Location:
Baharia, known in ancient times as the Northern Oasis, and sometimes called the Small Oasis, lies in a large depression 360 km southwest of Cairo.
How to reach it?
There is no international airport at Baharia and you have to be in Egypt to reach there. Our staff can assist you to reach the bus station to go to Baharia. If you need a private air-conditioned vehicle, Memphis tours can arrange that for you.
The road from Cairo was just a caravan route continuing on from there to the oases of Farafra, Dakhla, Kharga. Nowadays, the road is paved and more and more callers arrive as the years pass.
