Looking for 2 to 3 travelers to share a private White Desert camping trip in Egypt, Jan 7 to 9, 2027, under the new moon.

I'm a solo traveler from the US (in my 50s) and I speak English, French and some Spanish. I'm doing a 3-day, 2-night Black Desert and White Desert camping trip from Cairo, leaving Thursday, January 7 and returning Saturday, January 9. It's a private 4x4 trip, so I'd like to share it with a few other travelers to bring down the cost per person and have more company around the campfire.

The new moon falls on January 7, so both nights in camp should be properly dark. If you like the stars as much as the dunes, this is the time to go.

Included: guide, 4x4 transport, all meals, tents, mattresses, blankets and sleeping bags, and entry to the Black and White Deserts. Tips are not included. Per-person price will depend on our group size, but somewhere around $250 USD.

The trip: early departure on the 7th from Cairo to the Black Desert, Crystal Mountain, White Desert sunset, camp. On the 8th, sunrise among the chalk formations, deeper White desert exploration, camp in desert. Then to Bahariya Oasis for lunch and back to Cairo on the 9th.

The operator is White Desert Tour Egypt in Bahariya. Here is the tour page with the itinerary and 28 reviews: https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g303851-d32990564-3_Days_2_Nights_Black_and_White_Desert_Tours_Experience-Farafra_New_Valley_Governo.html

About me: relaxed pace, early riser, and I'll be photographing the landscape, so I'd love to be at the formations for sunrise and sunset. Looking for easygoing people who enjoy the same.

You'd confirm and pay the operator directly, and I won't handle anyone's money. Happy to do a quick video call first so we know we'll get along. Bienvenue aux voyageurs francophones aussi! If you're in Cairo around those dates, send me a message here.
