Itinerary description
I upload this because there are nowhere signs in Bawiti (the main village of the oasis) that can lead you to the palm trees where you can eat dates, and also to the salty lake of Bahariya Oasis.
Besides there are many local tourist guides who will ask you many times to charge you a lot in order to show you by walk the natural beauties that belong to everybody. They will also remind you that there is no sign and you cannot find your way unless you have a specific map or a trail like this.
On the way back the trail passes very close from the area where the natural Hot Springs are located.
This trail was made by walking and cycling together.

Sounds awesome!
Do you think it's possible to do by foot?
Ciao! I'd like to perform a 2000 km cycling around egypt and I'm really interested in what you've done... your website is not available anymore () do you have an alternative blog?
