Overview
More time, more desert: two nights of camping, hot springs in Bahariya, the Black and White deserts, and the hidden corners most day visitors never see.
If you want to really feel the silence of the Sahara, take three days. This expedition follows the classic route, but at a slower pace, with time for hot springs, short hikes and two different camp spots.
On the first night you camp in the Black Desert foothills; on the second, deep in the White Desert National Park among the most spectacular formations. Your guide adapts the route to the weather and to what you want to see — photographers love the extra golden hours.
All meals are cooked fresh at camp by our Bedouin team, and every evening ends around the fire with tea, music and stories.
Highlights
- Two nights camping in two different landscapes
- Bir Sigam hot spring in the Bahariya oasis
- English Mountain viewpoint and the Black Desert
- Crystal Mountain and Agabat valley dunes
- Old White Desert and new White Desert formations

Worth every extra day
Three days gave us time to really slow down. The hot spring, the Black Desert, two different camps and a team that took care of everything. Highly recommended.
