This was the most amazing trip we have ever had. The overnight camping was awesome (one of a kind experience) in the white desert. The experience started from the time the driver picked us up from our hotel to the Bahariya Oasis where they served us a 3-course meal. It was a very cute place. We were transferred to a rugged 4x4 and an hour or so ride to the campsite. On the way we stopped by a cold and warm geyser, Black desert, Crystal mountain and mushroom rock formation. The camp was very nicely setup and decorated. We were servered with some snacks while the tour guide prepared amazing dinner. The sunset was beautiful. We got the total desert experience with all night sandstorm which was something we could not have experienced anywhere else. The sunrise was amazing and we enjoyed the light breeze with quiteness as the storm subsided early morning. The service from the time of pick up to return to our hotel was excellent. The drive is a bit long ~5 hours from Cairo but with the private tour we totally enjoyed it with comfort.

I was really disappointed with the arrangements on offer. We were charged around £180/person for a 3 member group. When we first arrived the the lunch (included) was very basic. The jeep that was provided to us was rickety, old and tired. In fact it broke down couple of times on the road. Although we were promised an English speaking guide, it was never provided. However, these were nothing compared to the ordeal at the actual desert. The tents were small. cramped, without any light. The blankets provided were not clean. There are no toilet facilities. The food cooked by the driver was good but was served on dirty utensils. Some stale bananas and Guavas were provided as desserts. In the morning the breakfast provided was also stale. When we complained about this to the tour operator no action was taken. The only good thing was the natural beauty. But please expect worst arrangement.

We enjoyed the tour a lot and from the Oasis point the adventure started with several stops and even sandboarding. When the clouds disappeared we could enjoy the night sky. BBQ diner food was really delicious, cooked by our guide. Great trip with a great guidr. FYI, due to traffic jams drop off in downtown Cairo might be later, around 7pm in our case. Would recommend.
