Bahariya Oasis is famed for its dates and olives, although it used to be the agricultural center for making wine during the Pharaonic period. Wine was then exported throughout the Nile Valley. Bahariya Oasis is the lowest point in Egypt and is surrounded by black hills; hence the local nickname for Bahariya is the black desert. The largest village there is Bawiti, surrounded by hot and cold springs, overlooking lush palm groves. There are several temples that are mostly now in ruins. One of the highlights is a jeep safari out to the black mountain northeast of Bawati. Our tour does not stop there, it is going further to Dakhla and Kharga Oasis, where you will be surprised by its scenery.
