Take a trip into Egypt's Western Desert
We are pleased to be able to offer our customers a wide range of tours into Egypt's spectacular Western Desert and its Oases.
These tours range from a one day trip to Kharga Oasis, the closest to Luxor, to tailor made tours of up to 4 days to the further Oases - Dakhla, Farafra and Bahariya. All tours, except the day tour to Kharga include desert driving in our 4x4s.
You will visit historic sites, such as the Hibis Temple at Kharga, and several other temples in the Oasis's towns, as well as the spectacular landscapes of the Black and White Deserts. Sleep under the stars, Bedouin style, or stay in more traditional hotels.
You can obviously discuss what your requirements will be on arrival at the Hotel El Mesala, or you can contact us by email to get a quotation for your itinerary - we operate on the principle that it is our guests can choose where they want to go, rather than be fitted into pre-planned 'package' tours.
