Místa, která navštívíte
The Black Desert lies in Egypt's Western Desert, south of Bahariya Oasis, where volcanic activity left dolerite and basalt deposits that weathered and scattered dark stone fragments across ochre-colored hills, some rising close to 100 metres. Popular on Western Desert safaris, the area is usually visited together with the neighboring White Desert and Bahariya Oasis.
Crystal Mountain is a small natural rock arch in Egypt's White Desert, about 120 km from Farafra between Bahariya and Farafra oases. Its surface is studded with sparkling barite and calcite crystals embedded in eroded chalk limestone, rather than quartz as often assumed. A popular stop on White Desert safaris, part of the formation was damaged during nearby road construction.
