Fun in the Bahariya Oasis

In the Bahariya Oasis we toured around by 4x4 as the town itself didn't have much close by to look at. So here is a photo essay of the activities we had in and around this Oasis!

A hot spring...somewhere in the desert at the side of the road.

Heading down to a tomb...in a random place in the middle of a village.

The tomb inside...

Now this is traditional desert imagery!

This is what an oasis looks like.



Lunch provided by our drivers at a road side stop.



A very big "hill" in the black desert - we climbed it!

 

Ross hit the top first...no kidding...

View from the top of the "hill" out to the black desert.

Jessie with a camel at a camel farm we visited.

Lots of camels at the camel farm.

Our guide and driver trying to get the guard out of bed as he was supposed to accompany our entourage...we waited over an  hour and finally got clearance to go without him. He won that one I guess.

One of the many  many check stops.

 An ocean of sand.

The frame of an old airplane sitting in the middle of the desert.

Sand dunes for fun! And at the bottom...1000s of seashells. Makes your mind boggle!

Good air!



Happy family ... we're DOING stuff!



Another road side/dune side lunch.

The road to the Siwa Oasis. Waaaaaaater!

We're in the Siwa Oasis...Wow...a nice hotel for a change.
