Desert Oasis
Desert Oasis
Nestled amidst Egypt’s vast desert expanses, the oases provide serene and verdant retreats amid the arid landscapes. One notable oasis is the Siwa Oasis, ensconced between the Qattara Depression and the Egyptian Sand Sea. Famous for its ancient Oracle Temple of Amun, Siwa offers a unique blend of historical intrigue and natural beauty. The Bahariya Oasis, closer to Cairo, boasts lush palm groves and hot springs, while the Dakhla Oasis captivates with its mud-brick architecture and ancient Islamic structures. These oases not only showcase the resilience of life in the desert but also offer a tranquil escape for those seeking a different facet of Egypt’s diverse landscape.
The Most Popular Desert Oases
Visiting these oases allows travelers to witness the unique ecosystems, cultural heritage, and historical sites that thrive amidst the desert, offering a refreshing contrast to the arid landscapes of Egypt.

It was our first time traveling abroad and she made it so easy. Having all of our cooking classes, tours, excursions and even dinner reservations booked by her, our honeymoon was stress-free! We had a few questions during the trip and she was super quick to respond! Thank you Monica for making our dream honeymoon a reality!!

I am Vegan, which can be tough to navigate when booking trips, and Byrd always figures out a way to make sure I'm accommodated for. Since working with Travel Byrds, we won't use anyone else. Thanks Byrd! Veronika Levine16 December 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Kika Caparisos was amazing and effortless. Everyone should use her to plan their vacations! Amanda Gauthier15 December 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Monica helped me plan an epic trip to Iceland this past summer. I had never used a travel service before as I am a pretty confident traveler but this was a new country for me and I was nervous to plan all the activities we wanted to fit in for my family on my own. We are also kinda “by the seat of our pants travelers” and I knew that Iceland in the summer needs some advanced planning and that I needed some help. Monica was so helpful and we camped in an RV, drove all around the entire island, hiked a glacier, rode horses on the the beach, went whale watching, saw many many waterfalls, puffins/sheep/seals. She was so helpful in planning our route, activities and ensuring everything was booked. I was definitely use her for trips in the future!

She helped us book and plan a 7-day Royal Caribbean cruise to Cozumel, the Cayman Islands, and Jamaica, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. Kika’s personal cruising experience and deep knowledge of Royal Caribbean were invaluable. She guided us through every detail, from choosing the best excursions to recommending the ideal dining times, must-see shows, and even insider tips that made our trip extra special. Her professionalism, warmth, and genuine passion for travel made working with her a joy. If you’re planning a cruise or any vacation, I highly recommend Kika and The Travel Byrds. Their expertise and personalized service ensure an unforgettable travel experience. Thank you, Kika, for helping us create incredible memories!

She heard exactly what we wanted to accomplish on our trip, she was organized, responsive, friendly and incredibly helpful. Their app is extremely user friendly and having all of our stops plotted out on a google map was so helpful. Tera was able to make our bucket list dream trip to see the northern lights in Iceland a reality! Can't wait to book my next bucket list trip with her.

She was fantastic to work with and took all the planning stress off my shoulders! Kim Capaci4 December 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gina Rader put together a truly unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime trip to Sicily for my father, my husband and I. She listened carefully to our desires and designed an itinerary that perfectly matched our interests. My father requested to find the home and flour mill of his maternal grandfather and then have an overview of the island. Gina connected us with Vivere Slow, an organization in Contessa Entellina, where we met Anna & Nino. They picked us up from the Palermo airport, stopped along some places on the west side to tour and eat while eventually making our way to Contessa Entellina. Anna was able to locate our ancestral line and also found living relatives which we met with. We were also able to visit the ancestral home and flour mill of my great grandfather. It was truly amazing and unforgettable. From there we mostly followed the coast all the way around the south, east and north arriving back in Palermo. We had many amazing tours in various cities and towns and also toured 2 wineries. Gina truly went above and beyond with her attention to details, her knowledge of the areas and exceptional service. All accommodations were top notch. We felt completely taken care of throughout the entire process of planning and executing. She provided us with a list of tips, points of interest in each place, emergency contact numbers, local weather app, recommendations, how and where to exchange dollars to euros, etc. We could not have asked for a better agent, and I highly recommend her to anyone considering a trip. Gina made our dreams into reality, and it was virtually a stress-free planning process. Malia May4 December 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kaela is simply the best travel agent to ever exist. She handles EVERYTHING so you don't have to. Would 1000/10 recommend working with her!! Mike Wagner23 November 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tera was super helpful and flexible in helping us plan out trip to Italy and France. It went off almost flawlessly, and the one travel hiccup we experienced (a train strike), she quickly helped us pivot arrnagements to make sure we arrived at our destination when we needed to be there. Tera's recommendations were great, and overall her help made the trip a fantastic one. She delivered a lot of value, and I would highly recommend her and the Travel Byrds team!
