Day 3: White Desert Leisure Time and Transfer to Cairo

Wake up and enjoy a spectacular sunrise and a nice breakfast at your campsite. The appearance of the White Desert can change dramatically as the sun inches its way up over the horizon, so it is definitely making sure that you are awake to see this happen. You will also have some free time to enjoy as you wish, and then you will be driven back to Cairo and you will be dropped off at whichever hotel you are staying in.
