DAY 3

You’ll get picked up early in the morning in Cairo to head to Bahariya Oasis in the desert. After settling into your ecolodge or desert hotel, you’ll adventure to the Black Desert, a landscape scattered with volcanic hills and dark stone. You’ll explore this area, take in the stunning, otherworldly views, and head back to Bahariya for a night in your desert-style hotel.

DAY 4

Then, to Agabat Valley, where you’ll view vast landscapes with interesting rock formations and take in the breathtaking scenery. Finally, you’ll continue to Farafrah Oasis where you’ll visit a local hot spring for a relaxing soak before settling in for the night at a charming eco-lodge.

DAY 5

Today will be the highlight of your adventure! After breakfast at your ecolodge, you’ll set out to White Desert. There will be plenty of stops to take in the surreal desert landscape, with white glimmering sand and unique chalk formations. You’ll witness a magical sunset over the desert while setting up camp and preparing for a traditional bedouin dinner around the campfire under a blanket of stars.

DAY 6

You’ll wake up to a final breathtaking view of the sunrise over the desert before heading back to Cairo. You'll have time to rest up or do some final exploring before our last group dinner together.

A word from past travelers:

  • Moni- You are amazing and I mean that truly! i'm not a group trip type of person and have never been on one of these trip in the past. I usually plan my own trips but there is no way I could've planned and had the time that I had if i did this on my own. The intentionality behind every activity, hotel, restaurant, people was very clear. It's obvious that you put your heart and soul into planning this trip and it was felt across the board. Thank you so much for showing us your country and doing it SO beautifully. - Addis

  • This trip really brought me back to my love of adventure and exploring and being in new and different places and cultures. It was so refreshing to be back in that environment and much needed! You killed it at trip leader!! You have such a calming presence that nothing ever felt panicked or stressful. I was never worried about anything the whole trip. You communicated at the right times and I feel like no one ever felt rushed or like they could do something or wouldn't have time to do something they wanted to do. Super proud of you!! - Carly

  • My first trip to Egypt was extraordinary from start to finish. Not only did I gain a deeper appreciation for Egypt’s rich history, but I also had the chance to immerse myself in the culture through authentic connections with the Egyptians on the trip. Traveling with my friend Monica made the experience even more special ☺️❤️🙌🏾 All the activities were thoughtfully selected, and I had an absolute blast while feeling safe and secure throughout. - Mo

  • Moni is a very special guide. Her knowledge of the area, her connection to the people, and her love for her country made the trip so much more magical. She knew not only how to curate the experience, but also the group of people that would be spending a lot of time together. Like with any group excursion, who you’re with matters and Moni expertly chose a group of people I want to continue to keep in touch with. The adventures, the friends, the food - even just writing this has me feeling nostalgic, grateful and hopeful. Only being in Egypt with Moni could do that. - Win

  • I had a lovely time in Egypt. Thank you so much for showing us your home and being so kind and patient with all of us. I heard from so many people that I look like I am glowing and refreshed. I feel lighter and so glad that I was able to learn so much about the rich history of Ancient Egypt. It was an incredible experience that I’ll never forget! - Sarah

  • This trip truly felt spiritual to me. Egypt reminds me so much of home, that it warmed my soul. I’m already planning my next few trips as this reminded me of my love for travel. Moni, you were an amazing leader and I would trust no one else to go to Egypt with after this. You took care of us and really made this experience fun and memorable. I can’t imagine how much energy went into planning this, and it shows!! So grateful! Thanks again for everything! - Rahel

  • The trip was incredible and made me want to stay in Cairo or live in Cairo. I will be back in Egypt, that’s for sure. I think you’re an amazing leader and you inspired me. I would recommend this trip to everyone I know because I can’t see anyone not enjoying going to Egypt with Moni! - Sophia

  • In talking with friends who have visited Egypt, it really seems like our trip was much better than all of theirs. I feel like the trip had a great mix of engaging activities and downtime. It was never boring and I was never eager to get going. Everyone in the group was so fun to be around. It really makes a big difference to be in a group of people who you actually like and vibe with. I also loved not having to worry about a thing and having everything taken care of. Everything we did, everywhere we stayed, everything we ate etc was fantastic. - Trav
