A desert safari takes you through an endless series of breathtaking desert landscapes, paired with picturesque sunsets and starry night skies. Walk along mud houses and ancient ruins in Egyptian desert oases, shop for local handicrafts, and meet Bedouins who maintain centuries-old traditions – the Egyptian desert is one of those mystical places where normal ways of life are suspended or non-existent, a place where access to water means everything and ownership of land means nothing.
Discover amazing natural monuments like the Silica Glass Field and explore prehistoric rock art at Swimmers Cave or Shaw’s Cave in Gilf El-Kebir. You can also experience the incredible thrill of sandboarding in the Great Sand Sea, quad biking in the Western Desert, or dune camping under the desert’s starry skies.
To take a desert safari in Egypt’s Western Desert, contact a trusted tour operator. In Sinai, you can arrange shorter safaris through your hotel or resort, or contact a tour operator in the major cities of Sinai.
