Desert Explorer

Desert Oases & 4WD Safari

Heading straight out of Cairo, you travel south to Wadi Rayyan, a man-made oasis which is now a bird sanctuary. The fossilised skeletons of whales await at Wadi Hittan, where you set up camp for the night. You continue by 4WD to the tomb of Alexander the Great and the mysterious rock formations of the White Desert.

Camels, Luxor & Cairo

Your journey through the desert continues using a different form of transport - the camel! After visiting Dakhla Oasis, you join your camels for a day and a half trekking in the desert. Leaving the desert behind, you drive to Luxor, where you visit the Valley of the Kings before returning to Cairo, for the majesty of the Pyramids at Giza and the Sphinx.

El Gouna Extension

If you?ve got time, you can extend your trip with a few days on the Red Sea coast.
