The Black and White deserts are spectacular and well worth a trip. The Black Desert in the Bahariya Depression features rough 'organ pipe' basalt formations on top of craggy hills and the combination of this with great sand drifts is wonderful. The White Desert is probably the most beautiful scenery in Egypt. It is in the Farafra Depression and is pale white and cream formations of calcium carbonate, left behind from the bottom of the sea aeons ago. Crystal Mountain is on the ridge between the two depressions, and calcite crystals burst from the ground. The area is somewhat damaged by too many tourists - please do not break anything.

The Black and White deserts
Once you visit the oasis , a piece of your heart will stay in this wonderful place forevermore-and who wouldn't want that? We will pick you up from your hotel in the morning at 6 am from Cairo with your driver ( it is four hours). You will arrive at the hotel, have lunch at the hotel, climb into a four-wheel drive with you,your guide and all the equipment, drive the extra two hours to the White Desert .Sometimes you go through the Black Desert at this point, and sometimes later. Your guide will set up your camp and cook for you. You can sleep under the stars or in a small tent, depending on the weather. Next morning he will give you breakfast if you drive around the desert and come back to the hotel through the black desert. You can pre-order lunch if you want, so you can have it before you drive back to Cairo.( 2 Days 1 night).
