We booked the 6 night Oasis Overland tour trough Siwa oasis, the Sand desert, Bahariya and the White desert, with 2 nights camping in the desert.

We booked a room and tour directly via the Minamar Hotel website. Filthy and bug-infested shabby rooms would be our first impressions after checking in. It as downhill after that. The place is scary bad. No TV, no hot water,and no electricity after 9 PM. The "lake location" offers little as far as scenery, and you are very far away... more
