About This Tour

A week away from the Nile Valley entirely, exploring the Western Desert's Siwa and Bahariya oases — old mud-brick towns, hot springs, sand seas, and the White Desert's chalk formations. This trip is entirely within Egypt. There's no Nile cruise on this route — it heads west from Cairo into the Western Desert oases instead, which is a genuinely different side of Egypt from the Nile Valley/temple circuit.
