✨ THE VOYAGE OF THE DESERT OASIS

CHAPTER II — BENEATH THE STARS 🌌

An extraordinary photography adventure by The Lenscape

Get ready for an EPIC desert adventure filled with breathtaking landscapes, incredible models, cinematic fashion shoots and a night under the stars that you’ll never forget.

We’re returning to Egypt’s extraordinary White and Black Deserts for another unforgettable creative expedition — with new moments to capture, new memories to make, and the magic of the desert waiting to unfold.

From a vintage palace in Cairo to golden desert sunsets, sunrise shoots, a private 4x4 expedition and our very own desert camp beneath the new moon, this is so much more than a photography trip. It’s an adventure for creatives who want to explore, collaborate and create something truly special.

Pack your camera, prepare for the unexpected, and join us beneath the stars.

 

🏜️ THE ADVENTURE ITINERARY

Arrival Day — Your Journey Begins

All adventurers will arrive in Cairo the day before Day 1, giving everyone time to settle in and get ready for the experience ahead.

✈️ Arrival airports: Cairo International Airport or Cairo Sphinx Airport.

Your accommodation is provided for this arrival night, so you can arrive, unwind and prepare for the adventure ahead.

DAY 1 — PALACE GLAMOUR & SUNSET ON THE NILE

We begin in style with a fashion shoot at Palm Palace, a beautiful vintage palace offering an incredible backdrop for elegant, cinematic imagery.

Think timeless fashion, editorial portraits and a location full of character.

As the afternoon unfolds, we’ll leave the palace behind and head out onto the Nile aboard a traditional felucca boat, watching the sun sink below the horizon as Cairo comes alive around us.

An unforgettable opening to our journey — and the perfect opportunity to get to know your fellow creatives before we head into the wilderness.

DAY 2 — INTO THE WHITE DESERT

The real expedition begins!

We’ll leave Cairo behind and journey approximately four hours towards the extraordinary White Desert, arriving at our accommodation, Tzila.

After settling in, we’ll head out to explore the surroundings and make the most of the golden evening light with a sunset and evening shoot.

We’ll have the freedom to explore the location and its surrounding areas, discovering beautiful settings for fashion, portraiture and creative storytelling.

As the light fades across the desert landscape, we’ll capture the first of many magical moments.

DAY 3 — THE BLACK DESERT AT SUNRISE

An early start awaits!

We’ll set off while the world is still waking up, heading towards the dramatic volcanic hills of the Black Desert to catch the sunrise and make the most of that beautiful early-morning light.

Expect striking landscapes, dramatic contrasts, adventurous fashion editorials and incredible opportunities for portraits.

After our morning shoot and exploration, we’ll return to relax and recharge at Tzila — because even the most adventurous photographers need a little downtime!

DAY 4 — DEEP INTO THE DESERT: OUR PRIVATE CAMPING EXPEDITION

This is the day the adventure reaches another level.

We’ll leave our larger suitcases safely at Tzila and pack only what we need for the expedition ahead.

Climbing aboard our 4x4 vehicles with experienced local guides, we’ll venture deep into the desert, exploring remarkable landscapes and stopping at carefully chosen locations along the way for a series of creative shoots.

Our destination? A private desert camp, prepared by our guides in the heart of this extraordinary wilderness.

As the sun begins to set, we’ll create one final golden-hour shoot before gathering around the campfire for dinner prepared by our desert team.

Then, as the night sky emerges above us, the real magic begins.

With our trip planned around the new moon, we’ll have an exciting opportunity to explore creative night photography, including light painting and astrophotography for those who want to capture the stars.

Imagine the silence of the desert, the glow of the campfire, an incredible sky overhead and a group of creatives sharing an experience far removed from everyday life.

One night. A private camp. A sky full of possibilities.

DAY 5 — SUNRISE IN THE WILDERNESS & RETURN TO CAIRO

We’ll wake early to watch the desert transform in the morning light.

After breakfast prepared by our camp team, we’ll enjoy one final early-morning shoot, making the most of the incredible surroundings before beginning our journey back.

We’ll collect our luggage from Tzila and travel back to Cairo, bringing our desert expedition to a close.

Accommodation in Cairo is provided for this final night, so there’s no need to rush straight to the airport.

 

📸 OPTIONAL DAY 6 — PYRAMIDS, ROOFTOPS & NEW FACES

Not ready for the adventure to end?

For those who want to keep creating, there’s an optional additional day in Cairo, with the opportunity to arrange a shoot at a rooftop overlooking the pyramids or at the pyramids themselves.

This is a fantastic chance to collaborate with local Egyptian models and discover new faces, adding a different cultural dimension to your portfolio.

You can shoot with local models or request to work with a model already participating in the trip. The rooftop location also offers outfits and dresses available to rent, opening up even more possibilities for creative styling.

Whether you’re after striking portraits, fashion editorials or a fresh perspective for your portfolio, this is your chance to make the most of your time in Egypt.

Please enquire for arrangements and any additional costs associated with the optional shoot day.
