| In
Cairo during the day you learn to know some of the hidden objects of interest.
After that you drive to the Bahariya Oasis where you consume a typical Egyptian
midday meal. Then you drive through the Black Desert to the camel-stand. Here
you make your first contact with this sensitive creature. At night during the
treks you sleep under the tent of the stars. The trekking leads you in the direction of Aqabat, one of the wonderful wind carved chalk cliff landscapes in the midst of dunes. On the way to the Magic Well you see the Chain of Dunes of Karauin. Under the shadows of palms of the Picturebook Oasis by the Well, you refresh yourself with the cool wetness and enjoy lunch. The wadis through which you ride are old and beautiful, having been settled in Roman times. Palms and Tamaracks decorate the small dune crests. The White
Desert leads you into a fantasy world with its fairy tales of wind, warm and
cold formed chalk cliff sculptures. Through the Wadi Hennez with its old palms
and its wet ground you gradually be admitted to a special enchanted landscape of
Djebel Makhrum. Even here the wind is an artist which is constantly carving the
cliffs into always new forms. Obtain more information by clicking here |
