Overview

Short on time? This half-day 4x4 trip from Bahariya catches the best light of the day in the Black and White deserts — no camping required.

Not every traveller wants to sleep in a tent. This trip packs the highlights of the desert into one afternoon and evening, starting and ending in Bahariya.

You'll see the Black Desert and Crystal Mountain on the way in, then spend the golden hour among the most famous White Desert formations. After a sunset tea break, we drive back under the first stars and drop you at your hotel for dinner.
