Travel: Desert day-trips

"A short drive out of the city will put you in a whole new world of vast dunes and bare rock. There’s so much to see and experience that you don’t necessarily have to be a happy camper to enjoy the desert. And with sand stretching from the Western Desert to the oases of Bahariyya, Farafra, Dakhla and Kharga, you don’t even need a long weekend to try your hand at desert exploration.
What makes taking a desert day trip so special is that you don’t have a fixed itinerary and can explore as much as you want — as long as you know where you’re heading and how to get back to where you started. You move at your own pace and don’t have to worry about waiting for others as you would with a tour on a bus. If you find a place particularly interesting and want to explore some more, or take a short hike, you can easily do so."
