Egyptian Oasis Adventure
Camping In The Egyptian Desert
Tour The Egyptian White Desert and El Farafra Oases
A note about meals
Please note that some meals will be served in local desert style. For your Egyptian breakfast, expect orange juice, tea and coffee, marmalade, a selection of two cheeses, beans, and eggs. A picnic lunch will typically include either tuna, sausage, sardines or beef with a green salad or a salad of cheese, tomato and fruit. For dinner, expect a beef or chicken main coarse, with vegetable and rice or pasta. Please inform your hosts in advance of dietary requests.
SANITARY FACILITIES:
For that one night camping, please note that there are no private facilities etc. So it will be the Bedouin’s way.
