Where we go
Eight places across Egypt's Western Desert. Choose one, or let us link several into a single route.
One night with no electricity
There is no socket anywhere on the trip. Just you, a sleeping bag and billions of stars. The silence is deep, and the sunrise on the white chalk is something you will remember.
A Bedouin family from Bahariya Oasis
We organise every kind of desert tour, and we are proud to show you the Egypt very few people in the world know.
Our guides are Bedouins from Bahariya. They know where the wind has carved the best rocks, where the springs are and where to pitch camp for the sunrise.
