Itinerary

Discover the Bahariya Oasis, the western desert, through your Desert Safari tour for one day. Drive to Bahariya Oasis, 360 kilometers southwest of Cairo. Bahariya Oasis is in a depression covering over 1240 sq. Bahariya was known, in ancient times, as the Northern Oasis and sometimes called the Small Oasis.

On arrival, start your oasis tour by enjoying a walk around the old village of the oasis and see the enchanting groves of palms and fruit trees. During your oasis tour, you will enjoy the Black Mountains, dunes, and the salt lake.

Continue your oasis tour to visit the famous Mummies Hall. The Golden mummies were discovered in 1996 when a donkey belonging to an antiquities guard on duty at the nearby Temple of Alexander got its foot and caught in a hole. The donkey eventually feeds itself, but its owner, Abd El Maugud, notified the Antiquities authority, and thus the first golden Mummies were discovered. Proceed with your oasis tour to visit the Temple of Ain El Muftella, the water source of the old capital of Bahariya Oasis.

Move to the ruin on a hill, the English House at sunset, and enjoy the panoramic view during the oasis tour. Your Bahariya Oasis Egypt tour includes an evening visit to Bahariya village and shops. Return to Cairo after finishing your oasis tour in Bahariya Oasis.
