White Desert and Djara Cave 3-Day Camping Tour
- 4.9 on Tripadvisor · 88 reviews
- Licence No. 121
Tour Overview
Two nights of camping give this trip more time in the desert than the usual overnight run. It suits travelers who want to slow down, walk among the rock formations at different hours, and add a visit to Djara Cave.
You start in Cairo, where our representative meets you, and head west. A 4×4 takes you through the Black Desert, with its dark-capped hills, the Valley of Agabat and Crystal Mountain, a quartz ridge beside the road. The first camp is in the White Desert, known for its white chalk towers shaped by wind.
Day two is for Djara Cave, a limestone cave deep in the desert with prehistoric rock carvings of animals on its walls. You return to the White Desert for a second night at camp. On the final morning you watch the formations at sunrise, then visit English Mountain, once a British lookout in the First World War, and the hot springs of Bahariya. From there you drive to Cairo, and we transfer you for your flight.
Practical details
The tour departs every day. A private English-speaking guide stays with you, and all desert driving is by 4×4 jeep. Meals follow the itinerary, with two breakfasts, three lunches and two dinners, and bottled water is provided. You can pick Golden or Diamond accommodation. Bring warm clothes for the nights, a flashlight, sunscreen and closed shoes for the cave. Camp life is simple, so pack a small bag with what you need for two nights. Entrance fees and all taxes are covered, and our guest relations staff can help with questions during your stay.
Prices start from $435 per person.

Tour Itinerary
Our representative meets you in Cairo and you set off west into the desert. Your first stop is the Black Desert, where dark stones scatter over the hills.
You then drive through the Valley of Agabat and stop at Crystal Mountain, a ridge made of quartz crystals. In the afternoon you reach the White Desert and set up camp among the chalk formations. Lunch and dinner are included.
After breakfast your 4×4 heads to Djara Cave. Inside this limestone cave you can see stalactites and rock carvings of animals made by people who lived here thousands of years ago.
You spend the rest of the day exploring the White Desert. Camp is set for a second night in the desert. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included.
Rise early to see the White Desert at dawn, when the rocks take on soft colors. After breakfast you drive toward Bahariya.
You stop at English Mountain, where a British lookout stood during the First World War, and at the Bahariya hot springs. You then return to Cairo for your transfer to the airport. Breakfast and lunch are included.
