Tour Overview

Start where Desert Fox lives: a full day at the Giza pyramids, the Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum with your own Egyptologist.

Then trade the city for the Western Desert. A 4x4 takes you through the Black Desert and Crystal Mountain to the White Desert, where our crew sets up camp, cooks dinner over the fire and wakes you for sunrise among the chalk formations.

Tour Highlights

Giza Pyramids Complex

The last standing wonder of the ancient world sits on a desert plateau a few minutes from our hotel. Your Egyptologist explains how three generations of kings turned limestone into eternity, and where to stand for the classic panorama.

The Great Sphinx

Carved straight out of the bedrock, the lion-bodied guardian of Giza faces the rising sun. We time the visit to avoid the coach crowds so you get clear photos from the viewing terrace.

Bahariya Oasis & Black Desert

Hot springs, palm gardens and volcanic hills dusted in black stone mark the gateway to the Western Desert, with stops at Crystal Mountain and Agabat valley.

White Desert National Park

Wind-carved chalk formations rise from the sand like giant mushrooms and icebergs. Camp under the clearest stars you will ever see, with dinner cooked over the fire.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a visa for Egypt?

Most nationalities can buy a 30-day visa on arrival at Cairo airport for US$25, or apply online for an e-visa before travelling. Our representative meets you before passport control and helps with the process.

When is the best time to visit Egypt?

October to April is the most comfortable season for sightseeing, with sunny days around 20–28°C. Summer is hot in Luxor and Aswan but perfect for the Red Sea, and we adjust touring hours to early mornings.

Are your tours private?

Yes. Unless a tour is marked as a small-group departure, you travel only with your own party, with a private guide and air-conditioned vehicle.

Can I change an itinerary?

Every itinerary is a starting point. Add days, swap hotels, include a balloon ride or a beach stay – tell us what you would like and we will send an updated plan and price.

How do I book and pay?

Send a booking request from any tour page. We confirm availability and the final price by email or WhatsApp. Nothing is charged until you have approved the plan.
