You must go to the black and white desert in Egypt! It's so worth it!

Black and white desert! It is like half sea water and half fire. It is completely different from the Sahara Desert we know. You can see the magnificent Milky Way with the naked eye. It’s basically like sleeping under a galaxy of stars and opening your eyes to see a sky full of stars. I have to say again that this kind of experience is definitely a rare one in life! It's really worth a visit! The black and white deserts are part of the Sahara Desert, but I think they are definitely the most unique in this desert. -The Black Desert is made up of ancient volcanoes, which were formed by plate compression hundreds of millions of years ago. But now they have long been silent, and are constantly eroded and buried by wind and sand, forming a hell-like scene. -Camping in the White Desert is a magical and unforgettable experience. Towering chalk rocks stand in the vast desert, carved into various shapes by the wind. Some are cute, some are weird. It is because of their existence that this desert has a unique charm. -In the early morning and at sunset, the desert appears orange and pink under the sunlight, creating a very dreamy atmosphere. At night, with the stars shining brightly overhead, these huge rocks, illuminated by the moonlight, look like white ghosts wandering in the wilderness. Leaving the camp and walking in the desert, I was instantly surrounded by the silence that I hadn’t felt for a long time, and my heart calmed down.
