Great Sand Sea

The third-largest sand accumulation in the world (a sand dune the size of England) spans more than 600 kilometers forming a natural barrier between Libya and Egypt.

4WD madness in the sand! Big dunes, fossil beds, sand boarding, sunset fire and tea! Also a hot springs stop. Good times! You might get a little car sick so be prepared. Our tour ended at a hot spring for dinner near town. Only thing is it’s always a dudefest so ladies, bring something modest because, Egypt.

Fatnis Island (Fantasy Island)

Covered in lush palm trees with a secluded freshwater pool in its center, this island is a popular spot for swimming and sunbathing.

Reviewed By SoniaLovesHairyFish - Guangzhou, China

It is a truly magical place to watch the sunset. Just some practical tips: 1. Cycling there is more fun, but if you opt for a tuk-tuk (which can be shares between 4-5 people), expect to pay LE50 for return. 2. Try the date milkshake (LE30), but remember to ask them not to put any sugar as the date is very sweet already! 3. Don't leave too soon after the sunset. Wait a little longer until you see the most amazing colours of the sky. (On the day we were there, sunset time was 5:37pm, but at around 5:50, you saw these!)
