Capacity is limited and
early reservations are recommended.

additional information about the excursions listed below, please

BAHARIYA OASIS & EL GARA CAVE
February 15-17, 2008
On the first day of our trip, we will visit a few archaeological sites in Bahariya Oasis. On the second day, we will drive off-road to El Gara Cave, a natural hollow formed by rain in the Eocene-period (55 million year ago) limestone.
Water dissolved the limestone to form beautiful stalactities and stalagmites. Prehistoric people lived in the cave probably in late Neolithic times, as evidenced by the artifacts and rock art found in the cave.
COST PER PERSON (sharing a double):
ARCE Members: LE1400
Non-Members: LE1450
Single supplement: LE50
Price includes transportation (by bus from Cairo to Bahariya Oasis and 4X4 vehicles until the end of the trip), accommodation (1 night in a hotel in Bahariya and 1 night camping) on full board basis, permissions and guide.
Deadline for reservations: 7 February, 2008
For more information or to make a reservation please contact Mary Sadek, by phone (2794 8239 or 2795 8683) or email.
