Before You Book
The things travelers ask us most about this tour.
Private. It runs for your group alone — transport by 4x4 and local guide — so the pace is yours and nobody waits on a coach filling up. We do not merge bookings into larger groups.
Prefer to join a small group? See Weekly Trips →Enough that you should be comfortable on your feet for most of the day. 4x4 driving over sand and volcanic scree, short walks between formations, and a night camping in the open desert. If someone in your group has limited mobility, tell us before you book — we can usually adjust the route or the pace rather than have you find out on the day.
It runs 2 days / 1 night across a single base — Bahariya Oasis and White Desert. The day-by-day breakdown is on this page, and start times flex around your flights and how early you like to begin.
Transport to/from Bahariya (from Cairo), tips and personal spending sit outside the price. Tipping is customary in Egypt but entirely yours to judge, and nothing on the day is compulsory — you will not be taken to a shop you did not ask for.
Yes — every tour here is a starting point rather than a fixed package. Swap a site, add an experience or a photoshoot, change the pace, or extend it by a day and we will rebuild the schedule around you.
