We propose to follow the routes of those desert explorers, starting from Cairoheading south towards the oasis of Bahariyathe gateway to the black desert and the white desertA magical place where we will sleep among bizarre limestone rock formations that give a supernatural appearance. We will continue through the oases of Farafra y Dakhlaone of the most attractive in Egypt and stroll through the old town of Mutwhich dates back to pharaonic.
From there we will take the famous the 40-day route that linked Dakhla with the Sudan through the great sandy sea of Gilf el Kebir, The Great Barrierone of the most beautiful places on the planet, where we will get away from the world for a few days in one of the most beautiful places on the planet. yardangs, wadisWe will visit some of the many cave paintings, perforated mountains, mineral valleys and immense dunes. We will visit some of the numerous cave paintings, such as the famous SWIMMERS CAVEThe city is a vestige of a much more fertile past.
After reaching the Great Sea of Sandwe will return home.
