After the hike, your guide will prepare a traditional lunch cooked outdoors over a campfire. Each day lunch is prepared differently, but we typically serve a warm meal with vegetables, bread, hummus, yogurt, and other local delicacies.
The White Desert is located in a remote area further into the desert, and it offers a completely different experience from the Red Desert. In this area, there are fewer tourists.
Next is Wadi Sabet, a stunning valley with breathtaking views where visitors can enjoy a hike to explore the surrounding area.
While driving through the more remote areas, you may come across caves hidden in the mountains. These caves were built many years ago when there were no houses or villages. If you take a peek inside, you can discover how our ancestors used to live centuries ago.
