Enjoy the White Desert Reserve, Egypt's first geopark, where the White Desert contains a group of sand dunes and valleys with vegetation that contains most of the wildlife living in the region, as well as prehistoric artefacts and tools, as well as the remains of rare tombs, caves, and ancient mummies.

Enjoy the calcifications of the White Desert, which was formed 80 million years ago, and its calcifications are of a unique type called karst, which is a very ancient geological phenomenon. Over time these calcifications have formed caves, which in turn have been transformed by erosion factors into high crystals of calcite ore in various shapes such as mushrooms and various other shapes. It has a special area called the mushroom area, which is very attractive to tourists.

Traveling the White Desert is similar to exploring an art museum's corridors.  Every natural structure there is unique and interesting. Find out what desert life is like.
