The Little Bawiti museum. In the museum one gets a clear impression of the original Bedouin life, their customs and their dress, which comes to life through the beautiful clay statues, which are very creatively made by local resident and famous artist Mahmoud Eed.
Hot and cold water springs. In Bahariya are about 100 hot springs about 30 to 40 degrees Celsius and about 400 cold water springs. Scientific and medical studies have proven that the water in the Bahariya sooths diseases such as rheumatism, arthritis and various skin conditions.
Jebel Al Haramat is also called the Pyramid Mountain, because it has the shape of a pyramid. The beautiful mocha and ocher layers that make up the mountain show the ancient age of this exciting area where in 1935, the largest ever from the Cretaceous period, the Sauropod Paralitita Stromeri Dinosaur was found. The dinosaur was 25-to 30 meters long, its humerus has a length of 1 meter 69! Currently, the caves all around the exposed cave where the dinosaur was found are also uncovered. It is also very special to all of you to explore this area on a rocking camel! It is also a very nice place to enjoy the sunset.
