Where Silence Speaks: Six days as a solo traveller - Surrounded by endless dunes, fascinating rock formations and a sky full of stars, my trip to the Black and White Desert was the perfect escape from everyday life.
I... read more spent six days exploring the desert as a female solo traveller with Mohamed, Mahmoud, Abed and Zihaza (our camel) hiking, camel riding and camping. During the day, I hiked through astonishing landscapes with Abed and Zihaza, met Mohamed and Mahmoud for a freshly prepared lunch, continued our hike and arrived at the carefully prepared camp site at around sunset. There, we had dinner and Bedouin tea before spending the night under an endless blanket of stars. Our route took us through an incredible variety of landscapes: Crystal Mountain, Agabat, small and big valley, Old and New White Desert, Djara cave and finally, the Black Desert.
While I was free to immerse myself in the breathtaking landscapes, soak up the quiet and peace of the desert, Mohamed and his team took care of every detail. Their friendly, helpful and respectful manner made me feel safe and comfortable throughout the whole trip. My personal wishes and preferences were taken seriously, making the experience feel truly individual and tailored to me. I would like to emphasise the delicious food prepared every day: Mohamed put great value on fresh and diverse meals throughout the trip, from breakfast (my favourite: Kishk!) and light lunches to dinners featuring chicken, meat, duck or pigeon prepared over the fire β I am genuinely amazed by the Bedouin way of cooking!
I would recommend this incredible adventure to anyone looking for an authentic desert experience.
Thank you (shukran), Mohamed, Mahmoud and Abed, for an unforgettable journey!

A Two-Day Trip . - We went on a two-day, one-night desert trip with White Desert Egypt Tour, and we were extremely happy with everything the company provided throughout the journey. The itinerary was wonderful,... read more and the food was delicious, prepared with great care and love. We really enjoyed talking with the tour team, as they were very cheerful and friendly.
They gave us an amazing experience in the desert and made us love Egypt even more. In addition to visiting the beautiful landscapes, we enjoyed listening to Bedouin songs in the evening and joining in with their traditional Bedouin dancing. The atmosphere was truly wonderful.
We were very happy to have them as our guides during the trip, and we highly recommend experiencing a tour with White Desert Egypt Tour for a wonderful experience in Egypt.
