About Bahariya Oasis
Why travellers fall for Bahariya Oasis
The green gateway to the Western Desert: hot springs under the stars, the volcanic Black Desert, Crystal Mountain and the Golden Mummies.
Bahariya is where every great Western Desert journey begins. The oasis town of Bawiti sits among palm groves and hot springs, and just beyond it the landscape turns surreal: cones of black volcanic rock, a ridge of glittering quartz at Crystal Mountain, and the valley of Agabat.
Stay in an eco-lodge, soak in a natural hot spring after a day in the dunes, and meet the Bedouin families who have guided travellers here for generations.
