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.

Egypt's black and white desert is actually not sand
#埃西斯 #egypt #黑白漠杀 Traveling to Egypt in 2023~ I heard that the newest attraction is the Black and White Desert, so my friends booked a trip and said they wanted to go. It takes five hours from the city to enter the black and white desert and reach the base of cute round tents. Our trip is two days and one night, and meals are included. However, since it is a camping trip, there is no bathroom, but there is a toilet where you can brush your teeth. The itinerary will include black and white deserts, oases and other attractions. But the black and white desert is actually black and white stones. We originally thought it would be black and white sand, and we learned a lesson there. The scenery is still very special, you can interact with the big rocks and take photos
