Chalk formations of the White Desert at golden hour

The White Desert

A landscape from another planet, under a sky full of stars.

Surreal landscapes × camping × stars

Chalk towers sculpted by the wind into mushrooms and sphinxes, the volcanic hills of the Black Desert, and a night at camp under the Milky Way.

We travel by 4x4 from Bahariya, stop at the Crystal Mountain and the Black Desert, and set up camp among the formations for dinner by the fire.
