We finally left Cairo to head out into the desert.
After about 5 hours of driving through a more and more sandy environment we arrived in the first oasis on route – Bahariya. Here we had enough time for an optional jeep tour around the oasis, as well as a Bedouin dinner.

The next day we had a late start; after breakfast we set off in two jeeps to enter the desert. including an overnight camp out there.
