The White Desert covers an area of about 6,000 square kilometers on the southwest of Cairo. It is a place that no visitor to the New Valley should miss. It gains its amazement form its white sands, in contrast with the yellow sands elsewhere. The Massive weird rock formations in white, cream color are the main attractions of a desert white in color.
Watching a desert white is like traveling to the other end of the world. Considerably high chalk-colored hills make the white desert look like an Arctic landscape with icebergs. However, it is remarkable how deep blue the sky is there.
What makes the white desert part of Egypt travel adventure is its state as an open museum for geographical phenomena, fossils, and wild life. It is a natural reserve not only for being a desert white in color, but also for being the land of rare plants, acacia trees, calcified trees, and springs. The white desert is the home for many animals on the verge of extinction. There you will watch the Egyptian gazelles, white gazelles and rams.
It hosts monuments that go back to the era before the Christ and the Roman era. The white desert is also the location for rare caves, graveyards, as well as mummies and carved inscriptions.
