White and Black Desert
Two completely different desert landscapes on the same road west of Cairo. The Black Desert comes first. The White Desert is where most people camp.
Two Deserts, One Road
The Black Desert and the White Desert are both in Egypt's Western Desert, reached via the road toward Farafra. The Black Desert appears first: volcanic hills covered in black rocks and dark basalt, rising sharply from the sand. Further along, the landscape shifts completely. The White Desert is a surreal open expanse of chalk formations sculpted by centuries of wind into mushroom shapes, columns, and abstract forms that look different from every angle. Most programs include a night of camping here. The silence is total, the stars are extraordinary, and the formations at sunrise are unlike anything else in Egypt.
