Car
If traveling by car within White Desert National Park, ensure you have a reliable 4x4 vehicle due to the challenging terrain. Start from the park's main entrance and head south towards the White Desert area, following the main road. After approximately 30 kilometers, look for signs indicating Khaled Mady Dunes. Continue along the marked paths, using GPS coordinates (Latitude 27.363659, Longitude 28.121878) for precise navigation. Expect to drive on sandy and rugged paths, so ensure your vehicle is equipped for off-road travel. There are no tolls, but park entry fees may apply. Parking is available near the dunes.

Public transportation options are limited. Take a bus or shared taxi from nearby towns like Farafra to the White Desert National Park entrance. From the entrance, hire a local guide or arrange for a 4x4 vehicle to reach Khaled Mady Dunes, as public transport does not extend to this remote area. A round trip from Farafra to the White Desert by taxi or 4x4 can cost approximately 200-300 EGP, depending on negotiation and vehicle type. Bus fares from Al Wadi Al Gadid to Farafra are additional.

Guided Tour
Consider booking a guided tour that includes transportation to Khaled Mady Dunes. Many local tour companies offer packages with pick-up from your accommodation, a guided trip to the dunes, and often a meal. This is the most convenient option, especially for first-time visitors. Check online or consult with local travel agents in towns like Farafra or Bahariya Oasis for available tours. Prices vary, but expect to pay around 1000 EGP per person for a full-day tour, which typically includes entrance fees.
