We left the White Desert in the morning, we changed from 4WD to the bus shortly afterwards. We went on to Farafra to visit the Bader museum, which hosts an exhibition of the art of the local artist Bader, who depicts his oasis and the life in it in his various pieces of art.
The next stop has been the mud-brick town of El Qaser where we had a guide to show us around. Finally we arrived at our destination, the main village of the oasis of Dahkla.

Bahariya & the White Desert
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.
Cairo, the Pyramids and the Sphinx
After the pyramids in the jungle of the Yucatan peninsula, I now wanted to see the real pyramids, so this trip did bring me to Egypt for a two week trip around the country.
The first few days were dedicated for Cairo, the pyramids and the sphynx at Giza.
