Surreal desert landscape, hot oases and a vibrant Mediterranean city

Qaitbay fortress in Alexandria, Egypt

The unique Western Desert is one of the most inhospitable areas known, yet curiously amongst its handful of oases lives 1% of Egypt's population.

We visit these oases and come face to face with their unique culture. In fertile Bahariya we walk amongst lemon groves and bathe in hot springs.

Moving on, we travel by 4WD and trek though spectacular desert landscapes, visit the oasis town of Farafra with its exotic ambience and explore the impressive White Desert.

A full day exploring the vibrant costal city of Alexandria and time at the awe-inspiring Pyramids at Giza make this a fun and varied trip.
