You can enter from Siwa or other Oasis, depends how much time you have to travel. We've done it for two weeks into the Gilf Kibir. Its one of our favorite places to visit. The Great Sand Sea, you wont forget it. Hard to describe the feeling of driving over the dunes but wait until you do it, you'll want... More

Go safar, go sand boarding and do not miss the hot spring in the middle of the desert
