An unforgettable night and perfect sky for stargazing
This was a truly unforgettable night and the absolute highlight of my time here. Mustafa and Mohamed made us feel so welcome, and the dinner was excellent. The night ended perfectly under a breathtaking sky—a must-visit for any stargazing enthusiast. Totally recommended!

Amazing experience!
An absolutely amazing experience! Mohamed, Mahmoud, Moustafa, and all the other staff members whose names we don’t know handle everything so smoothly and beautifully that all you have to do is enjoy the experience! After a 4-hour trip from Cairo, we had lunch featuring local delicacies. Then we took the desert road. If you want to embark on an experience like this, you’ll have a wonderful time if you go with the flow and are aware of the limitations. If you’re the type to complain, this might not be for you. Every place you visit in the desert is amazing, and the views are one-of-a-kind. Gazing at the endless star clusters and enjoying a wonderful barbecue dinner, along with Moustafa’s energy and music, made for an unforgettable evening. We chose not to sleep in a tent; instead, we slept outdoors on a mat, just like a local, because we didn’t want to miss out on this opportunity. They’re genuine people who go above and beyond to ensure you feel completely safe and comfortable. Thank you for everything. Anyone who wants to experience this should choose this company without hesitation.

Adventurous experience from Cairo to the desert
The experience was very interesting. You basically do an excursion to the white and black desert and spend one or more nights there. The guides and drivers know the terrain so you are in good hands. I recommend it if you are up for a bit of an adventure.

A great experience in the Egyptian desert
One of the most unique experiences I had in Egypt. The trip is long from Cairo, but it is absolutely worth it because the landscape feels completely different from the city. The White Desert, Black Desert and Bahariya area were incredible, and the whole experience felt much more remote and adventurous than a normal sightseeing tour. My driver Mustafa was very helpful and made the long journey comfortable. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see a different side of Egypt.

Best trip ever
My trip to the Black and White Deserts was the absolute highlight of my time in Egypt! The contrast between the volcanic Black Desert and the surreal, snow-white formations felt like visiting another planet. My guide was absolutely amazing—super friendly, knowledgeable, and took incredible care of me. Camping under a million stars and waking up to a quiet desert sunrise was pure magic. A must-do experience! 10/10! 🐪🔥

Why this scores 85
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Black and White Desert and Bahariya Oasis Tour 2 Days 1 Night: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Black and White Desert and Bahariya Oasis Tour 2 Days 1 Night cost?
+
Prices start at $100 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Giza usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Black and White Desert and Bahariya Oasis Tour 2 Days 1 Night take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Giza is not rushed.
Is Black and White Desert and Bahariya Oasis Tour 2 Days 1 Night worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 183 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Giza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Black and White Desert and Bahariya Oasis Tour 2 Days 1 Night?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Black and White Desert and Bahariya Oasis Tour 2 Days 1 Night suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Black and White Desert and Bahariya Oasis Tour 2 Days 1 Night?
+
Around 64 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Giza can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Giza and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Black and White Desert and Bahariya Oasis Tour 2 Days 1 Night start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Giza within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Giza?
+
On Outty we rank every Giza experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel, ATV Bike, Shopping & Dinner Cruise, ViP Private Tour Giza Pyramids,camel ride , inside 3rd Pyramid, Giza Pyramids VIP Private Tour ATV Camel Inside Pyramid & Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Giza?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Giza?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
