Tag: Egypt camping

Beyond the fertile Nile Valley and the bustling cities lies another Egypt – a vast expanse of desert holding landscapes so surreal they seem plucked from another planet. Among the most captivating of these are the White Desert (Sahara el Beyda) and the nearby Black Desert, located in the Farafra depression of the Western Desert, roughly a 5-hour drive southwest of Cairo. A journey here offers a profound escape into silence, solitude, and geological wonder, culminating in the unforgettable experience of camping under a canopy of stars in one of the world’s most unique natural settings.
