was a center for agriculture. Its advantageous position on the caravan routes between Libya and the Nile Valley contributed to its continuing prosperity in later periods. Nowadays, the discovery of archaeological treasures and the ease of travel from Cairo to explore the stunning and mysterious Western Desert of Egypt have established Bahariya Oasis as a popular tourist destination.
The Bannantiu Tomb
Nestled atop the eastern ridge of El Bawiti in the Bahariya Oasis lies a hidden gem - the Tomb of Bannantiu. Moreover, it's the same tomb where his father is buried. Bannantiu's name itself is shrouded in mystery, as it literally means "the soul of those who have not". But don't be deceived - Bannantiu was no "have not".
Mummies Museum
Houses some of the largest burial sites in Egypt's Western Desert. The Museum's notable mummy is the governor's wife from the 26th Pharaonic dynasty. Golden masterpieces were found nearby, and a ruler's cemetery was discovered in Bahariya Oasis.
the Salt Lake
While you can't swim, you can view the stunning sights of the salt pools and even float in them if you aren't confident. These lakes are situated in one of Egypt's most isolated communities and have a high salt content, enabling you to effortlessly float in the pool without any risk of sinking.
English House
Built as a stronghold during World War II, is now in ruins due to protests against colonials settling in the area. Visitors can hike to the hilltop for a breathtaking view of Bahariya Oasis. The location was featured in the award-winning novel and film, The English Patient.
You will also enjoy the sand dunes before returning to our luxurious accommodations for a sumptuous dinner and a relaxing overnight stay in Bahariya Oasis.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. | Overnight: campground in Bahariya Oasis.
After a delectable breakfast, we will journey to the Black and white Deserts to experience the nature of the hot springs of El Haize.
Crystal Mountain
The desert contains mesmerizing quartz and calcite crystals, but visitors are not allowed to break them off. Loose crystals on the ground can be picked up. A naturally formed Calcite crystal arch is a popular photo spot. Geologists believe it was once a cave with stalagmites and stalactites, but erosion has taken its roof.
The Valley of Agabat
In Egypt's Western Desert region, Agabat is known as the "Beautiful Valley" and is usually a pit stop en route to Bahariya and the White/Black Deserts. The stunning granite formations in this valley are truly remarkable.
Then, you will continue your adventure with Respect Egypt Tours to the White Desert, where we will marvel at the stunning wind-carved rock formations that resemble giant mushrooms and stones. As the sun sets, we will set up our luxurious campsite and enjoy a delightful dinner under the stars.
