Let’s Get Started…

Day 1: Arrival Day

When you book customized group trips to Egypt with Yup Africano, we ensure that you reach day 1 early, around 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. So that the first day can be fully utilized. When you buy a full package with us, everything is included in it, from hotel bookings to meals and flight transfers. Thus, we ensure that you get an early check-in at your hotel. Upon check-in, Yup Africano recommends that you freshen up and relax a bit to let go of all the travel fatigue. After welcome drinks and lunch around 1 p.m., you must visit the first place mentioned below.

Place 1

Badr Museum

Since on day 1, you will be heading out in the afternoon hours when the sun is at its peak, we advise that you visit a local museum. Badr Museum is one of the best museums in Farafra Oasis. The museum is dedicated to showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the region. Here, you may explore exhibits featuring traditional crafts, artifacts, and artwork. Gaining historical insights on the first day gives you a lot of inspiration to enjoy the rest of the trip in a fun and jovial way. You may gain insight into the history and customs of the local Bedouin communities by visiting the Badr Museum. The museum is so rich and informative that we highly recommend you include a trip to Egypt from Dubai in your upcoming holiday plans.

Place 2

Ain Abu Hawas

Ain Abu Hawas is a natural spring that is very popular among both tourists and locals for its therapeutic properties and scenic beauty. On day 1, after exploring the Badr Museum for a couple of hours, you can visit this natural spring and enjoy its surroundings. The scenic beauty of this place is so pretty that you must include Farafra Oasis tour packages in your Egypt trip. Here, you can even enjoy a refreshing dip in the cool waters of the spring, surrounded by lush vegetation and breathtaking desert landscapes.

Day 2

After having a relaxing day 1, we suggest you go to bed early in the evening and wake up early in the morning. To visit the third-top place in Farafra Oasis.

Place 3

Bir Sitta Hot Spring

After waking up early in the morning, you can straightaway head over to the hot water spring “Bir Sitta.” Rather than taking the usual shower in an enclosed bathroom for a change, you may take a dip in this hot spring, which is full of healing elements. Relax and unwind in this hot spring while you appreciate the sunrise, and then head over to your hotel room for a lavish local breakfast.

Place 4

Crystal Mountain

As day 2 begins early in the morning, we suggest you take it a bit easy on day 2 during the afternoon hours and head out to visit the next places around 3–4 pm. Crystal Mountain is next on our list; it is a geological marvel and the kind of place one has never imagined earlier. The mountain is adorned with sparkling quartz crystals that are embedded within its rocky surface. The sparkling crystals in the backdrop of Farafra Dessert offer such a surreal experience that you must certainly include it in your Egypt tour packages. Here, Yup Africano will arrange a local guide for you so that you may learn about the history of the mountain and its significance to the local Bedouin tribes, who once mined these precious gems for trade and adornment.

Day 3

On day 3, you may wake up relaxed and late, enjoy your breakfast in the hotel, and then get ready for the next place on our list.

Place 5

Black Desert

Any Farafra Oasis tour package is incomplete without a visit to this amazing place. Farafra Oasis is famous for its black and white desserts across the world. Once you are ready, you can head out into the enigmatic Black Desert. This place is named so because of its volcanic rock formations, which are in stark contrast to the golden sands of the desert. Here, you can book an SUV ride and even trek through this lunar-like landscape.

Place 6

White Desert National Park

If you thought you would find only chicken and mushrooms in your soup, then you were pretty wrong. The White Dessert National Park in Farafra Oasis is famous for its iconic white rocks that are shaped like chickens and mushrooms. You can explore the surreal landscapes of the White Desert during the afternoon or evening hours of day 3. The white rock formation is the result of unique limestone formations that were sculpted by wind erosion over several thousands of years.

Day 4

Day 4 is the final day in Farafra Oasis, and thus we reserved the best for last. On day 4, we suggest you visit the local village, where you can pick up some souvenirs and gifts for yourself.

Place 7

Farafra Village

In contrast to what you are used to in Dubai, instead of skyscrapers, you will be seeing the charming village of Farafra, with its traditional mud-brick houses. You will find long lines of narrow alleyways, and the local markets bustle with vendors selling handmade crafts and souvenirs. This is the best place for women. From textiles to local beaded jewelry, they will find it all here. Here you may interact with friendly residents, try some authentic Egyptian cuisine at local eateries, and even try their popular street food options. In the evening, you may head over to your next destination in Egypt. With Yup Africano, one of the popular packages is the Farafra to Bahariya Oasis tour package. You may book this and head over to Bahariya for another week filled with fun and excitement.
