, that's the message you'll get. It is a vast stretch of land in the
Western Desert that borders Baharia Oasis to the north and Al-Farafra
to the south. The snow-white desert is actually made of chalk that
has been exposed for years to what geologists call "differential
weathering," the erosion of soft particles that results in eerie
protrusions of hard rock. This explains the very beautiful forms that
now fill the White Desert including shapes like domes, minarets, castles,
towers and so forth. The destination has proved a great attraction
to low-budget travelers who camp in the few oases, watch the fauna
and flora and enjoy the mild winter weather. P.M Visit the black desert,
Crystal Mountain and enjoying Sunset between the white charming rocks.
