White Desert

A lunar landscape of chalk

The White Desert is one of Egypt's most astonishing landscapes: wind-sculpted chalk formations next to the Black Desert and the Bahariya oasis. You sleep in a tent under an exceptional starry sky, with sandboarding on the dunes and natural springs.

Two options, 2 or 3 days: see Siwa, the White Desert and Fayoum: treasures of the Western Desert.
