Your specialist and professional tour guide will meet you for the first time in the lobby of your hotel in Cairo or Giza to travel together to the charming Bahariya Oasis. Upon arrival, you will visit one of the most beautiful archaeological sites, a priceless treasure: the Valley of the Golden Mummies.

This valley is the largest cemetery discovered in Egypt at the beginning of this century, dating back to the famous Greek and Roman eras. These tombs contain a large number of mummies, up to 250, belonging to the high aristocracy that lived in the Egyptian oases. Although no inscriptions or texts were found inside these tombs detailing the names of the vast majority of them, many of the private belongings found inside these tombs, which contained precious treasures of jewelry and gold coins, clearly revealed the identities of their owners and also unveiled many secrets hidden for thousands of years.

You will also visit the famous Temple of Alexander the Great, which consists of 45 beautiful mudbrick chambers. However, the temple entrance, the two sacred chambers, and the temple wall were built of solid stone. This majestic temple is preceded by a granite altar. Several fine cartouches have been found, revealing that this temple was dedicated to Alexander the Great. There is a magnificent scene and engravings depicting Alexander the Great making offerings to the deities.

You will also see the impressive Temple of Ain Meftala, which consists of four shrines dating back to the Twenty-sixth Dynasty. These shrines were overseen by the famous priest Shebenkhonsu and completed by the governor of the Bahariya Oasis, Djedkhonsu Iufankh, during the reign of the powerful King Ahmose II.

We will stop for a delicious Bedouin lunch, and then we will move to the Black Mountain region. You will climb English Mountain, which is associated with several important historical events dating back to the British occupation of Egypt. It was given this name because of the British occupation forces stationed there during the British occupation of the oasis. The ancient ruins on its summit date back to the famous World War I. The mountain is distinguished by its majestic black peak, which contains rare basalt stones, a volcanic rock that indicates ancient volcanic activity in the region. It reaches a height of 200 meters.

You will spend the night in one of the comfortable hotels in Bahariya to be ready to explore the White Desert the next day.

You will also see the Valley of Agabat, which is distinguished by its magnificent rock formations of various shapes and sizes, dominated by diverse soil colors created by nature millions of years ago.
