Dawn breaks on a flat, bone-white plain and the 4x4’s tires whisper through sand that seems to have no edge. On this two-day private safari from Bahariya Oasis, travelers move between chalk-like mushroom rocks in the White Desert and the volcanic ridges of the Black Desert — landscapes that feel sculpted by a mischievous wind.

Hydrate before and during the trip
