The Black Desert is situated in the
Egypt's Western Desert, at
50 kilometers from the Bahariya`s North. The other geographical
coordinates are 150 kilometers from the Farafra`s South, 50
kilometers from the Agabat`s South-East, 60 kilometers from the
Crystal Mountain's South-East and 100 kilometers from the White
Desert's South-East. The Black Desert region has no inhabitants
and the tourists who visit this desert usually come in organized
tours that include the Farafra Oasis, the Bahariya Oasis, the
Crystal Mountain and the White Desert. The contrast with the
White Desert is huge since there the ground formations are white
and in the Black Desert the ground is brown-orange. But the
Black Desert is not as black as some people may expect. Tourists
who were there said that this desert is totally atypical, making
you feel like you are not on Earth but on the other planet. In
the Black Desert the mountains has shapes of volcano and a big
quantity of little black-colored stones. The ground has a
brown-orange color and has black stones too. Black rocks with
soft peek, that were blunt by the wind over the years, are all
over the desert, and if you will climb one of this rocks you
will have a beautiful view of the surroundings. In case that you
plan a trip in the Black Desert, you can start with the Gebel
el-Ingliz, a rock dune that has on its top a decrepit which used
to be an outpost for the English army. The ruins from the former
colonial times and huge cliffs with beige sand and black basalt
are all over the place. Maybe a good advice for your trip is to
use a minivan or a 4x4 car and to have some knowledge about the
roads of the Black Desert. |
