Farafra’s White Desert in Egypt

Numerous tourists go to the town of Farafra in Egypt to view the miraculous White Desert, which is composed of chalky white sand and rock formations. Long ago the desert was underwater and rock layers materialized from marine life, before eventually forming a desert. Some of the snow-white rock formations are quite large (10 to 15 feet tall) and look like domes, castles, mushrooms, crickets, and other odd shapes. Overnight in the desert is a memorable experience where the sunset is spectacular, the night is silent, and the white rock formations seem to glow.
