October 2020 - March 2021:
Six months at Bahariya! No Corona!!! Much time for painting, drawing and photography. And naturaly for develloping our camp. Around the pool we build new walls and steps and we moved a lot of sand. To main street now we have a nice new gate.

October - December 2019: Ten nice weeks, nice guests, nice tours at White Desert, Westside and Fayoum - what do you need more! Rahab knows how to bring desert feeling to the people. Also you feel at home, if you stay in our camp some days before or after your tour.

After this we worked in our kitchen room and made new tubes for water supply. But also we had good time for recreation. Often we used our pool and before we left, Rahab invited us and many of his friends for a grill party:

December 2018: Ten weeks passed so fast. More dates then last jear (4 to) and some more sheeps and goats. After our tour with friends around White Desert we worked at the camp. New elektricity in the hall and ceramic in the kitchen house. At the end we begin to drill a new spring to make a better water supply for our palm trees. höhle window wasserbohrung
March 2018: A nice month at our second home. It makes so much fun to work in our atelier and Margot has her first vernissage with sand pictures. Also we made a short trip to our friend Abu Sayyed at Kharga-Lebekha, (with little problems with tourist police), but at the end everything was ok.

December 2017: Nice, quiet three months. It makes much fun to work each morning in our atelier. The palm trees produced more than 3 tons of dates, a new little sheep and some works around (ceramics, wall covering, new fireplace etc.) And a tour over Alexandria, El Alamein, Marsa Matrouh to Siwa Oasis - what do you need more :-)

March 2017: Four pretty weeks at Bahariya. At first we finished our atelier (the new room for guests), and suddenly it would be used first time. After this, we had a nice tour through Crystal-Area, Aquabat, White Desert and Westside, where we could make good new pictures. With a big grill feast at Ain Ghaba, where the best flute-player of Bahariya with his group played for us and a two day stop at Blue Lotus at Sakkara, where we could visit the pyramid and museum and the khalili-market at Cairo, we finished our time.
