Abu Muharrik Dune: Crossing Egypt’s Longest Dune Belt

Sand dunes of Abu Muharrik in Egypt's Western Desert

More than 600 km of sand, moving about a metre a year. Abu Muharrik Dune is for travellers who want to go deeper into the Western Desert than a single night.

What is Abu Muharrik Dune?

Abu Muharrik is one of the longest dune belts in the Western Desert: over 600 km of sand that moves about a metre a year. It is a different kind of desert trip from the White Desert, built around days of driving and camping among the dunes.

Is it for you?

These are longer expeditions, so they suit travellers who want to spend several days in the desert. If you only have one night, start with the classic trip in our White Desert guide, and read One Night With No Electricity to see what camp life is like.

Longer trips mean more nights out. Check our packing list for a desert camping trip and tell us your dates so we can plan the route.
