White Desert

　　    In TV dramas and movies, the first impression deserts give us is their color—golden sands and dry climates make them a place many tourists hesitate to visit. But did you know? Apart from yellow deserts, there are also white deserts in the world, and this one is Egypt’s White Desert.

　　    The White Desert is located in the northern part of Farafra town in Egypt’s New Valley Governorate, about 45 kilometers from Farafra. The sand here is a creamy, snow-white color, forming a striking contrast with the surrounding yellow desert. This unique white desert is a well-known destination for camping and tourism in Egypt. Many visitors enjoy camping here, lying in the white sands while gazing at the starry sky. At night, the sky over the White Desert is especially blue, the air incredibly pure, and the moon and stars exceptionally bright and beautiful—making camping the most popular activity here.

　　    Besides the white sand, the desert also features numerous chalk rock formations, which are geological wonders gifted by nature. Towering chalk rock layers stand in Egypt’s White Desert like giant mushroom clusters. In fact, they were “carved” by thousands of years of sandstorms, making for a very interesting sight.
