• Get picked up from your Cairo hotel and travel southwest by air-conditioned vehicle to Bahariya Oasis.

• Arrive and enjoy lunch at a local restaurant in Bahariya.

• Explore the village of Bawiti, Bahariya's capital, and take in the lush palm groves set against the immense dunes.

• See the hot springs at Bir Al Matar and Bir El Ghaba, and climb "English Mountain" to view the hilltop remains of a British World War I outpost.

• Pass the Salt Lake on the route into the Black Desert, known for its black-topped volcanic hills.

• View the hot spring in the Valley of El Haize, and check out Crystal Mountain, a glittering chunk of crystal rising from the sands.

• Drive through the huge, rounded rocks of the Agabat Valley and continue into the White Desert National Park, a region of spectacular, brilliant-white rock formations eroded by wind into spires, mushrooms, animals, and other bizarre shapes.

• Admire the ghostly shapes at Mummies Museum, and then return to El Haize for your overnight camp.

• Enjoy a desert sunset and barbecue dinner under the stars before settling into your sleeping bag on mattresses in your tent.
