White Desert 3 Days and 2 Nights Camping
The experience
Three days in one of the most surreal landscapes on Earth. From Bahariya oasis you cross the Black Desert and climb Crystal Mountain, then enter a world of white chalk rocks shaped by the wind into mushrooms and giant birds. You sandboard down the Karaween dunes, eat lunch by a spring in the middle of nowhere and spend two nights in tents around a crackling fire, under more stars than you have ever seen.
