INTERNAL FLIGHTS TO DAKHLA OASIS
Please note that although there is a special flight schedule available from Cairo to Kharga oasis, we do not recommend taking this flight for transportation to Al Dakhla oasis. The flight schedule may not always be stable, and we have received feedback from previous guests that the flight can be subject to cancellations or delays.
Moreover, a special 3 hours on-ground airport transfer is arranged for airport transfers to and from Kharga Oasis due to the proximity of the closest internal airstrip.
Instead, the new road to Al Dakhla oasis offers a great and well-serviced route. To assist you with the journey, we have attached a map to Al Tarfa Desert Sanctuary Lodge at Al Dakhla oasis. This map will provide you with a clear and detailed route to follow, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable travel experience.
In the event that you decide to take the flight at your own responsibility, we kindly request that you get in touch with our booking team. They will provide you with more information and assist you in making the necessary arrangements.
