This was unlike any camping experience one could ever imagine; our initial camp ground, The White Desert.
Unfortunately when we had reached camp grounds we were told a sand storm was looming near by and so we moved settlement to a small village called Al Hyaz. =(
Despite the disappointing last minute alteration of plans I had a marvelous time.
Here was our 3 day itinerary along with complementary photos.
Drive to Bahariya Oasis - an isolated oasis a few hours drive from Cairo
arrive in Bawiti and check in at Sandrose Bahariya hotel (oh yes we were definitely "roughing it" lol)
roam around the Museum of the Golden Mummies
arrive at the Temple of Ain al-Muuftella
make our way to the Tomb of Noble Bannity
visit two-chamber temples
group swim in a cold spring
climb the Black Mountain and frolic along inactive volcanoes 0_o
visit Bebel el Dist (Magic Mountain)
four wheel drive excursion up a 15 meter Sand Dune in the Black Desert
picnic at the Al Hyaz , a small village
stop through Crystal Mountain finally arrive at the White Desert
set up camp at Al Hyaz
Hours prior to sunrise I scurried up on top of the hood of our jeep and patiently awaited sun rise.
Scattered stars scampered across the night sky, as shooting stars cascaded over our camp site... those moments were pure bliss.
