Private Tour
Private White Desert Overnight Camping from Cairo or Giza
Overview
Available languages
2 days
Mobile ticket
This is more than just a desert tour. I was born and raised in Bahariya Oasis, the gateway to the White Desert, and I created this experience to share the real desert life with travelers. Through my passion for photography and storytelling, I guide you through the White Desert’s landscapes and introduce you to the Bedouin traditions I live every day. It’s not about ticking places off a list, but about feeling the culture, understanding the lifestyle, and connecting with the White Desert in an authentic and personal way.

Amazing Trip with Incredible Service

5.00I had an absolutely incredible experience on this White Desert overnight trip! I went with my friends and everything exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Eyad was amazing he took care of every detail and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. We got to visit all the key sites, and the whole experience felt well-organized and seamless. The desert itself is breathtaking, especially at sunset. The camp setup was fantastic clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged. One of the highlights was definitely the campfire at night. Sitting under the stars with great company was unforgettable. The food was also surprisingly delicious—fresh, well-prepared, and more than we expected for a desert trip. Communication and timing were spot on throughout the whole journey, which made everything stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Egypt. It’s truly something special, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat!
A friend more than a guide

5.00The whole experience was surreal. The scenery felt almost unreal, especially when the sun went down, and we gathered around the campfire. It honestly felt like we were on another planet. Eyad’s cooking was exceptional. As a Vietnamese person trying Bedouin food for the first time, I didn’t expect to enjoy it so much—or eat that much! Every dish was delicious and truly memorable. The service was absolutely top-tier. Everything we could possibly need was provided, including chargers, Wi-Fi, and even hot water for skincare. We were worried the desert would be freezing at night, but Eyad reassured us that everything would be fine—and he was completely right. We ended up having such a comfortable and peaceful sleep in the middle of the desert. We never regretted coming here. The experience was unforgettable, and the service was truly worth every penny.

Magical and memorable experience

5.00A unique experience that remains vivid even days later. Eyad proved himself to be helpful and accommodating right from the start, even in the days leading up to the tour, giving me advice for the rest of my trip in Egypt. The desert experience was more incredible than I could have imagined: choosing a private tour with a local operator who has lived in the area since childhood was the right decision. Eyad engaged me by introducing me to his culture and answering all my questions. The evening was truly magical: from setting up camp and preparing dinner to drinking tea in front of the fire. Thank you for these memories!
The best part in my trip
