White Desert National Park in Egypt offers a breathtaking, otherworldly landscape of chalk rock formations, best explored during the cooler months from October to April to avoid extreme summer heat. Due to its remote and rugged nature, a guided visit with a licensed local driver and a 4x4 vehicle is essential and strongly recommended; solo exploration is dangerous. Typical visits range from a full day trip to 1-2 nights of camping, with overnight stays being highly recommended for stargazing. Costs vary widely but expect to pay approximately $100-$300+ per person for a guided multi-day tour, including permits and camping. Accessibility is via 4x4 from nearby oases like Farafra or Bahariya. Visitors should prepare for desert conditions, including packing layers, sun protection, and sufficient water, to fully enjoy this unique geological wonder.
