We are a couple from India. We visited the white desert safari with our guide Mr. Khaled Bashandy. It was an amazing 2 day 1 night trip. They take you to an oasis called Bahriya from where we take a 4×4 and head towards the desert. There was amazing home cooked food and a night in the white desert worth remembering.. Totally recommended.

We booked a group guided one night tour to visit the White Desert through Dahab Hostel. We set out to the desert in two 4x4s. All the stops along the way were absolutely beautiful. We watched the sunset in a breathtaking area of the white desert. Then we drove to a spot to camp. They set up an area with mats and such, it was actually quite comfortable. We ate a delicious dinner, we had a fire at night and stayed up talking and singing, and then laid down on the mats inside our sleeping bags and watched the stars like we've never seen them before. I could barely fall asleep because the stars were so outstanding, and I've never seen so many shooting stars before. We also saw a Fox coming to eat our leftovers. We were actually glad that there were no tents and that we could sleep under the stars like we did. But it did get very cold, so wear very warm clothes during the night, and try asking for extra blankets as the sleeping bag wasn't enough to keep me warm.

Obviously there are no bathrooms or changing rooms, so we just went behind the rock formations to do our business. We woke up around 6am and watched the sunset. We had time to walk around and explore, and after breakfast and a couple more beautiful stops, we made our way back to the lodge. Both at the beginning and the end of the trip they lent us a room at the lodge to wash up.

I highly recommend this tour! We had a few hiccups with the organization of the trip through Dehab Hostel though, for more details read my review under their page.
