White Desert

White Desert lies in the north of Qasr el Farafra. White Desert got its name from the calcium rock formations sculpted by million years of erosions and winds over a long time which was actually a sea bed with layers of sedimentary rocks made from fossils of marine creatures after the ocean dried up. The gleaming white rock formations give ethereal appearance to the area, making the experience magical and unforgettable.

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.
