1st day
We go on the street directly to Oasis Bahariya, which is about 450km. Bahariya is well known since they found there the Golden Mummies. Many wells make this area very fruitful, so you can find 100000 palmtrees with dates and many fruits and also rice. We make a small sightseeing to the salt lake and the hill of the englishmen. When the sun goes down we climb the hill to see the beautiful sunset and have a view to the oasis.
Overnight in the hotel

Visit the Golden Mummies, the Tomb of banentiu and the Temple of Alexander the Great. We pass the Black Desert, El Hayz, the Crystal Mountain, Al Agabat and come to the White Desert. You will see snowy mountains, mushrooms, animals or whatever is in your fantasy. The white ground is crowded with small black stoneflowers. There we will make our nightcamp and you will feel here like in a wonderland of dreams.
3rd day
Back to Bahariya
Than we go to the protected area the Wadi Rayan Nationalpark there you can still find fossiles and big bones of the whales that lived here million years ago, therefore also the name Valley of Whales. There will be a good place for the camp, to sit at the fire and count the stars.
