Egypt Desert Safari: the complete guide
Escape the ordinary — the desert is calling. Here is how to choose between the White Desert, the Black Desert and Siwa Oasis.
What is an Egypt desert safari?
An Egypt desert safari takes you beyond the Nile into the Western Desert — a vast, golden wilderness of chalk formations, volcanic hills, oases and dunes. Misk Tours desert safaris include guided jeep excursions, Bedouin-style camping, natural hot springs and visits to ancient oasis villages, with private transport and an expert guide throughout.
Which desert safari should you choose?
- 2 days — Black & White Desert ($350): the fastest way to sleep under the stars in the White Desert from Cairo.
- 3 days — Bahariya & White Desert ($420): the most popular choice, with a full day of desert adventure and sunset in the White Desert.
- 4 days — Bahariya & Djara Cave ($650): adds the Black Desert, Crystal Mountain, the Agabat Valley and Djara Cave.
- 5 days — Siwa Oasis ($750): a remote cultural journey via El Alamein, with salt lakes, springs and Bedouin life.
Camping in the White Desert
Nights in the desert are spent at a camp among the chalk formations, with dinner around the fire and a sky full of stars. Desert nights get cold, especially in winter, so bring a warm jacket even if the days are hot.
Best time for a desert safari
The best time for a desert safari in Egypt is between October and April. Summer months (June–August) are extremely hot, with temperatures exceeding 40°C. Spring (March–April) and autumn (October–November) offer the most pleasant weather for camping under the stars.
Combine the desert with the classics
For those looking to combine desert adventures with iconic landmarks, the 12-day Egypt Highlights tour adds a night in the White Desert to Cairo, Alexandria and a Nile cruise. See all our Egypt tour packages.

-
Visa on Arrival: Available for citizens of certain countries, allowing you to purchase a visa at the airport upon arrival in Egypt.

Embassy or Consulate Application: If you're not eligible for an e-Visa or visa on arrival, you may need to apply in person at the nearest Egyptian embassy or consulate.
Can women travel alone safely in Egypt?
Yes, many women travel solo in Egypt and have a rewarding experience. However, as with any destination, it’s important to take certain precautions. Solo female travelers should dress modestly (covering shoulders and knees), avoid walking alone late at night, and be cautious in less crowded areas. Egyptian people are generally warm and welcoming, and being respectful of the local culture goes a long way in ensuring a smooth and enjoyable trip.
