Discover the fascinating world of the oases and deserts of Egypt. We'll meditate by a fire, take silent walks, explore the area's natural beauty, and take in the Milky Way and stars. Nous allons explorer des oasis qui renferment des sites sacr\u00e9s, ainsi que la culture et l’artisanat des B\u00e9douins. Nous allons organiser nos excursions en Jeep 4 x 4 avec notre chauffeur exp\u00e9riment\u00e9 dans le d\u00e9sert.<\/span> We will stay in individual tents in the desert and in charming hotels in the oases.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
