Our program is for one, two or three nights, passing through the villages and watching the most beautiful landscape in Upper Egypt extending over the Nile River, watching natural landscapes such as (Sunset, sunrise, star at night, mountain, palm trees, birds, cows, buffalo) Visiting a camel market in Daru on Tuesday only according to the program you choose..
