Travel on the Stately desert Visit of oases Visit of oases
Completely can be to inspect oases with sufficient comfort, but do not expect to find there unusual restaurants or picturesque fires though you can meet groups of bedouins, sedentary round fires. In all oases hotels - from hotels with air conditioning to straw huts on the brink of the desert operate. The most part are as well operators of a safari, offering rounds on own oasis and in other oases. Can be to move, using public transport though during long bus moving you, maybe, should stand. If you decide to rent the car, you should fight with bad roads and small number of the fillings located in hundred parts of km from each other. Always have at for itself the passport in case the militia захотит to check it on control пт. In "capitals" of oases of Bakhary, Dakhla and Harga operate banks (but it is exclusive in Harge is the bank machine gun), in all oases there is at present a communication by phone (or perhaps and on the Web) with the external world.
Generally the climate in oases that as in small towns of the Plain of Nile, located at the same width - Bakhariya is similar to Minye, Harga - to Luxor, but air here is fresher (though the dust causes from time to time difficulties in sine). Winter myagenky in the afternoon and almost frosty a night (take a sleeping bag). In the summer the temperature can rise at midday to 50 "With and to 20 °C a night. The spring and autumn - the best time to come to oases when gardens blossom or there is a harvesting. At this time there are enough tourists with whom you can divide expenses.
Tourism is in hands of local authorities and businessmen, competence and which honesty are very various. In Bakhary there are a lot of operators of the safaris competing in business, in Farafra even less offers also are not present a tourist office. The tourist office of Dakhla will help guests to agree correctly with local drivers or operators of a safari, and in Harge the personnel of a tourist office and a museum itself conducts tours as additional work. As well as in other cases, it is better to address in some places and to compare their offers. But do not allow superfluous suspiciousness to prevail povsevremenno, as in reality the help at local level is necessary to you to receive a maximum from visit of oases, and eventually you should agree with someone. It is desirable, that at all this both parties remained are happy, as dissatisfied guides or tourists can spoil even the most marvellous place.

The nearest to the small town local men always use. If ladies, only after haze coming, never in the presence of guys, and absolutely covered галабийя here bathe. Tourists can avoid these restrictions, bathing in more isolated places, but the most part of ladies should be covered to avoid stickings from guides and uninvited admirers. The ladies travelling alone, should not enter into palm groves or gardens that here is considered as the invitation to sex.
