Desert Safari White and Black desert
Amazing trip into the deep desert with Omar (guide) and Mido ( driver/cook). Lots of spectacular rock formations plus an excellent local meal served over campfire. Easy trip for adults and teens.

The most amazing Egypt experience!
We debated about booking this trip because of safety concerns. I’m so glad we didn’t allow preconceived notions to keep us from this safari. It was amazing! Our guide, Omar, driver Islam, and driver/camp chef Mido treated our family to a trek into the desert. After about a 4 hour car ride from Cairo to Bahariya Oasis, we were served a traditional Egyptian lunch in a Bedouin restaurant. There, we transferred to a 4-wheel drive SUV, and the fun began. Our group made stops at the Black Desert for a hike, the Crystal mountain where we collected quartz-like rocks, the old White Desert for photos, and finally the New White Desert for sunset views and to set up camp. Mido and Omar jumped into action while we explored the otherworldly destination. Upon our return the campsite, we found tents and bedding set up for our family, and Mido was working hard on our dinner. After a delicious dinner of coal-grilled chicken, Egyptian rice, vegetable/pasta soup, and spicy vegetables, we enjoyed Bedouin mint tea around the fire. We all slept soundly in our tents under the full moon and awoke to a beautiful sunrise and breakfast with eggs, breads, spreads and coffee and tea. We hated to leave the quiet serenity of the White Desert. But Omar had a surprise for us. We stopped to enjoy a dip into a hot Sulphur springs. Delightful and a great way to rinse off the sand. We were safely delivered back to our hotel in Cairo with so many lovely memories of our time in the desert. I highly recommend this tour.

must-see in Egypt
Best experience in Egypt so far. Black desert, Crystal Mountain and White desert are a growing up of emotions. The sunset, the night sky with billions of stars and the colours of dawn will stay in my memories forever. It really worths the trip. Our guide has been super nice and kind, as well for the beduin driver. Me and my family had fun in the off-road ride and sand boarding. The sites are stunning, perfect location for your pictures and Instagram posts

Beautiful night in the white desert
This was a wonderful experience I made with my family. We saw spectacular places.Everything was carefully planned by our guide. From Cairo through the black desert, the christal mountain, to the white desert. The sunset, the silence and the stars in the desert is something that everyone should experience.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
White & Black Desert Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does White & Black Desert Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $303 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 White & Black Desert Safari 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 White & Black Desert Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Giza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule White & Black Desert Safari?
+
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 White & Black Desert Safari 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 White & Black Desert Safari?
+
Around 2 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 White & Black Desert Safari 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 Pyramids Sphinx Camel ATV Bike Shopping and Nile Dinner Cruise, Cairo 8 Hour Private Tour of Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum, Pyramids Sphinx and Grand Egyptian Museum Nile Felucca or Bazaar. 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.
