Black Desert
The Black Desert is a region of volcano-shaped and widely spaced mounds, distributed along about 30 km (19 mi) in western Egypt between the White Desert in the south and the Bahariya Oasis in the north. Most of its mounds are capped by basalt sills, giving them the characteristic black color.
Valley of Agabat
Agabat, known as the ‘Beautiful Valley’, is located in the Western Desert region of Egypt and generally is the stop off point for tourists on their way to Bahariya and the White/ Black Deserts. About a 4 hour 40 minute drive from Cairo and over 6 hours from Alexandria, the route will take you from the busy Cities into the peaceful and sparse lands into the desert regions with stunning views en route. There are no settlements at all in Agabat as the land is barren and extreme temperatures in the summer months would make living extremely harsh. Whilst Agabat is smaller and considered a small valley in comparison to the Bahariya area, it is nonetheless stunning in it’s own unique way. With beautiful mountain formations and many white cliff faces similar to the White Desert, it also immerses into the sand dunes linked alongside the Sahara Desert and unusual yellow limestone rocks. The sides of the mountains here are higher and steeper than the route leading to Bahariya and Farafra.
White Desert
The white desert is the most popular and interesting area in the Western Desert. The white desert became a protected area since 2002. It occupies a surface area of around three thousand kilometers.On the road that goes between Farafra and Baharya, one can see the first bizarre rock formation in the white desert. Some rocks look like animals, mushrooms, and some rocks have totally strange shapes, The famous and dramatic gleaming chalk landscape of the Farafra Depression is one of the most astounding natural wonders of Egypt. The strange rock formations that rise above the white surface of the desert are known as inselbergs (from the German for ‘island mountain, The rock layers were deposited when the desert was underwater and marine fauna which died settled at the bottom of the ocean forming sedimentary rocks. Viewing the sparkling white landscape covered with almost supernatural shapes spectacularly lit at dawn, midday and especially sunset there.

A Magical Experience in the Black & White Desert

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00From the start, the agency was extremely reliable and gave us a lot of confidence. They answered all our questions immediately and were always clear and supportive, which made us feel very comfortable and well prepared. The tour itself was perfectly organized. The pick-up arrived exactly on time, and the entire schedule followed precisely what had been agreed upon—smooth, professional, and stress-free. Even though we booked a group tour, in the end it was just the two of us and one other couple, which made the experience even more special. And then, the desert… simply magical. The Black and White Desert is a place that feels almost unreal. Our driver—who was also responsible for setting up the camp and cooking—was truly exceptional: dedicated, professional, and incredibly kind. We couldn’t have been in better hands.

5.00So so so worth it!! We had Saeed as our driver and tour guide and he was amazing. The food during camping was actually amazing (we did NOT get sick), the driving on the sand was so fun. Camping was so peaceful I've never been somewhere so quiet and fresh air before. We had plenty of stops for pee breaks and snacks etc. Tour was on time. Super amazing def worth it, we slept under stars though tent was an option. Fyi you will not be swimming as the oasis smells and is just a pit with water- like don't swim you may get infection..
One of the best experiences of my life - healing magic of the desert

5.00Words can't describe the magic of the white desert, if you do one thing in Egypt, make it this! From start to finish Amir and his team were attentive, kind, and guided the experience wonderfully. Everything was prepared well with great instructions to help plan for the trip stops. We were split into small groups after a lovely Egyptian lunch at the desert oasis. Our driver Badr was an expert 4x4 driver, taking us on some exhilarating and often speedy runs across dunes, shared information about the landscape formation while we took in the breathtaking scenery. We visited natural crystal formations, the volcanic black desert, and the limestone formations in the white desert. Camp was set up expertly by Badr, who created a fire for us and cooked a delicious chicken dinner on the charcoal. He shared Bedouin and fresh mint tea with us, while we sat around the fire surrounded by stars and the peaceful stillness of the landscape. This is truly an unforgettable experience, and an incredible opportunity to feel the healing power of the desert, supported by expert guides.

5.00The desert views were truly breathtaking—unlike anything we've ever seen before. The contrast between the volcanic stones of the Black Desert and the surreal, chalk-white rock formations of the White Desert was simply mesmerizing. Spending the night in the White Desert felt like sleeping on another planet. If you're looking for unique landscapes, this is it! We also had a chance to try sandboarding in a desert dune, which was very fun. Our guide was fantastic and made the entire experience seamless. He were exceptionally well-prepared, handling all the logistics, from setting up the comfortable camping equipment to preparing a delicious dinner for us under the stars. We spent hours sitting by a warm, crackling campfire, sharing stories and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the desert night. It was incredibly fun and made for perfect, lasting memories. This tour provides a truly immersive and hassle-free way to experience the magic of the Egyptian deserts. Highly recommended!
