The White Desert in Egypt
The White Desert in Egypt is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. The landscape looks like something out of a Dr. Seuss book with strange rocks sticking out at odd angles from the golden sand. The rocks themselves are soft and have been shaped over millions of years by wind erosion and sandstorms. One unique thing we learned about the White Desert is that it was actually under water about 80 million years ago. In fact, you can sometimes find seashells as well as microscopic sea creatures in the white rocks. Now, we’ll show you all of the amazing spots we explored throughout our White Desert trip and what to expect for your own White Desert adventure.
Day 1
The most common starting point for a White Desert trip is from Cairo. A personal car was arranged for us and took us from Cairo to Bahariya, where we met our guide Waheed. It takes about 5 hours to get to Bahariya. Once there, you will hop in the 4x4 and head to the first destination, which is a short stop at the Black Desert. This desert has a unique landscape with hundreds of small black volcano-shaped mountains. After the black desert, you will make your way to Crystal Mountain, where you can find thousands of small crystal rocks scattered across the sand. On your way to the campsite for the night, you will scale some massive sand dunes. We came across one of our favorite spots on the trip near the camp… a huge white rock where we could watch the sunset, sit in the soft sand, and discover for ourselves how ancient the White Desert really was. For the final activity of the first day, it’s time to set up camp and get the fire going. The White Desert can get extremely cold at night, so it’s important to wear warm clothes and build a fire before the sun goes down.
Day 2
Day 2 is where you really get to see some interesting rock formations, which the White Desert is famous for. After a peaceful morning coffee and breakfast, it’s off again in the 4x4. The first stop is “the Arch”. Take some time to bask in the beauty of this natural rock archway that formed over millions of years. Near the arch, you will find some massive sand dunes, which are perfect for drifting in the car as well as sandboarding. We were lucky and had the entire dunes to ourselves. The magic spring is another one-of-a-kind destination along the route on day 2. This spring fills up from the top of the small hill and flows down into the pools below, forming an oasis in the middle of the desert. On your way to the white desert national park camp, you’ll find endless white waves that look like they’ve been frozen in time. This unique shape was caused mainly by wind erosion over time and makes you feel like you’re playing in the ocean for a moment. For the last stop of the day, you’ll arrive into the camp, where you can enjoy another magical sunset. If you’re lucky you’ll also get to experience the real Bedouin culture through a musical evening with drums and singing.
Day 3
The first thing to do on day 3 is see the famous Mushroom and Chicken Rock. Another highlight on your way out of the national park is to take a ride through the valley of the tents. After a few spins around the rocks, it’s time to head to Bahariya, which is about 1 and a half hours away in the 4x4. Then, it’s another 5 hour drive back to Cairo by car.
