The Western Desert, a
vast expanse that starts at the
western bank of the Nile and
continues well into Libya, is the
desert of deserts. Covering a total
of 2.8 million sq km and bordered by
Libya in the west, Sudan in the
south and the Mediterranean in the
north, it is a world of desolation
and beauty -- and one of the few
places in Egypt where you can go for
days at a time without seeing a
soul. Five isolated but thriving
oases dot this otherwise uninhabited
expanse: Kharga, Dakhla, Farafra,
Bahariyya, and to the north-west of
these, Siwa.
About 45 km north of
Farafra, the White Desert begins. It
is truly white, in clear contrast
with the yellow desert elsewhere. At
night, and many of the organized
trips out here include overnight
stay out in the desert, it gets a
character reminding of an Arctic
landscape.
The rock formations of the desert
are often quite dramatic, and you
should not miss out on the weird
rock balancing on top of a white
pillar
