White Desert Tours
The White Desert (referred to in Arabic as Sahara el Beyda) is one of the most stunning natural wonders of Egypt. It is located approximately 45 kilometers to the north of Farafra in the Western Desert. The desert presents a miracle of nature in the picturesque white limestone formations, which got their present shapes after the relentless wind gradually eroded the stone for centuries.

The desert is in a constant state of change, depending on the time of day. During sunrise, the whole area is bathed in a golden hue; the harsh midday sun turns everything into brilliant white, and then, at sunset, soft pink and violet colors are everywhere. Nighttime is when the desert reveals its most intimate and silent side. The desert, with its starlit sky, becomes a mystical world. That is why the White Desert is one of the best camping, stargazing, and desert safari spots in Egypt.
One of the main attractions of the area is the White Desert National Park, which features among its highlights the remains of ancient fossils, the rarest of animals, and the Black Desert and Crystal Mountain nearby. The visitors are given the opportunity to discover the area with the support of Bedouin guides, who not only show the best places but also invite you to see the Bedouin way of life, including the hospitality and storytelling around the campfire.
If you are one of the adventurers, photographers, or just nature lovers, the White Desert is certainly the destination that will lead you to the wild and mystical part of Egypt's beauty. The harsh and barren landscape is, in fact, so unusually beautiful that it feels like a journey to another planet.
