An overnight desert safari in Egypt is very different from an ordinary day tour.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

During the day, you’re moving.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

You drive through the desert.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Stop at viewpoints.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Explore rock formations.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Cross dunes.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Take photographs.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Maybe try sandboarding.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

But after sunset, the whole experience changes.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The vehicles stop.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The landscape becomes dark.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Dinner is prepared.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The desert gets quieter.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Stars begin appearing.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

And instead of driving back to a hotel, you stay.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

That night in the desert is often the part travelers remember most.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

For visitors starting in Cairo, one of the most popular ways to experience an overnight desert safari in Egypt<\/strong> is through Bahariya Oasis and into the Black Desert, Crystal Mountain, Agabat Valley and White Desert.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Egypt’s official tourism portal specifically promotes desert camping around Bahariya and says licensed guides and local tour companies can arrange tents, food and other equipment for overnight trips. It also recommends using experienced licensed guides with suitable 4×4 vehicles when leaving the oasis.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The experience can include:<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

4×4 desert driving,<\/p>

sunset,<\/p>

a freshly prepared dinner,<\/p>

campfire or evening tea,<\/p>

sleeping in tents,<\/p>

stargazing,<\/p>

and waking up for sunrise.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

But before booking, there are some practical questions almost everyone asks.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Are there toilets?<\/p>

Are there showers?<\/p>

Is the tent comfortable?<\/p>

Does it get cold?<\/p>

Can you charge your phone?<\/p>

Will you have mobile reception?<\/p>

What should you bring?<\/p>

And is one night enough?<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

This guide answers all of that.<\/p>
