Day 1: Cairo – Bahariya Oasis

Early in the morning, our representative will meet you at your hotel in Cairo to embark on an exciting journey through  the Bahariya Oasis. If you are staying in a hotel in another city in Egypt, such as Luxor or on the Red Sea coast, we can arrange a transfer to Cairo or directly to the oasis. Bahariya Oasis is the largest and most important oasis in the Western Desert. Visiting the city  of Bawiti, see how the main crops (guava, mangoes, dates, olives) and some of the historical sights of the city are grown. The Greco-Roman necropolis, also known as the Valley of the Golden Mummies, contains a huge number of mummies, some of which are well preserved, and the sarcophagi are painted with gold paint. Later, you will have lunch at one of the local restaurants. Next, you will be able to see the remains  of Ain Tibnya, a temple, clock of the reign of Alexander the Great, who is said to have passed through this oasis; the tomb of Banentiu, with its well-preserved colored hieroglyphs and paintings; a temple in the area of Ain Muftella,  with four chapels, the walls of which are about two meters high, and built about 2600 years ago. The rest of the day is completely at your disposal. You can relax at the hotel or walk around the grounds. Dinner at the hotel.
