The landscape slowly transformed from the bustling cityscape into endless golden dunes, rugged rock formations, and an overwhelming sense of serenity. Our first stop was Bahariya Oasis, a lush haven in the middle of the arid desert, where palm trees swayed gently in the breeze, and natural hot springs promised relaxation after a long journey.Posted on Justin LVerified A great experience in the White Desert Mohamed is an exceptional tour guide, polite, knowledgeable, and fluent in English. He is calm, well-educated, and makes the experience truly enjoyable. Our trip with him was nothing short of extraordinary! We explored incredible locations, including the Black Desert, once an area of active volcanic craters millions of years ago, the Crystal Zone with its dazzling natural crystals, and the breathtaking White Desert, where wind and time have sculpted the rocks into fascinating animal-like formations such as a snake, fish tail, camel, chicken, and rabbit.The scenery was mesmerizing, but the experience was made even better by the delicious, freshly prepared food. Every moment of the journey was enjoyable, and we were so captivated by the magic of the place that we decided to extend our stay for another night.
