The quantity of unearthly and beautiful wind-carved rock formations shaped in the form of giant mushrooms or pebbles is unequalled in any desert in the world. Transfer back to the campsite at Al Haiz for overnight stay. Meals: Lunch, Dinner
  • Cristal Mountain It can be a little confusing if you visit Crystal Mountain Egypt with the expectation of seeing a giant mountain rising up out of the desert. This is actually a ridge that forms between Bahariya Oasis and Farafra Oasis in the Western Desert of Egypt. This ridge includes a unique structure. It is made entirely of calcite crystal that combine altogether to create a striking ridge standing up out of the desert. In essence, Crystal Mountain Egypt is an ancient Paleo that has been pushed to the earth’s surface, and is now in the process of being eroded away by the elements. The crystals themselves are quartz. The reason for its name has to do with the Arabic term for formation. It is the same word that we translate into English as mountain. That means the actual name is Crystal Formation, although that is not the common name the ridge is known by.

The Stars was the cherry on top

Bahariya Oasis , a beautiful place to unwind before delving into black desert. The stark, dark sands of the black desert were a visual treat. Crystal mountain's dazzling quartz formations were a highlight and white desert national park offered some of the most extraordinary and surreal landscapes we've ever see.

Secluded desert experience!

We did a 2 day/1 night trip, we drive 4-5hrs from Cairo into the desert then transfered to a jeep and headed off the desert! We went to many different spots - moon cave, Crystal mountain, sand surfing and white desert! The most beautiful experience was camping alone in the white desert with nobody in site - very different than other desert trips I've done! The guide cooked amazing food and we stayed in a traditional tent overnight (no toliets!). Great experience if you're looking for a different desert secluded experience!

Starry night in the white desert!

We had a great time in the White Desert! It was 2 days and one overnight sleep in the desert. It’s like being in another world. Be prepared for quite a long travel time in the car to get there, roughly 4-5 hours depending on traffic. Our driver Mohammed was very nice and friendly and allowed us to listen to our music. We also stopped in multiple gas stations for bathroom breaks. The first stop had a great bathroom, the second stop not so much so bring some tissues. We did multiple stops such as seeing black desert, doing sandboarding, etc. before arriving at the white desert to set up camp. Ahmed our white desert driver/guide made such lovely dinner for us and we watched the stars at night till late. We could see the Milky Way from the desert! Such a wonderful experience. We had an incredible time and highly recommended!

Great day

I recently embarked on a mesmerizing journey to El Fayoum with Deluxe Tours, and I had the pleasure of being guided by Ahmed, an exceptional and knowledgeable guide. This unforgettable experience left me in awe of the region's beauty and its rich historical significance. Deluxe Tours proved to be an excellent choice for exploring El Fayoum and Wadi el Hitan. From the moment I booked the tour, their professionalism and attention to detail were evident. The itinerary was well-planned, ensuring that I could make the most of my time in the region. Ahmed, our guide, was an absolute gem. His deep passion for the area's history, culture, and natural wonders shone through in his engaging storytelling and extensive knowledge. He effortlessly brought the ancient sites and fossils of Wadi el Hitan to life, making the experience all the more immersive and enriching.

Great experience for an adventure.

Excellent and reliable with quick turnaround Private Tour. I did research on almost all luxury tour agency and picked Deluxe Tours. It proves the top review on Deluxe Tour is correct. Deluxe Tour is very hands On to the clients. 17 Days throughout across country of Egypt. 1 chat away and response within second on any hiccups. As people in Egypt mostly do not speak english. A reliable tour Agent with reliable, contactable Agency is Not Optional. Any Problem Latif the contact person wil pick call to his contacts throughout Egypt, and demand resolution in a second. Just like any other holiday, hickup is expected. As we are on the move every hours if Not on daily hopping cities Most importantly Resolution is Swift! We are being picked from airport landed area, and sent off home to make sure we all land in each country origin safely! What an unforgetable adventure. It make it safer to foreign land to Have Local Reliable Tour Agency. Thanks to Deluxe Tour.
