DESERT AND OASIS

Far from the fertile banks of the Nile, Egypt consists of a large ocean of golden dunes and rocky plains. El Fayoum, Kharga, Dakhla, Farafra, Bahariyya and Siwa: the oases of Western Egypt appear to be islands not only in the seemingly endless expanse of Saharan sand, but also in time.
In the White Desert, the winds of time have sculpted the limestone rock into bizarre shapes: mushrooms, cones, columns, and table mountains. At dusk and dawn, the white formations shine in luminous pastel colors.
See the sunrise from the back of a camel, or the spectacular views from on top of a sand dune into the majestic expanse of desert. Nature lovers will be amazed by the colorful multitudes of rare birds.
Slip under the shade of a palm tree at an idyllic oasis during the day or share some tea in a Bedouin camp at nightfall. Get some comfort for your body and soul in one the warm sulphur springs. You’ll feel as if you’ve unearthed all of the desert’s great secrets…
