Itinerary
Day 1
Evening pickup from Cairo, transfer to a nearby desert camp for an authentic Bedouin welcome, tea, campfire stories and stargazing, then return to central Cairo.
Hotel pickup in Cairo (meeting with representative)
Meet your representative in your hotel lobby. The representative will hold a sign reading "Taste of Egypt" and confirm passenger names before departure. Pickup time shown here follows the activity's evening schedule; your exact pickup time will be confirmed at booking.
Tips from local experts:
- Be in the hotel lobby 5–10 minutes before the scheduled pickup; the representative will hold a sign reading "Taste of Egypt".
- Have a small personal bag with essentials (camera, light jacket); the vehicle has limited storage during short transfers.
- Notify the operator in advance of any mobility needs; this experience is not wheelchair accessible.
Drive to desert camp
Short evening transfer from central Cairo toward the nearby desert area/plateau where the Bedouin camp is located. Enjoy the changing light as you leave the city behind.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect a 20–40 minute drive depending on your hotel location in Cairo; windows are best for photos as the city lights fade.
- Wear a light layer: desert temperatures drop after sunset even in warm months.
- Keep motion-sickness remedies handy if you or your partner are sensitive to winding roads.
Bedouin camp: welcome, tea, campfire, storytelling & stargazing (meal served at camp)
Arrive at the desert camp for a Bedouin welcome with warm tea, seating around the campfire, storytelling and guided stargazing. A traditional meal is served at the camp and is listed as obligatory in the booking details (meal cost is not included in the standard inclusions). The host and small team will manage the campfire and seating; this is a relaxed, intimate experience intended for couples.
Tips from local experts:
- If you plan to have the required meal at the camp, advise dietary restrictions at booking so the host can accommodate where possible.
- Bring a compact flashlight or use phone torch briefly when moving; keep light low for best stargazing.
- Cameras with manual/long-exposure settings capture the night sky best; ask staff for a stable spot to rest your camera during photos.
Return transfer to Cairo hotels
Board the vehicle for the return transfer to central Cairo hotels. The transfer is timed to bring guests back to their hotels soon after the camp experience concludes.
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm your desired hotel drop-off with the representative before departure from the camp.
- Allow a short window for final goodbyes and photo-taking at the camp before boarding.
- Keep your valuables with you during transfers rather than leaving them in the vehicle overnight.
