What to see in Egypt
Bahariya Oasis
Tourist attractions Bahariya Oasis
The stunning Bahariya Oasis is a hidden gem tucked away in the heart of Egypt's Western Desert. It lies just 365 km from Cairo, making it the most accessible of the desert circuit oases. This is a place that will captivate your senses and transport you to a world of wonder and adventure.
During the Roman times, the oasis was an agricultural epicenter, known for its wine production. In recent years, Bahariya has become popular with tourists thanks to impressive archaeological finds, such as the Golden Mummies.
Bahariya is truly a landscape to marvel at. As you enter the oasis, you're welcomed by a sea of palm trees, lush greenery, and crystal clear springs that seem to magically emerge from the desert.
Prepare to be struck by the stark contrast of this oasis against the vastness of the surrounding desert and take a few moments to wonder at how nature has created such a magnificent landscape.
What to see in Bahariya
One of the must-see attractions in Bahariya is the Valley of the Golden Mummies, where you can witness over 2000 years of history come to life. The ancient Egyptians buried their elite in this valley, and the mummies have been remarkably preserved, providing us with a glimpse into their fascinating civilization.
Other highlightS of the area are the sand dunes that stretch as far as the eye can see. These magnificent mounds offer a variety of activities for different tastes. Experience the thrill of sandboarding or take a slower-paced camel ride through the dunes to watch the sunset over the horizon.
The Bahariya Oasis is also home to the fascinating Black Desert, where volcanic rocks have formed a stunning and eerie landscape. You can take a jeep tour through this surreal landscape, and wonder at the incredible shapes and formations created by nature.
Finally, no trip to Bahariya would be complete without a visit to the hot springs. These natural hot tubs are the perfect way to relax and unwind after a day of exploring. The water is said to have healing properties, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
A visit to the magical Bahariya Oasis will undoubtedly leave you in awe and give you memories to last a lifetime.
