Overview & Highlights

Combine ancient history with raw desert adventure on this exhilarating 6-day Cairo and White Desert tour. This short break is designed for travellers who want to experience both the grandeur of pharaonic Egypt and the untamed beauty of the Sahara — all in under a week.

Spend three nights in Cairo discovering the incomparable Giza Pyramids and Sphinx, the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, the ruins of ancient Memphis, and the Egyptian Museum‘s extraordinary collection. Walk through the medieval lanes of Islamic Cairo — the Citadel, Sultan Hassan Mosque, and the Khan El Khalili bazaar — and explore the early Christian churches of Coptic Cairo.

Then escape the city for an unforgettable adventure into the Western Desert. Driving through the White Desert — a vast chalk plateau sculpted by centuries of wind into giant mushrooms, chickens, and abstract formations that glow bright white in the sun and golden-pink at sunset.

Camp overnight under an immense canopy of desert stars.
