The White desert is a surreal area 45 km north of Farafra in the Western Desert.
The area is full of bizarre white formations shaped by wind erosion, which reminded me of the Arctic as the sand looked like snow!
These wonderful sculptures sometimes look like giant mushrooms, ostriches, camels, hawks and other weird shapes.
Camping here is a wonderful experience, as you will be able to witness the spectacular sunset and sunrise which turn the white shapes into pink, orange and red, a most incredible sight!
Tents are unnecessary, as you will most likely enjoy staring at the amazing starry sky, but make sure you bring a warm sleeping bag if you come in the winter, as the nights get incredibly chilly.
