The beauty of Egypt's Western Desert

The Western Desert covers about 700,000 square kilometres and accounts for about two-thirds of Egypt's land area. It spans from the Mediterranean Sea south to the Sudanese border and from the Nile River Valley west to the Libyan border. There are seven important depressions within this area and all of these are considered oases (Siwa, El Faiyum, Bahariya, Farafra, Dakhla, Kharga) except the largest, Qattara. 



The Western Desert is one of the driest areas of the Sahara. The last significant rain fell six years ago which caused natural vegetation to remain green for two years.

  1. The pictures posted here look very beautiful and vivid for which I would like to thank the blogger. Egypt is a very famous country and we, as Pakistani, have brotherly cordial relations with Egyptians. Thank you, once again!
