A woman walks through the Black Desert near the Bahariya Oasis southwest of Cairo

A woman walks through the Black Desert near the Bahariya Oasis southwest of Cairo May 16, 2015. The Black Desert, given its name by the volcanic rock dolerite, similar to basalt, lies about 500 km southwest of the Egyptian capital Cairo. As the rock erodes over time, it takes on varying shades of black and grey, giving the landscape a charred look that contrasts with the lighter colours in the arid terrain. 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
In this photo print, we witness the enchanting allure of the Black Desert near the Bahariya Oasis, located southwest of Cairo. The image captures a woman gracefully traversing through this otherworldly landscape on May 16,2015. The Black Desert derives its name from the volcanic rock dolerite, akin to basalt, which dominates the terrain. Over time, as erosion takes its course, these rocks transform into an array of shades ranging from deep black to mesmerizing greys. This metamorphosis creates a charred appearance that starkly contrasts with the lighter hues found in this arid region. This photograph not only showcases nature's artistic prowess but also hints at the extraordinary experiences offered to intrepid travelers who venture here. Tourists can embark on thrilling four-by-four and trekking trips that immerse them in Bedouin culture and traditions. As night falls upon this mystical land, campfires illuminate while melodious Bedouin music fills the air. Underneath a breathtaking canopy adorned with countless stars, visitors find solace amidst such ethereal beauty. Amr Abdallah Dalsh masterfully captured this moment in time when nature's grandeur intersects with human exploration and curiosity. Through his lens, he transports us to a place where reality merges with dreams - an oasis of wonder within Egypt's vast desert expanse.
