Tour Itinerary

Day 1
Cairo

Meet your expert guide and expedition team members. Rest in Cairo at the Four Seasons.

Days 2 - 3
Dhakhla Oasis / El qasr Fortress / Dunes of Abou Bayan
Venture south to Dakhla Oasis, where you walk the ancient streets of El Qasr and soak in a natural hot spring. Tonight, prepare with your expedition team for overland desert driving, while staff fuels the vehicles and reserve tanks. The next morning, head south, stopping at a prehistoric archaeological site. You move daily, sleeping in Egyptian-style tents, your group entirely self-sufficient.

Days 4 - 5
Desert Overland / Plateau of Gilf Kebir / Kurkur Talh

Drive overland to the "8 Bells" site on the plateau, then to a volcanic crater. Pass through the old smuggler's track en route to Paul and Peter Mountain. The next day, drive toward Uwienat, the highest mountain in the Western desert. Near the Egypt-Sudan border, study the 18,000-year-old rock paintings at Kurkur Talh.

Days 6 - 8
The Great Sand Sea / Wadi Sora / Wadi Furag
Depart early to further explore the area's ancient rock art, then drive toward the Great Sand Sea and camp at a 12,000-year-old site near the Egypt-Libya border. Both Wadi Sura (appropriately known as "Picture Valley") and Wadi Furag feature cave paintings of human and animal figures, as well as a lake that long ago disappeared from the landscape.

Days 9 - 11
Wadi Quntarah / Shawa Caves / Wadi Bahkt / Wadi Wassaa

Explore this unusual setting, including the Shawa Caves, a fossilized dune, and the spectacularly beautiful sugar loaf sand dunes and chalk formations. Every day in the desert is unique, bringing new cultural discoveries and scenic wonders.

Days 12 - 13
Abou Ballas / Dakhla Oasis / White Desert

Explore the White Desert and its unique rock formation on camel back.

Day 14
Baharia / Cairo

Stop in Baharia before continuing to Cairo for a relaxing overnight at the Four Seasons and a splendid farewell dinner.

Day 15
Cairo

Transfer to the airport for flights home.
