Description
Journey from Oases to Otherworldly Landscapes.
Leave the well-trodden path behind for an expedition to Egypt's greatest natural wonders. Discover the life-giving power of desert oases before being mesmerized by the surreal scenery of the White and Black Deserts. Here, wind-sculpted chalk castles and black volcanic mountains create a landscape that feels more like a dream. Each night ends around a campfire, with the Milky Way as your ceiling.
