Ancient Egyptian Deserts

Egypt is home to some of the most famous and awe-inspiring deserts, which all present their individual refreshing beauties and striking historical landmarks. An Egypt Desert Safari offers the perfect opportunity to explore these majestic landscapes. The Western Desert is primarily characterized by enormous stretches of sand dunes, rock formations, and oases, and the most renowned among these is the Siwa Oasis as well, where you may visit the miraculous Temple of Amun and the Shali Fortress. Besides, you can also visit the spectacular White Desert with its surreal white limestone formations and the Black Desert, which has dark volcanic rocks in contrast to the dazzling golden sands. The Eastern Desert runs snugly between the River Nile and the Red Sea in convulsed mountains and antiquity monasteries like the historic Monastery of St. Anthony and Monastery of St. Paul, which are popular pilgrimage centers for Christians. A small part of the grand Sahara, the Libyan Desert consists of a vast distance wherein one may go off-roading and explore ancient Egyptian rock art and the Cave of Swimmers, which is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site. These beautiful locations not only offer splendid views but also hold a long history coupled with culture and adventure through which visitors can witness their very own and unique way of experiencing the natural, along with ancient, beauties of Egypt.
