White Desert
The White Desert is located approximately 45 km north of the oasis town of Farafra. It is renowned for its captivating landscape, characterized by bright white chalk rock formations shaped by wind erosion over millennia. Some notable features of the White Desert include:
Unique Formations: The chalk formations, some resembling giant mushrooms, animals, or other abstract shapes, are a result of weathering. The area appears particularly enchanting during sunrise and sunset when the rocks take on a pinkish or golden hue.
White Sands: The sand and rocks in this region have a distinct pale color, giving the area its name and adding a mystical quality.
Protected Area: Since 2002, the White Desert has been designated as a protected area to preserve its unique geological features and desert ecosystem.

We set off from Cairo in our air-conditioned vehicle at dawn, heading for the Baharia Oasis. Upon arrival, our Jeep awaits, primed for an exciting safari journey. Our excursion begins with a tour of the Black village; thereafter, we proceed to El Hez village, stopping at the cool spring where lunch will be savored. Our adventure continues as we traverse to view the Crystal Mountain and the Aqabat region. Eventually, we approach our ultimate destination: the White Desert. We explore the ancient realm (marked by mushroom-like and tent-shaped rocks), followed by the newly discovered expanse with its enchanting chalk-white limestone sculptures. As our exploration concludes, we return to the oasis where our vehicle stands by, ready to escort us back to Cairo.
