8-Day Group Trip

Also Suitable for Families with Children

How about a Christmas holiday and New Year’s celebration you’ll never forget? Start the new year under a beautiful starry sky in the vastness and silence of the magical desert. Although the nights can be cool at this time of year, we enjoy lovely sunshine during the day. At night, we huddle close to the campfire and sleep under an extra blanket.

We immerse you in the traditions of the Bedouins, the people who have lived in the Sahara for centuries. From the green Bahariya oasis, we travel for 3 days as nomads (or better said: as the three wise men) through the magical desert. The Bedouins accompanying us cook delicious fresh meals on a small fire. In the evenings, we drink traditional tea by the campfire. We make music and tell stories of 1001 nights.

We’ll explore the desert on foot, by jeep, and on camelback. You probably won’t encounter anyone for days except the people you’re traveling with. Our camels will guide you to the next water source, and along the way, you’ll pass through the most fascinating landscapes. A guide will always accompany you, taking you to the most beautiful and unique spots in the desert.

Where are We Going?

The Sahara is the largest desert in the world. Its endless sand plains stretch across all of North Africa. The Western Desert of Egypt is so special because in this relatively small area of the Sahara, there are so many different landscapes. One moment you’re among the dark mountains of the Black Desert, and a few hours later you’re in an absurdly white landscape with strange rock formations in the White Desert. Of course, there are also the moving sand dunes shaped by the wind. And beautiful crystals that emerge from the ground where underlying earth crusts slide over each other. And then suddenly a group of palm trees and a refreshing water source after hours of vast plains. With its emptiness and overwhelming silence, the Egyptian Sahara has a magical effect on anyone who leaves their footprints in the sand.

Connection with Nature and the Local Population

Experience the vast expanse of the overwhelming desert, the intense silence, and the loving hospitality of the local people. You’ll completely fall into the rhythm of Bedouin life. And our team is always ready to assist you.

There’s also time to explore the desert on your own. Climb the rocks, enjoy beautiful sunsets, roll down the sand dunes, build a large sandcastle, follow the tracks of fox paws in the sand, or take a ride on a donkey or camel.

Unlike many mass package tours, this unique trip offers an intense immersion in Egypt, its people, and nature. This trip is accessible for all ages.

We invite you to brave sand, wind, and sun with us. Experience days of wonder and cool nights under the beautiful starry sky.
