About This Destination
In Egypt’s Wahat region, the Black Desert was formed millions of years ago by volcanoes. The eruptions spread dark rocks across the sand, creating strange black hills that the wind and time shaped. Not far away, the White Desert looks like something from another world. Around 80 million years ago, this area was covered by ocean, and when the water disappeared, the remains of sea creatures and soft rocks were carved by the wind into amazing shapes. Walking there feels like traveling back in time to a completely different world.
