The “Black Desert” in the Bahariya Oasis is one of the most important natural tourist attractions in Egypt and the world; it is made up of mountains of volcanic rocks scattered.
How were those mountains formed?

Visitors to Egypt can visit one of the most unusual regions in the world on their way to the White Desert, the Black Desert. It was formed over thousands of years by volcanic activity in the area, and now the desert is covered with black stones of hardened lava. In some places, you can see majestic hills covered with black rocks; other parts are extensive plains with orange to brown terrain.
The mountains of the black desert are covered by a layer of dust and black rocks, which has given the name to the area. You can climb one of the highest peaks to get a panoramic view of the entire Black Desert site, enjoy its strange landscape’s beautiful views and observe the black stones’ iron composition.

How to get to the Black Desert in Egypt?
The most frequent is private four-wheel drive vehicle access because the public transport that passes through the area does not have an established stop in the black desert. There is the possibility of spending the night in the black desert.
