Private Bahariya Oasis & White and Black Deserts tour
The Bahariya Oasis is a naturally rich oasis set in Egypt’s Western Desert. It is about 230 miles from Cairo. During the era of the Pharaohs, the oasis was an agricultural center. It continued to prosper after as well because of its strategic location on the Libya–Nile Valley caravan routes. In 1996, the oasis returned to prominence when a huge burial site containing about 250 mummies was unearthed. The site dates to the Greco-Roman period and is now known as the Valley of the Golden Mummies.
