Making your way to the White Desert, 160 km on/off road, you will stop by the Crystal Mountain & Agabat el Sharkia, El Santa tree, and go across the sands of the White Desert with its chalky, cream landscape, and the wind-carved mushroom-shaped formations that resemble both human and animal faces.

  3. 3Baharoya Oasis back to Cairo⌄

    Agabat Valley is a magnificent site, where towering limestone formations rise from golden sands like frozen waves in a prehistoric sea. The name “Agabat,” meaning “wonder” in Arabic, fits this majestic valley like a glove. It’s not just a stopover—it’s the kind of place that grabs you by the soul and doesn’t let go. Located roughly 50 kilometers southwest of Farafra, Agabat Valley is a photographer’s dream and an adventurer’s paradise. Think surreal rock spires, soft rolling dunes, fossil-strewn grounds, and narrow sandy passes carved by millennia of wind and time. This spot feels like you’ve landed on another planet, with soft white chalk, scattered quartz crystals, and massive mushroom-shaped rocks scattered across an endless desert stage. 40 minutes, Admission included

    We will drive back to Cairo. Arrive Cairo at about 3pm.
