Egypt’s Western Desert is one of the most striking landscapes on earth: wind-carved white chalk towers rising from the sand, black volcanic hills, golden dunes and palm-filled oases. This 4×4 safari leaves from Cairo and takes in the White Desert, the Black Desert and the oasis of Bahariya, with nights under the stars in a desert camp. Longer versions continue to the Great Sand Sea and Siwa.
