The oases and the Western Desert · Bawiti, Bahariya Oasis

The tables of Bahariya

Chicken, rice and stewed vegetables, served before or after the desert.

€ Budget

Bawiti has no restaurants in the urban sense: houses serve a full meal, often included in an excursion's price. It is camp food, improved by being at a table.

The extra bit

Say at booking if you do not eat meat: otherwise the meal contains it by default.

Know before you go

Meals are often included in the desert package: check before paying twice.

    An oasis that Cairo coaches reach in a day: palm groves, hot springs, black-capped hills to the south.
