What people love about White Desert Tours
- 3-Day Sahara Escape: White Desert & Bahariya Oasis Private Adventure from Cairo
We had a great time seeing the white desert, black desert with lunch and dinner. It was a great day out and we saw everything that we wanted to see. We managed to do this tour in a day and they were very accommodating
The desert was so beautiful and the starry sky was breathtaking. And our driver, Ahmad, was a great cook, driver, and conversationalist. It was a trip for two women, but it was very safe and we had unforgettable memories of Egypt. If I have a chance, I would like to go to the desert again with Ahmad's driving. Chika We arrived in the desert about 3-4 hours from our hotel in Cairo. Our driver, Omar, picked us up on time and drove safely. It was very cold at night in the desert in December.Momoko
