The Black Desert lies near Bahariya Oasis, a little north to White Desert. Black Desert got its name from the mountains covered with a layer of black basalt rocks and volcanic rocks that erupted from the volcanic hills ages ago. The black desert has also some red hills with ferruginous sandstone and earthy minerals. These mountains on the yellow sands of Western Desert make Black Desert a sight to behold and enhance the charm of Egypt Desert experiences.
Egyptian Desert takes you through an endless stunning range of desert landscapes coupled with scenic sunsets and starry night skies.
Egypt Tours are worth visiting that lets you leave the modern world behind and enjoy the naturally deserted retreat kingdoms of ancient culture and lifestyle.
