This excursion will take you to Bahariya Oasis in the Western Desert and then out into the surrounding desert to see the unique regions known at the Black and White Deserts in a unique adventure experience.
Everything is legendary in the White Desert. The huge, rare chalk rocks are not just rocks, but giant, plastic sculptures that colonize the void, carved by the creative hand of nature. There is the rock that is in the shape of a bird, that is in the shape of an animal, that resembles a “Sphinx” statue, that resembles a human being, that mimics a tree, and that becomes a canopy under which passers- by lie.
