- Black Desert - The Black Desert is a region characterized by volcano-shaped and widely spaced mounds, stretching about 30 km in western Egypt between the White Desert in the south and the Bahariya Oasis in the north. Most of these mounds are topped with basalt sills, giving them their distinctive black color.
- Black Desert - The mounds in the Black Desert, which can reach up to 100 m in height, vary in size, composition, height, and shape. Some are dark and consist of iron quartzite, while others are more reddish due to their iron sandstone surface rocks. On the outskirts of the Black Desert are volcanic hills that indicate the eruption of dark volcanic dolerite, dating back to the Jurassic period 180 million years ago.
- Bawiti - El-Wahat el-Bahariya, or el-Bahariya, is a depression and a naturally rich oasis in Egypt’s Western Desert. It is located approximately 370 km from Cairo. The roughly oval-shaped valley extends from northeast to southwest, measuring 94 km in length, with a maximum width of 42 km, and covering an area of about 2000 km².
The valley is surrounded by mountains and has numerous springs. Situated in the Giza Governorate, its main economic sectors are agriculture, iron ore mining, and tourism. The primary agricultural products include guavas, mangos, dates, and olives.
