Rocks known as El Mokhimat are seen in the Old White Desert near the Farafra Oasis

Rocks known as El Mokhimat (tents) are seen in the Old White Desert near the Farafra Oasis southwest of Cairo May 16, 2015. The White Desert, about 500 km southwest of the Egyptian capital Cairo, features limestone and chalk forms strangely shaped by the wind and sand, a terrain that gains in intensity when illuminated by the moon. Slightly to the north lies the Black Desert, given its name by the volcanic rock dolerite, similar to basalt. Four-by-four and trekking trips for tourists include Bedouin music around campfires and nights slept under a breathtaking array of stars. Picture taken May 16, 2015. REUTERS/Amr Abdallah Dalsh - GF

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the Old White Desert near the Farafra Oasis, located southwest of Cairo. The image captures a group of rocks known as El Mokhimat (tents) standing proudly amidst this otherworldly landscape. The White Desert, situated about 500 km away from Egypt's bustling capital, boasts limestone and chalk formations that have been uniquely shaped by the relentless forces of wind and sand over time. When bathed in moonlight, this terrain takes on an even more intense and ethereal quality. Just slightly north lies the Black Desert, named after its volcanic rock dolerite which closely resembles basalt. This region offers unforgettable experiences for adventurous tourists who embark on four-by-four and trekking trips. The allure of these expeditions extends beyond just witnessing nature's artistic creations; visitors are treated to enchanting evenings filled with Bedouin music around campfires while spending nights under a breathtaking canopy of stars. It is truly an immersive experience that allows one to disconnect from modern life and connect with the raw beauty of our planet. Amr Abdallah Dalsh skillfully captured this moment in May 2015, showcasing not only his photographic talent but also highlighting the magnificence found within Egypt's diverse landscapes.
